Plan your route before you head out. Draw your route on the map or import a GPX or TCX file. MeteoRuta shows you the distance, the elevation, the wind and rain on every segment, the temperature and the best time to set off. Then it guides you and records your activity. PLAN YOUR ROUTE • Draw it on the map, including straight lines, cross-country. • Import routes as GPX or TCX. • Distance and elevation profile: total climbing, highest and lowest point. • Discover routes from the community. YOUR ROUTE'S WEATHER, SEGMENT BY SEGMENT • Not the forecast for your town: the wind and rain on each segment, at the time you'll get there. • Tailwind, headwind or crosswind (from the left or right), in green, red and yellow. • When and where it will rain, plus the temperature and how it feels. • The best time to go: move the time slider and watch your route change. BEFORE YOU GO • Preview your route with street-level imagery. • Download offline maps of Spain for when there's no signal. • Wind alerts: the evening before your rides, at 7 pm, we tell you the wind and rain on your route and the best time to go. ON THE WAY • Record your activity with GPS: distance, time, speed and elevation. • Turn-by-turn navigation with voice prompts and the wind ahead of you. • Your recording, visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. AFTERWARDS • Save your activities and export them as GPX or FIT to take them to your watch or bike computer. • Share a 3D video of your route, like a flight over the course, and story images over your own photo. • Privacy zones hide your start and finish: no one sees where you live. COMMUNITY • Public or private profile. • Follow other athletes and see their routes and activities. • Likes, comments and notifications. • Post your activities for everyone or keep them just for you. • Report and block anyone who breaks the rules. FOR YOUR SPORT Road cycling, gravel and MTB, running, trail running, hiking and mountaineering. Also swimming, sailing and motor boating. PRIVACY • We don't sell your data and the app has no ads. • We only use your location with your permission.
