Read full description

Waypath is a run, hike and ride tracker built around one idea: the ROUTE. Browse 426,000 trails across 37 countries. Draw your own line and follow it live. Chase a pacer that reads the climbs ahead instead of holding a flat number. And see training figures that tell you when they do not have enough data yet, instead of guessing. EXPLORE 426,000 TRAILS • 75 curated regions — the Alps, the Rockies, the Appalachians, Patagonia, the Japanese Alps, the Drakensberg and more • Each region says what the ground is like and the season it usually suits • Distance, elevation, shape and difficulty for every trail • Conditions from other walkers: "icy above 1800 m, reported two days ago" is worth more than any star rating • Photographs, comments and reports from the people who were just there GHOST RUNNER — A PACER THAT READS THE GROUND • Chase your best on this route, a personal record, the course record, or a race goal • It reads the climbs and descents ahead, so it holds your EFFORT rather than a flat pace • Four clear states, each with its own word, symbol and colour • A buzz when you cross between them, and optional spoken alerts • On your wrist, the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and a Live Activity TRACK • GPS for runs, walks, hikes and rides — start, pause, resume, finish • Live time, distance, current and average pace, elevation gain • Smart filtering drops bad fixes and speed spikes, so the distance is honest • Records with the screen locked; location is used only while you record APPLE WATCH, ON ITS OWN • Start, pause and finish from the wrist with no phone nearby • Heart rate, pace, distance, elevation and the pacer, in Always-On • Your watch's measured calories, not an estimate TRAINING YOU CAN TRUST • Readiness from sleep, resting heart rate and heart-rate variability, against your own 28-day baselines • Training load, fitness and freshness • Race predictions fitted to your own results across separate days — and clearly labelled as the standard model until you have enough • VO₂max says whether Apple measured it or Waypath modelled it. Never both at once ROUTES AND MAPS • Draw a route by tapping the map; each leg snaps to walkable paths • Follow it live with your planned line under your track, and a warning if you drift • 3D terrain, satellite and hybrid • Your personal heatmap, built from every finished activity SHARE • Share cards and a cinematic flyover of your route • Live position sharing — the people you send the link to can follow along in any browser, with no account and no app • Follow friends, react, comment, repost PREMIUM Free covers tracking, one saved route and the basics. Premium adds unlimited routes, the full heatmap, the Ghost Runner, training analysis, race predictions and coach-grade reports.
