Because you can choose to use Google maps in the app, we are required to disclose the data collected by Google in our App Store listing. If you do not use Google maps minimal data is collected. See our privacy policy for details.
NOTE: Mapping function requires a data connection. WiFi-only iPads are not supported because they don't have a GPS receiver. Using GPS will shorten battery life.

TIPS FOR MAPPING ROUTES
• For longer routes, try zooming in and mapping your route in multiple segments.
• Tap and hold the map to quickly route between waypoints and POIs.
• Did Footpath snap to the wrong roads? Trace over the incorrect segment to edit, or use the eraser tool.
• Turn off snap to roads (magnet icon) and zoom in to manually trace the map. (Try switching to a satellite layer).
• Displaying maps and continuously running GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Navigate without maps or with the screen off for all day battery life.
