About Pebblepath

Pebblepath downloads whole regions as vector maps, so route planning, elevation and your position all keep working in airplane mode. A region the size of a national park takes about 120 MB.

Plan a loop at home, send it to your phone, and follow a line that reroutes when a path is closed. If you wander off, a breadcrumb trail shows the way back to where you started.

What it does well

  • Offline regions

    Download by drawing a box on the map. Two regions are free, and Pro removes the limit.

  • Elevation-aware routes

    Every route shows total ascent and a profile, and you can ask for the gentler option.

  • Breadcrumb trail

    Records your track at low power and points you back along it.

  • GPX in and out

    Import routes from other tools and export your own tracks without a paywall.
