PitStopper for walkers and hikers

A long walk is planned around its gaps: the next water, the next shop, somewhere dry to sit out a shower. Load your route and PitStopper lists what is within reach of the path, and flags the stretches where there is nothing.

It works from the GPX you already have, or you can plan the walk here on foot-friendly paths and tracks.

What changes for walkers and hikers

The Walker preset

One tap ticks drinking water, springs and taps, pubs and cafes, toilets, benches, viewpoints, picnic sites and shelters.

Planned on foot

The planner's Foot activity routes on paths and tracks rather than roads, and times the walk at walking pace.

Times that allow for hills

Steep ground slows the estimate and descents speed it up. Set your own pace, or let Pace Maker learn it from a recorded walk.

Steepness you can see

The elevation profile is coloured by gradient, so the hard sections are visible before you set off.

More in the help

Daylight on the route

Give it a start time and sunrise and sunset appear as stops along the route, so you can see where the light runs out.

Out on the trail

Export a GPX with the stops as waypoints (with icons for OsmAnd and Locus), or send the route to the PitStopper On-the-go phone app.
