Hatchure: Ride, Hike, Run

Loops to ride, hike and run — and every stop on the way with a time: open or closed when you get there. The route is the easy part. What ruins a day is the hut that has shut, the store that is closed on Sunday, the water fountain that has run dry. Hatchure plans around what matters out there: where the water is, what is still open, and when you will be there. LOOPS More than 37,000 round trips across Europe: over 12,000 to hike, 17,000 to run and 8,000 to ride. Plus some 2,400 passes and summits, each with the loops that go over it. Every loop shows its elevation profile and its stops in the order you reach them — with what is open by then. Start it wherever you like: at the station, the hotel, or where you stand. FOR LATER Keep a loop for later. On Thursday evening Hatchure tells you which day of the weekend suits it: dry, the temperature at the top, light wind. The weather is checked on your phone. HORIZON AND 3D Home stands on your horizon: the climbs around you, and when the sun goes down. Tilt the map and the ground stands up in 3D — or turn the whole route around as a 3D model. ON FOOT AND ON THE BIKE Walking time the way the signposts give it (DIN 33466), pace for a run, difficulty on the SAC scale. Springs, shelters and viewpoints are stops of their own, and Hatchure tells you beforehand whether you'll finish after sunset. On the bike, arrival times follow your weight, your bike and the climbing. YOUR OWN ROUTE Draw a route and Hatchure takes it along real ways, searching for stops in the corridor along it. Say when you set off, and every stop gets a time. If the hut sits just off your route, one tap takes you past it. ON THE WAY Your next stop sits on the lock screen: name, distance, arrival time, and whether it is open then. No turn-by-turn, just your stops, with an alert as you near each one, out loud if you like. Every day you record goes to Health Connect as a ride, hike or run. FIRST-HAND Stops come from OpenStreetMap and from people who were there. Confirm, correct or add one. Share a route as a link; nobody needs the app to look. ALSO • Planning needs no account. Saving and GPX need a free one, with Google or email. • No ads, no trackers. • Offline areas: the map and its stops without signal. • Home-screen widgets and launcher shortcuts, on phones and tablets. • In English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. Miles or kilometers. • Stops are dense in Germany and the Alps, thinner beyond. SUPPORTER+ AND PATRON Free, you save 3 routes with 10 stops each.
