We have launched our most advanced update yet, bringing a new standard of hike planning
Available now to update now form the app stores, HiiKER 26 introduces powerful new tools for planning, navigating, and sharing hiking adventures.
At the core of this release is a major expansion of the our hike planner. Hikers can now:
- Plan multi day adventures – with the ability to reorder, edit, merge, and split routes. Add more details by naming and adding descriptions to routes
- Alternative route types – Set hike segments as alts, spurs, or transport routes to fully plan out all potential outcomes of the hike. Transport routes won’t count toward hike stats, allowing for more accurate planning.
- Snap to the right path – Snap the route to walking paths, cycling paths, driving roads, or drawing straight lines to fully customise your journey.
- Add highlights – Mark unmissable locations and points of interest directly on the map.
- Super search – Quickly search for hikes, POIs, locations and through your own activities right from the home page.
- Organise your hikes – Create epic hike lists from HiiKER hikes and your own custom hikes. Additional search and sorting tools to help find your plans!
- Submit hike for review – Want to share your hikes with the world? You can now submit your own epic adventures to become HiiKER hikes for others to enjoy. Once approved we will publish and tag you as the creator?
- Free 3D previews – Others charge you to preview your adventure. Get a 3D panoramic view of every peak and valley free in the app and on the website.
- Community activity – Check out how other HiiKERs are hiking around the world with our new community feed
- Comments and replies – Review and learn about each trail directly on the hike page with comments and reply threads to chat with other HiiKERs.
- New HiiKER hub – Now all of your hikes, stats and activities are easily accessible right on the Home page
- Powerful new search – Our new search is more powerful than ever. Search for hikes, through your own activities, lists and even shortcuts for HiiKER features, all in one place.
With these tools, HiiKER becomes the most comprehensive dedicated multi-day hike planner available today—equally suited for plotting a simple weekend walk in the lake district or preparing for an expedition to Chamonix.
Faster, smoother, better
Behind the scenes, HiiKER has introduced major performance upgrades. Maps load faster, custom routes are more responsive, and the overall app experience is more optimized than ever.
Peter Britton, CXO and Co-founder of HiiKER, said:
“We started HiiKER with a simple goal: to map the world’s best hikes and build the best digital toolkit for real hikers. This update brings us another step closer to that goal—giving our community key tools to plan, share, and enjoy hiking in a way that hasn’t been possible until now.”
With this release, we’re setting our intention to be the leading platform for planning hike, combining powerful preparation tools and navigation features with a growing global community.
