Why Compath?

byβ€’

There are already great apps for outdoor activities.

  • Komoot helps you discover and navigate routes.

  • Strava helps you track and share your activities.

  • OpenRunner is a powerful route planning and mapping tool.

So why build another outdoor app?

Because we think the outdoor experience starts before you hit the trail.

With Compath, a route isn't just a line on a map.

It’s everything around it.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Find & create

Discover 25,000+ routes or create your own. Draw a route directly on the map, see distance, elevation and slope as you build it, generate a route based on your activity and distance, or import a GPX.

πŸ”Ž Understand the terrain

Before going, see what you're actually going to encounter: elevation, steep sections, terrain, satellite imagery and 3D terrain.

You can even visualize the steepest sections directly on the map.

⚠️ Prepare for real-world conditions

This is where we want Compath to be different.

A route can look perfect on a map and still be a bad idea that day.

Compath brings together the conditions that can actually affect your outing:

  • Weather, hour by hour

  • Rain radar

  • Avalanche bulletins and the slopes concerned

  • Recorded avalanche areas

  • Hunting areas

  • Livestock guardian dog areas

  • Wildlife restrictions

  • Wildfire risk

  • Terrain moisture

  • Drone restrictions

  • And more ...

Instead of asking only β€œCan I do this route?”, Compath helps you ask:

β€œIs this the right route, in these conditions, on this day?”

πŸ“… Plan the right moment

Choose your date and starting time, even sunrise or sunset.

Compath calculates where you'll be along the route and shows the conditions you'll encounter at each stage.

And because conditions can change, Compath keeps monitoring them as your trip gets closer and can notify you when something important changes.

πŸ“‘ Be ready when there's no signal

Before leaving, download your maps, GPS track, points of interest, terrain information and relevant conditions.

Once you're out there, Compath works as your GPS, even offline.

πŸ†˜ Safety doesn't stop when you start walking

Share your live location with your loved ones, report obstacles or dangerous sections, and keep the information you need directly on your map.

That's the idea behind Compath.

We're not trying to build another app that simply tells you where to go.

We're building an outdoor companion that helps you find, prepare, plan and follow your adventure from the first idea to the trail and back home.

Find. Prepare. Go.
