MapSteps (Walking)

MapSteps — precise route tracking, step counting, group walks, and shareable walk videos for walking and hiking

From your daily neighborhood walk to a mountain trek, from counting your everyday steps to walking with friends, MapSteps combines your phone's GPS with its motion sensors to give you route and performance tracking you can actually trust.

🚶 PRECISE ROUTE TRACKING
An advanced sensor-fusion algorithm blends GPS with accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer data to draw a smooth, accurate route on the map — staying reliable even through GPS dropouts near tunnels or tall buildings.

👥 GROUP WALKS — NEW
Walking with friends, a club, or the whole family? Start a group walk, share the invitation to your WhatsApp group with one tap, and everyone who joins appears on your map as a colored dot with their initial. Tap a dot to see who it is and how far away they are. Nobody gets lost at the back, nobody wonders where the front has gone — up to 40 people, updated every minute. Joining takes one tap on the link; no account needed. You decide when your position is shared and can switch it off at any moment. Group data is deleted when the walk ends.

🧭 WALK A ROUTE
Download a hiking trail as a GPX file from any trail site, import it into MapSteps, and set off — the trail is drawn on the map ahead of you the whole way, so you always know where the path goes next. Or pick a walk you recorded earlier and retrace it. MapSteps measures how much of the route you actually covered and tells you whether you beat your previous time. Send the route to a friend and challenge them to walk it faster. (Premium)

🎬 WALK VIDEOS
Turn any finished walk into a short vertical video — your route drawing itself across the map alongside your distance, steps, and pace — ready to share anywhere. The photos you took along the way are woven straight in: as the route reaches the spot where you took each shot, the video pauses there and shows it. Took better shots with your camera app? Add them from your gallery and pick exactly which photos make the cut before the video is made. Choose a soundtrack from five built-in tracks or import your own music.

🚗 AUTOMATIC VEHICLE PAUSE
Catch a bus or hop in a car in the middle of a walk and MapSteps pauses on its own, then picks up again from the moment you start walking. The ride is never drawn into your route.

🏃 WALK & RUN MODE
Step cadence and speed switch the app between walking and running automatically, with pace calculations tuned for each — and running is never mistaken for a ride.

⛰️ ELEVATION PROFILE
Track your elevation change live via barometer (or GPS as a fallback), then review your climbs and descents in a post-walk chart.

📸 GEOTAGGED PHOTOS
Photos you take during a walk are automatically pinned to the exact spot on your route map — and they carry through into your walk video and your GPX export.

📊 DETAILED STATISTICS
Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly step charts; set a personal goal and celebrate when you hit.

🗺️ FLEXIBLE MAP VIEWS
Normal, satellite, terrain, and hybrid map types; pan the map freely while tracking.

🔋 EASY ON YOUR BATTERY
Long walks stay light on power, and if power saving is on, MapSteps tells you up front what it costs your accuracy.
