A DIFFERENT WAY TO PREPARE

Know more before
the first step.

For the weekend trail you know by heart, or the mountain you have only seen on a map. Hedda gives the terrain, the paths and the useful places room to make sense.

01 / SEE

Read the mountain

Turn satellite imagery and elevation data into a 3D view of ridges, valleys and approaches.

02 / CHOOSE

Compare your way

Tap a destination and explore available mapped paths with distance, climb and steepness.

03 / GO

Carry it offline

Download the map before leaving. Follow your GPS position even without mobile data.

ROUTE PLANNING

One summit.
More than one way.

Choose a peak, hut or another objective. When mapped paths connect to it, Hedda highlights a route from your current or simulated location.

  • See the path drawn directly across the 3D terrain.
  • Switch between alternatives when more than one route is available.
  • Compare distance, ascent and steepness before you set out.

Route availability depends on mapped trail data. Hedda is a planning aid, so always check conditions on the ground.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
before you head out.

Do downloaded maps need mobile data?

No. Once a map is on your phone, you can view it offline and use real GPS to see your position. You need internet to request, build or download a new map.

Can I plan a hike when I am not there yet?

Yes. Double-tap a spot on the map to set a simulated GPS position. You can then preview available routes from that point.

Where can I make a custom map?

Choose a rectangular area anywhere in the world. Free accounts can request one custom map per week up to 16 x 16 km. Larger areas and more creation are available with Premium.

How are new maps created?

New packages are prepared on a server, so you need internet to submit a request and download the result. You can continue using the app while a map is being prepared or queued. Premium server copies have a 100 MB storage limit and expire after seven days; maps already downloaded remain on your device.

Where do routes and terrain come from?

Trails and points of interest are drawn from available OpenStreetMap data. Satellite imagery is based on Sentinel-2, with elevation from Copernicus data. Coverage and route availability vary by area.
