Features

Everything Introvert Maps does today. Only shipped features are listed here — the site never advertises something the app can’t do. Each one has a step-by-step guide.

Maps & navigation

Offline vector maps

Vector topo maps — trails, contour lines, peaks, water and land — rendered on your device and working with zero signal.

Region downloads

Download regions cell by cell; the map fills in progressively, and each region shows its data date.

Marked-trail rendering & filters

Coloured marked hiking/biking routes by their waymark; toggle Hike / Bike / Field, plus SAC grade and surface.

Offline place & station search

Per-region place search and cross-feed station search, diacritic-insensitive, fully offline.

First-launch overview

A coarse whole-coverage map appears immediately; on Wi-Fi the app auto-prefetches your region’s overview.

Peer-to-peer region sharing

Send a downloaded region to a nearby device over local peer-to-peer — no signal, no server.

Routing

Offline on-device routing

Plan hiking and biking routes fully offline. Profiles for trekking, mountain hiking, mountain/gravel/road bike, and quiet roads.

Live Activity navigation

A lock-screen mini-map / route-ahead Live Activity while you navigate.

Public transport

Transit departure boards

Offline rail departure boards for whole countries, with platform and bikes/wheelchair glyphs.

Live delay overlay

Live train delays layered on the board when online, cached for offline, with an “as of” banner.

Multi-leg journey planner

Offline door-to-door transit routing — fastest vs fewest changes.

City & metro bundles

All-modes packages for cities like Berlin, Paris, London, Amsterdam and Warsaw on top of national rail.

Weather, sky & water

Offline weather forecast

Local forecast fetched when online and cached, so the last copy shows offline.

A “stargazing tonight” 0–5 score from darkness × moon × cloud.

Storm / pressure sensing
