This is one of the biggest releases yet. The entire build experience has been rebuilt around a new contextual toolbar that follows you everywhere — whether you're browsing the map, viewing a trip, or building one — and it's joined by the all-new Trip Planner, which builds a routed trip from the places you choose. It also brings a powerful new Select tool, an Inspect tool, and a new Draw tool for sketching routes by hand, plus a refreshed look, smarter section editing, and deeper Via Point planning — along with a new Low Power Mode, smarter map data, and waypoint cleanup tools.
Changes
- A refreshed look and feel
- The interface has been given a modern refresh — cleaner panels, clearer hierarchy, and a more cohesive look across the Trip Builder
- Editing a section now opens a dedicated panel with your most-used actions up front (export, notes, reverse, color, speed, visibility) and the rest tucked into a tidy More menu
- The keyboard-shortcut reference has a fresh look and now covers more of what you can do
- The trip preview now shows distance, time, sections, and waypoints as at-a-glance tiles
- A brand-new toolbar and a more powerful way to build
- The old edit-only tools have been replaced by a new toolbar docked to the left edge that adapts to what you're doing
- Select — marquee-select sections, waypoints, and track points, then act on them together. Shift-click to add, Alt-click to subtract, and use Keep only to narrow a selection down
- Inspect — hover anything on the map to dig into its underlying data
- Measure — quickly measure distance across the map
- Modernized section operations: cut or split a section anywhere along its line, remove a section with a single click, and trim away everything before or after a point
- The all-new Trip Planner
- Pick the places you want to visit and let Rumo build a routed trip that connects them — no more stitching sections together by hand
- The planner works out a sensible order for you automatically, or keep your own with My order
- Set your start and end points, close the loop, and dial in a max drive time per day
- Append a planned route straight into the trip you're already editing
- Weighted routing (Premium) — mark which stops are must-hit versus nice-to-have. High-priority places anchor the route while the rest fold in only if they're roughly on the way, with a single tolerance slider setting how much of a detour is acceptable. Stops left off the line stay on as optional markers you can detour to.
- A new Draw tool
- A new Draw tool lets you sketch a route by hand, stroke by stroke, instead of routing point to point
- As you draw, the tool automatically follows the road and track data on the map beneath your stroke
- Need to leave the network? Switch on cross-country mode to break away and draw freely across open ground
- Drawn lines pick up real road type and surface data — including paved-percentage and a surface breakdown — just like routed sections
- You can draw over an existing line section to reshape it, and everything round-trips cleanly through GPX
- Richer map data and legend
- More road and surface data than ever — every trip now carries a detailed road-type and surface breakdown (paved percentage, surface and road types, even ferries, tolls, bridges, and tunnels)
- Imported GPX tracks are now map-matched, so they earn the same rich road and surface detail as routed and drawn sections
- Maritime parks (Premium) — a new toggle for marine and coastal protected areas
- Legend group toggles — flip an entire legend group on or off at once
- Refined park and protected-area fills, paths now appear earlier when zoomed out (Premium), and cleaner stroke/fill transitions
- Smarter section editing
- Section edits now happen in a staged session with clear Save and Cancel — changes only commit when you're ready, and Cancel cleanly discards them
- Improved section action menus and a cleaner collapsed view
- Deeper Via Point planning
- Via points now carry real dwell time — declare how long you'll stay and it's folded into your total trip time
- Name your stops, tag them by type (overnight, fuel, food, water, rest), and add notes
- Via point details now surface directly in the UI and on the map based on your preference
- Via points export in both Garmin-standard and Rumo's extended format so they survive a round-trip
- Waypoint cleanup tools
- Delete Waypoints — select and clear waypoints in bulk from a clear confirmation modal
- Remove Duplicate Waypoints — tidy up stacked or repeated waypoints in a single action
- Folder View
- Pin all / unpin all directly from a folder
- A new folder action menu for quicker management
- Sort and filter your trip sections, with your folder sort order remembered across visits
- A dedicated home for unsorted and unpinned trips, plus an improved overall layout
- The folder preview pane now shows richer trip metadata, including road and surface breakdowns
- Cloud Storage
- Google Drive is now live! Connect it and import or export GPX using the familiar native Google picker
- A smoother experience across every connected cloud provider
- If a connection goes stale, reconnect inline without losing your place, with graceful recovery when a token has expired
- Low Power Mode
- A new Low Power Mode toggle in Map Settings trims map detail — hillshading, contours, and resolution — for smoother performance on slower devices
- General
- An improved tablet experience across the Trip Builder and Folder View
- Significant performance and memory improvements across the app — sections, waypoints, and map layers all render leaner
- A redesigned scale control and tighter alignment between the road legend and map features
Fixes
- General Items
- Via point dwell times are now stored more consistently
- The Map Legend's None option no longer leaves road data showing, and toggle alignment was improved
- Closing a trip opened from the Trip Planner now returns you to the map
- Trip Planner zoom-to-fit was improved to better frame the content being planned
- Pinned trips now regenerate a proper snapshot on save, and hidden sections and waypoints are ignored
- Sections that were showing 0 distance are fixed
- The Unsorted Trips folder now behaves correctly
- Hovering road types now works on the satellite map
- Restored missing road style lines in the map feature card
- Cloud file names no longer rely on underscores
