New build tools, freeform routes, and a fresh new look

A New Build Toolbar

A redesigned, contextual toolbar now follows you everywhere — browse, view, or build. Select sections, waypoints, and track points to act on them together, Inspect anything on the map, and reach for modern tools to cut, split, trim, or remove a section in a single move.

The All-New Trip Planner

Pick the places you want to visit and Rumo builds a routed trip that connects them — in a smart order, with start and end points and a max drive time per day. Premium adds weighted routing to favor your must-hit stops over the nice-to-haves.

The Draw Tool

Sketch your route by hand, stroke by stroke. As you go, the tool automatically follows the roads and tracks beneath your stroke — or flip on cross-country mode to break away and draw freely across open ground.

Smarter Via Points

Mark planned stops with real dwell time that folds into your total trip time, tag them by type, add notes, and see it all right on the map.

Richer Road & Surface Data

Every trip now carries a detailed road-type and surface breakdown — paved percentage, surface types, even ferries and tunnels — and imported GPX tracks are map-matched to earn the same detail as routed and drawn sections.

Also in this release

Low Power Mode for slower devices · Maritime parks (Premium) · waypoint cleanup tools · a better tablet experience · richer folder previews · and a long list of fixes. Come see what's new on your next route.

Full release notes

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
