Advanced GPX & POI management for bikepacking

[Marc Rollinde]

Hello Mapy team,

First of all, thank you for creating such a great application. I have tried many cycling apps over the years, and Mapy has become my favorite because of its excellent map, clean interface, offline capabilities, and overall simplicity.

I mainly use Mapy for multi-day bikepacking and cycling trips. During these trips, I often need to improvise based on weather, terrain, or unexpected situations. Your map is, in my opinion, one of the best available for cyclists.

There are a few features that would make Mapy almost perfect for this type of use:

• Display multiple GPX tracks simultaneously.
• Display multiple folders/layers of POIs at the same time.
• Display GPX tracks together with their waypoints/POIs on Android, as already possible on the web version.
• Convert an imported GPX track into a routable/navigation route.
• Allow imported tracks to be used as visible reference layers while creating a new route.

These features would be extremely valuable for bikepacking, where users often keep:

• a main route,
• alternative routes,
• escape routes,
• water points,
• campsites,
• shops,
• points of interest,

all visible together on the map.

I know that some of these requests have already been discussed on the forum, but I wanted to explain why they are so important from a real bikepacking perspective.

Mapy is already an excellent cycling application. Adding these features would make it one of the best outdoor navigation apps available.

Thank you for your work and for considering these suggestions.
