<![CDATA[Off-trail / Winter freehand routing mode]]>Hi Mapy.cz Team,
​I really appreciate the Premium freehand route drawing feature. However, it would be extremely useful to have a dedicated Off-Trail / Winter mode for this tool.
​During winter hiking (or when going off-piste/snowshoeing), standard summer trails are often impassable or covered in snow, requiring users to navigate custom terrain lines.
​Key improvements needed:
​Ability to save a freehand drawing strictly as a line-of-sight/off-trail track without auto-routing strictly to OSM trails.
​Full turn-by-turn or heading/off-course alerts when following an off-trail drawn route in winter conditions.
​Calculation of slope steepness along the custom drawn line (crucial for avalanche safety assessment).
​Thanks for considering this!

You can currently enable slope steepness in the map settings in the mobile app (online only). This might be helpful when planning and navigating in winter terrain.

Unfortunately, at the moment we don’t have plans to support routing outside marked trails and paths. We’ll pass your suggestions on to the team for consideration.
