Frequently Asked Questions

What you want to know before your first film: devices, recording, costs and privacy.

Have a question that is not covered? We welcome your feedback.

Which tours can Maptale show?

Any tour you recorded: hiking, mountain tours, cycling, bikepacking, running, motorcycle or road trips, and journeys of all kinds. In Studio, you choose the mode of transport and pace for each segment.

What that looks like for a hike ›

How do my tours get into Maptale?

There are three ways:

  • Record with the Maptale app for Android.
  • Link your Polar account: new activities come in by themselves (more services coming).
  • Upload a GPX file in the studio. Almost every sports watch and app exports one, for example Garmin, Strava or Komoot.
How does Maptale differ from Relive?

Maptale turns your tour into a film that runs in the browser and has its own address to share. You choose music, camera and photo stops; light and weather are those of that day.

What does Maptale cost and how is the project funded?

In alpha, Maptale is free. Paid options will follow later, as the project needs to sustain itself. What they look like is not decided yet. We do not sell your data, and it is stored on servers in Europe.

Is Maptale available for iOS or without an app?

Player and Studio run in the browser on desktop, tablet, and phone. You do not need an app to watch tours or work with GPX files. The app is available for Android, with an iOS version in preparation.

Where does the weather data come from?

Maptale determines historical weather through Open-Meteo for the exact location and hour of your tour. Photos along the route refine the picture: image analysis aligns sky and lighting with the weather data.
