FATMAP Latest Updates - What's New? // September 2021

There have been so many new features and improvements recently, it’s time for another update on the latest things to check out on the FATMAP App and Website!

Route to Waypoints & POIs in the FATMAP App

 
 

Often when you're on-the-go you might need to find the best way to get to a peak when there's not a trail already on the map, or you're following a route but have a change of plan and need to navigate to a different location.

Our latest feature, Route To, easily allows you to do these things by giving you the option to route to a Waypoint or POI.

You can select your mode of transport (on foot, mountain bike, road bike or vehicle), reverse the direction of the route and change the start or destination at any time, all within the FATMAP app.

Enhanced Adventure Editing

We’ve improved the Adventure editing options in the FATMAP app, so that you can now you can edit and update your Adventures at any time to add photos, change the title, update the description and more.

Plus, you'll also now see that photos take priority on the thumbnails of all Adventures in the app - so don't forget to add your best shots!

Head over to My Adventures in your Profile on the FATMAP to edit away and read our full FAQ guide here on managing and editing your Adventures.

Embed Guidebooks

Not only can you easily embed FATMAP routes on your website, but now we're excited to say you can also embed Guidebooks!

This means you can show off whole collections of routes on one embed, rather than just a single route.

Check out our full guide here on how to embed Routes and Guidebooks.
