The map has many other advanced features, such as:

- Breadcrumb trail of your whole route is displayed on the map;

- Scale is shown when zooming, showing distance to features;

- Map can auto-rotate with direction of travel or the compass;

- GPX / TCX / FIT Routes can be displayed on top of the map to aid navigation;

- Turn by turn navigation if contained in the route file;

- Bend Detection to create turns if no turn by turn in the route file;

- Climb & Descent detection with coloured profiles on screen during a workout;

- Routes are coloured by gradient: from red for uphill to blue for downhill;

- Routes can be shown 'hollow', to see the trail underneath;

- Alerts are generated when you deviate from the GPX route;

- Waypoints can be created, navigated to, and exported;

- Also navigate to points on the map (e.g. hospitals, cafes, sights etc);

- Compass can be displayed (and also toggles auto-rotation);

- Green compass points to start (and shows distance if tapped);

- Map-only is available for when you don't want to start a workout;

- Maps are highly customisable with many different colour schemess;

- Geocaching files with groudspeak waypoints are displayed as icons;

- "Smart Contours" use colours to help read the terrain
