Frequently Asked Questions
How does WayMe know when I’m off-route?

WayMe uses GPS and virtual geofences to detect if you stray from your planned route. If you leave the safe zone, you’ll receive an off-track alert so you can quickly return to your path.

Does WayMe work without an internet connection?

Yes! WayMe supports offline maps and navigation. Plan and download your route before your hike, and stay informed even when there’s no signal.

How does LiveTracking work?

LiveTracking lets you share a private link with friends or family so they can follow your progress in real time. Only those you choose can access this link.

What if I stop moving or become unresponsive?

With ProgressCheck and OverTime Alerts, WayMe monitors your movement and compares it to your planned hike. If you’re behind schedule and don’t respond to prompts, your emergency contacts will be automatically notified with a link to your last known location.

Can I plan my own routes or upload GPX files?

Yes! You can:

  • Select routes from our preloaded trail library
  • Plot your own route directly in the app
  • Upload GPX files for custom or race-specific paths
Can I share my hike on social media?

Yes! After completing a hike, you can share your route and adventure highlights directly to your social media or within the WayMe community.

How does WayMe affect battery life?

WayMe uses GPS to track your location, which may slightly increase battery usage. However, we’ve optimized the app for efficiency. For example, on an iPhone 16 Pro, WayMe can typically run for 7+ hours before needing to recharge. Actual performance may vary depending on your device, network conditions, and other active apps.

Can I use WayMe without enabling safety features?

Yes! If you prefer to hike without safety alerts, select “Just Hike” mode and tap Start. WayMe will record your route without triggering safety features. You’ll still have access to offline maps and can use LiveTracking if desired.
