Summary
TouchTrails is a trail running route planning app by Austrian developer Wolfgang Knecht that offers flexible route creation from scratch, GPX file editing (detours, removing steep sections, merging routes), and standalone Apple Watch navigation with offline maps. The app bridges the gap between simple route builders and advanced GPX editors, providing features like distance/elevation targets, turn-by-turn navigation, and full watch independence without needing a phone nearby.
