Plan a loop · Summit

Tell Summit how much you want to climb, and it finds loops on sidewalks, trails and park paths that start and finish where you are.

#Set how much climb you want

The big number at the top of the Plan card is your target.

Tap a preset: 250, 500, 1000 or 2000 ft.
Or drag the slider, anywhere from 100 to 3,000 ft in steps of 50.
The ft / m switch changes units. In meters, the presets are 100, 150, 300 and 600, and the slider runs from 30 to 900 m.

#Set the start

Summit puts the start pin on your current location when the Plan tab opens. To start somewhere else:

Tap the map to move the pin.
Tap the magnifying glass to search for a trailhead, park or address.
Tap the location button to put the pin back on where you're standing.

The Start pin / End pin switch decides which pin a tap or a search moves. With only a start pin, Summit plans a loop. Add an end pin and it plans a start-to-end walk instead. Clear end takes the end pin away.

#Find routes

Tap Find my route. Summit tries a small loop first to learn how hilly your area is, then tries several loops of different lengths in different directions. It takes a few seconds. Cancel search stops it.

You get up to three cards. Swipe between them, and the map shows each route as you go.

Card	What it is
Best Match	The loop whose climb is closest to what you asked for
Steep & Short	A shorter loop that gets the climb from steeper hills
Gradual	The loop with the gentlest grades among those close to your target

Each card shows the loop's climb, an elevation profile, the distance, a time estimate and the steepest grade. A grade over 18% reads Steep so you know it may mean stairs or a very steep street. Summit doesn't hide those routes, because sometimes steep is what you want.

Tap Start this walk to take the route to the Walk tab. New search goes back to the Plan card.
