Plan a start-to-end walk

Set both a start and an end pin, and Summit works out how many trips between them get you the climb you asked for.

#Set both pins

1. Set your target climb as you would for a loop.
2. Put the start pin where you'll begin.
3. Switch to End pin and tap the map, or search, to set where you'll finish. The Plan card now says Start to end.
4. Tap Find my route.

#Read the result

Summit routes the walk both ways, because a hill you climb going out is one you descend coming back. Then it finds the fewest trips that reach your target and still end at your end point.

The card tells you the shape of the walk:

• One way means the walk from start to end already has enough climb.
• 2 laps, 2½ laps and so on means back-and-forth trips. A half lap is one leg. You always finish on an outbound leg, at your end point.

Under that, it says how much you'll climb and how far you'll walk in total. The elevation profile shows one outbound leg.

Tap Start this walk to take it to the Walk tab. The map there shows both legs.
