What's New — Dirt Map

Dirt Map 5.5

See the ground from above, and share your trip live.

Satellite view — check tree cover and clearings from above before you commit. Victoria and New Zealand for now, more areas coming. Pro.
Beacon — share a live link so family and mates can follow your trip on the map. No app or sign-in needed to watch. Pro.
Send feedback from the app — type a note or record a voice memo, right from the About screen.

A cleaner drive — the navigation bar shows distance or arrival time at a tap, with the road you're on right above it.
Navigation keeps guiding you with the screen off and your phone in your pocket.
Search a track and navigate straight to its trailhead.
Plans long routes more reliably — no more giving up early on the big trips.

Reversing a saved route now flips A and B everywhere — on the map, the elevation profile and the route itself.

Reshape routes with a drag, navigate from anywhere, and a clearer drive.

Reshape a saved route — drag any waypoint and the route reroutes instantly, even offline.
Waypoints are numbered A to B on the map and on the elevation profile.
Navigate from anywhere — tap Navigation and go to the spot at the map centre, or search a place.
Tracks now have a Navigate button that routes you to the trailhead.
CarPlay: your speed in a dial, altitude in a pill, and the follow camera is your choice — 3D driving or 2D overhead.
A running recording shows a clear red REC indicator — and Dirt Map warns you if a recording never actually started.
Redeem a beta or invite code in the app.

A cleaner map — a route's waypoint pins show only while that route is open.
The map turns with you — recentre toggles north-up and heading-up, and heading-up follows your compass smoothly.
Your position arrow stays put: no wobble, no drifting off-centre, never hidden behind a pin.
While navigating, the map clears to your route so old trip lines don't clutter the view.
Follow-me keeps up at walking pace.
Long recordings in the background are more resilient.
After a trip, you're only asked to rate tracks that match what you were doing.

Crash when dragging a waypoint to reshape a plotted route.
A route showing 0.00 km after a waypoint edit, and a blank sheet after dragging a waypoint.

Smoother and faster, especially with years of trips saved.
