How do I create an “Out and Back” route on the HiiKER planner?

Yes. Plot the outward half of your walk, then use Out and back: the planner adds a return leg that follows the same path back to where you started.

On iPhone and Android

  1. In the Hike Planner, plot your outward route. You need at least two points.
  2. Tap More at the bottom of the planner.
  3. Tap Out and back (on Android: Out and Back).

On the website

  1. In the planner at hiiker.app, plot your outward route.
  2. In the Actions panel, under Route options, click the Out and Back button (the return-arrow icon).

The return leg is added to the same route, so the distance, ascent and estimated time include the walk back. Want to come back a different way? Use Loop route (on the website: Loop) instead, which returns you to the start on the shortest known path.
