What Tourello does – and on which device. The Mac is the desk (archive, photos, videos); phone and iPad are your companions on the way (navigation, recording).

Map & offline
| Feature | Android | iPhone/iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six map profiles – hiking, cycling, mountain bike, city, car, ski – each with its own map style | |||
| Download a region once, then everything works without a connection; updates fetch only the changed parts of a file, usually a fraction of the whole; interrupted downloads resume | |||
| Choose regions from a list or on a world map, with the space they need | |||
| Contour lines, hillshading and terrain from the national mapping agencies' elevation models | |||
| Elevation at the crosshair, always top left | |||
| Layers menu: marked routes, points, protected areas, labels and more per profile | |||
| Aerial imagery from national mapping agencies instead of map areas, flat and in 3D | |||
| Slope angle from 30° as a layer (four steps up to over 45°), computed on the device, with legend and the slope at the crosshair – flat and in 3D | |||
| Winter simulation: snow instead of meadows, muted aerial imagery – always on the ski profile, otherwise by a switch | |||
| Own position with heading arrow, speedometer and trail of the last 10 minutes | |||
| Compass; a long press rotates the map with the device ("heading up") | |||
| Detail level (normal / large / very large), night mode | |||
| Notice "No region loaded here" with Download and View online | |||
| Online map (limited): where no region is downloaded, the map shows over the network what the map server has – flat and in 3D, for viewing only; a globe at the top shows it and turns it off; what you have looked at stays on the device for a week and then deletes itself | |||
| Tap marked routes (e.g. Tour du Mont Blanc, Munich–Venice), see length and elevation gain, import as GPX | |||
| Look at a marked route on the map first – without saving, gone when the elevation profile closes | |||
| Light and dark mode following the system |
Languages
| Feature | Android | iPhone/iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| German, English, French, Spanish and Italian – follows the system language, switchable in the settings | |||
| Tour descriptions by language model and the texts in flight videos in the app language | |||
| Video texts in a language other than the app's (button in the flight) |
Planning
| Feature | Android | iPhone/iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route planning on the device with BRouter – offline | |||
| Routing profile follows the map profile; selectable per leg (hiking, MTB, trekking bike, car, ski, straight line) | |||
| Set points (crosshair or click), move them by dragging, undo the last one | |||
| Planning in the 3D view as well ★ rare | |||
| Hiking: limit to T3 or T4 on the SAC scale, so no alpine route slips into your plan by accident | |||
| Elevation profile with gradient colours, difficulty band and walking time from your pace profile | |||
| If the map profile does not suit the tour (a hike on the bike profile), a red glyph shows the right one – one tap switches; on the Mac the map switches by itself when the tour opens | |||
| Turn instructions are stored with the plan | |||
| Round trips: set a new start point | |||
| Time & break planning: day, start, short breaks and rests; arrival against sunset and which start times work; while navigating too – when the route is recalculated, rests no longer on the way are dropped ★ rare |
Recording
| Feature | Android | iPhone/iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Background recording, point interval 1, 2 or 5 minutes (battery friendly) | |||
| Change the point interval while recording | |||
| Pause and resume; nothing is lost after a crash | |||
| Elevation from the terrain model instead of imprecise GPS altitude | |||
| Filters against bad fixes and jumps | |||
| Milestones such as "500 m of climbing left" every 50, 100 or 200 m while recording or navigating – usually on a smartwatch too | |||
| Upload to your storage with name, activity, multi-day tour and description; the local copy is deleted only after a verified upload | |||
| Fill gaps in a recording along the paths when uploading |
3D & flight video
| Feature | Android | iPhone/iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D as a view of the map – planning, tours, points and sun stay in place ★ rare | |||
| Terrain from the downloaded regions, offline | |||
| 3D buildings, names and path network switchable individually | |||
| Lighting from the sun's position in 3D (phone and iPad: in the 3D map, not yet in the flight) | |||
| 3D flight along a tour (1×/2×/4×), your own track flies along ★ rare | |||
| Save the flight as a video, with closing credits for all data sources | |||
| Elevation profile in the video | |||
