Map
Watch your square grow
Every ride from Strava, a GPX/FIT file or the app turns into claimed tiles. Pick years, switch to “Whole collection” and replay the season day by day on the timeline.

Claim the map, tile by tile.
Your watch taps your wrist on every new tile, and your iPhone shows your square growing. Connect Strava or upload GPX/FIT — Gridhunt turns every ride and run into claimed tiles, and the planner routes you to the missing ones.

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to your first tiles
Connect or upload
Sign in with Strava or upload GPX, FIT or ZIP files. You can also connect komoot and Wahoo.
Ride and collect
Your whole history turns into tiles, usually within minutes. Every new ride adds more.
Grow your square
The planner points out the missing tiles and the route planner builds a loop that collects them.
WHAT GRIDHUNT DOES
Your tile map and your square
Real app screens. Demo rider data: New York City area.
PLANNING
First the square, then the route
Two planners work together: one tells you which tiles are missing, the other builds a route that collects them.
The planner shows which tiles you miss
Click a spot on the map and Gridhunt finds the biggest square you can build there. It skips military areas, enclosures and water, then lists the tiles that block you — and how much each one would grow the square.
Routes that collect the most new tiles
Draw an area, set a distance budget and bike profile. The planner builds a loop on real roads, adds detours for missing tiles and exports GPX for your Garmin or watch.
SQUARE PLANNER
Know your enemy
Lakes, military zones, fences. Gridhunt shows exactly which tiles block your Big Square and routes you straight to them.
- Numbered enemies on the map: you know where to start.
- Each one with a verdict: “+1 → 24×24” or “works as a team”.
- Actually rideable? One tap and the planner recalculates.
Blockers get numbers. You get a plan.
SEASON
Every season in numbers
Visited and new tiles, the square of the year, your biggest cluster and goal progress — compared with previous seasons.
Hunt reels
Your season as a reel — live
This is not a recording. Below runs the same engine that makes 9:16 reels in the app.
Seasons week by week: every new tile flashes, and the biggest square shows up at the end.
Demo data: New York City area — a fictional rider, with rides routed on real roads (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Your reel is made from your rides and saves as an MP4 ready for Stories.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tile?
The world map is split into a grid of squares (zoom level 14, the same as other tile tools). A tile is yours once you ride or run through it. A tile is about 1.4 to 2 km across, depending on latitude.
Do I need Strava?
No. You can upload GPX, FIT or ZIP files, connect komoot or Wahoo, or record rides in the iPhone app. Strava is simply the fastest.
How long does the history import take?
Recent rides show up right away and the full history usually within minutes. With thousands of Strava activities it can take a few hours, because Strava limits the number of requests.
Where can I see tiles live?
Free on iPhone and Apple Watch in the Gridhunt app (coming soon to the App Store). With Premium also on Garmin and Hammerhead Karoo devices, plus navigation along a planned route.
What happens to my data?
Only you see your routes and targets. The leaderboard and friends only work once you turn them on. You can disconnect Strava at any time and delete your account in settings.
