Pathways on a phone: a covered walking route across Hong Kong footbridges and indoor links

Live in parts of Hong Kong. Coverage incomplete: not a substitute for official navigation.

Plan for cover, comfort, and access.

Pathways maps the parts of a real walk: covered links, footbridges, indoor corridors.

  • See the covered links

    Covered walkways appear where the map has the data.

  • See how the route connects

    Each segment joins the next: no guessing between buildings.

  • Calculated on your device

    Routes plan locally. Your movement history never reaches us.

Choose your route preferences.

Each mode re-plans on your device where the map has the required data.

  1. Fast

    The shortest walk; covered links optional.

  2. Sheltered

    Prefer covered walkways and footbridges.

  3. Cooled

    Avoid mapped barriers and stairs where possible.
