Route Heatmap

What it is

Every GPS run you log adds up. The Route Heatmap takes all that history and draws it on one map. Every route you’ve ever run sits on the same canvas. You control the time range, the map style, and what the line color shows.

It’s the closest Kinoku gets to a “look what I built” view. And you don’t have to share anything in public to see it.

What you can do with it

• Filter by time. Show this year, this month, last week, or any range you pick. Handy for “how much new ground did I cover this block?”
• Five map styles. Light, dark, voyager, topographic, and the default Midnight Brass map. Pick the one that fits your mood or your share card.
• Pace coloring. Each part of the line gets a color, from green to red, set against your own range. Fast parts turn green. Slow parts turn red. Hills, intervals, and easy stretches all show up as color shifts.
• Stats panel. Total distance, total elevation gain, how many different routes you ran, time spent on each map style, and how far apart your runs were. All for the time range you picked.
• Shareable snapshot. Save the current view as a share card, with the stats on it. The card matches whatever theme you have on.

What stays private

The map is drawn on your phone, from route points stored on your phone. There’s one exception: the map tiles. Tile images come from CARTO or OpenTopoMap, depending on the style you pick. So the map provider can see which regions you’re loading and your IP address for that request. Your route points never go to Kinoku, and they’re not tied to an account or a workout ID.

The snapshot is made on your phone and saved to your gallery. Nothing is shared on its own. You decide what to do with the image.

Why this is Pro

The single-run map and its pace coloring are FREE. The multi-run overlay, time filter, style picker, and stats panel sit in Pro. The heatmap is a feature you open now and then and sit with for a while. It’s a deep dive, not a daily check-in. Pricing it this way keeps the free run tracking complete.
