About these screenshots

Your destination is only part of the forecast.

01 Before you leave

Your route.
Your forecast.

See what to expect at each passing time. Scan the weather table, open the details for any place, and adjust the trip to your plans.

Your route, travel choices and timing belong together. Change them in Trip plan and apply them when you’re ready.

02 Along the road

Keep the forecast
in view.

Open the weather table during a trip, preview a place ahead, then return to your live position.

In Sweden, road reports and cameras add context where covered. Open a report for its location and source while parked, or let a passenger take a closer look.

Apple Maps handles the turns.

Open your next leg in Apple Maps for navigation. It calculates its own route, which may differ from the Along Cast plan.

03 Keep in touch

Your journey.
One simple link.

Send the route and its weather to someone who’s waiting for you. They can open it in a browser, without installing the app.

Live location is a separate choice. Turn it on when you want to share progress, and stop it when you’re done.

You decide what to share.

Anyone with the link can open it. Links expire and can be revoked; precise endpoints are obscured.

Good to know.

How do I change a trip?

Open Trip plan to change the route, travel settings or timing. Choose Now, Leave at or Arrive by, then tap Update trip. These choices apply to this trip; set your usual travel choices in Settings.

What does the weather table show?

Places along your route and their estimated passing times, with temperature, forecast symbols, rain chance, precipitation rate, wind direction and gusts. Open a row for full weather details. The table is available before you leave and from the trip view.

Where can I use Along Cast?

Route planning and forecasts depend on Apple Maps and weather coverage for your journey. Trafikverket road reports and cameras, and SMHI warnings, cover Sweden where available. Missing reports do not mean a road is clear.

Does it replace Apple Maps?

Along Cast helps you plan around the weather and see conditions along the route. Apple Maps handles turn-by-turn navigation and calculates its own route for the next leg.

What do I need?

An iPhone running iOS 26 or later, Apple’s TestFlight app, and an internet connection to fetch routes and forecasts. You can choose endpoints yourself; location permission is needed to use your current position and follow a trip.

Is the beta free?

Yes. The current TestFlight beta is free, and features may change between builds. The beta guide explains how to install and send feedback.

Will it automatically alert me before a trip?

Departure reminders and condition monitoring are separate. Automatic condition checks depend on service availability and a separate opt-in. Check the upcoming-trip card for the latest status; an upcoming trip alone does not mean monitoring is active.

Is my location shared automatically?

No. Creating a journey link and enabling live location are separate actions you choose. You can stop live sharing or revoke the link. Read the privacy details.
