A Real Run App

There are few running app’s that you can CREATE a run! I like creating runs so I can check out the terrain, particularly elevation gains. I can increase elevations as I get in better shape.

Enjoying Footpath for my morning bike rides.

Footpath delivers well on all of its promises and features. Occasionally drawing a path does not always snap to the desired path or road, and editing a route is a little unpredictable. I wish it had a feature to reverse a route automatically without redrawing it. Never received a reply when attempting email support.

Rediculous doesn’t use layer correctly…

Based in the UK, I chose the Footpath to make a route using hiking paths that are normally used by the ordinance survey in the UK. Each time I rooted to a point on the map it took me along the roads and ignored all the paths the layer was actually indicating that were available. I’ve cancelled the subscription even though it was a free trial…

Great idea

But it keeps deleting my paths

The best map data

I use this app for all of my travel planning. It shows footpaths that arent on other maps and is excellent for navigation. Simple to use and reliable.
