Seems good

Seems fine as a walking or running route planner or record, free to use for basic ๐Ÿ‘

Looks promising ๐Ÿ˜‡

Updated 2026/08/16- still a good value!

Hiking - mostly great! But the available maps donโ€™t give all the information one might want. I suspect it is the map repository and not necessarily the app.

Boating - it is fine, but clearly one wouldnโ€™t use it by itself. A proper boating app like orca is needed.

Driving seems to work properly ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Biking- mostly works great. I had an incident where it took me up onto an active gravel pit. Check your route.

From original:
So I havenโ€™t used it a ton yet, but it looks promising and hereโ€™s why:

1- use what ever mode you want - boat, walking bike and car- perhaps more๐Ÿ™ƒ
2- it finds a route by drawing it or selecting a end point - and/or a start point!

What I havenโ€™t quite used or figured out:
- navigation part - the โ€œgoโ€ button
- how well the path for hiking works
- if it is the best route for driving/walking/biking. By best I mean the one that would make sense and be best for what ever mode you choose.

Anyway, it will be interesting to test it out.

Finally, I would add, If it does most of what it offers, then the price point makes it a good value!

Best routing app

This app rocks so hard. As a very insane person who trail runs 50-80 miles a week, I use this app on an almost daily basis. One thing I LOVE about it is how easy it is for o use, export and share routes. One thing I think it has over other apps is you can route a path over terrain that may or may not have trail which is really key if u know there is a trail right on the other side, also great use while traveling when I didnโ€™t download maps when traveling in London. 10/10 HAVE recommended this app to all my runner friends

So simple to use

I use this app to plan new running routes from wherever I am as I travel quite a bit. Itโ€™s so easy to use.

Fantastic app

I use it to plot routes, itโ€™s 95% accurate. Not steered me to far wrong yet.

Great except for drawing the route

The application works beautifully, as advertised. I especially like the turn-by-turn instructions (this can be silenced), and the live tracking on the map. The ability to save routes, and reverse them, is a big plus. This app is made bicycling a lot more interesting.

My only beef is the difficulty drawing a route: connecting a previous segment to the new one that you are drawing โ€“ it can take multiple tries to get it to โ€œtake.โ€œ

It would also be nice to have the route begin recording immediately โ€“ I always forgot to start it. Maybe itโ€™s a preference you could set.

Great app.

Fantastic free app showing all footpaths. If you are a walk leader, itโ€™s invaluable to work out a route and find out the distance involved.

Perfect

My go to app for planning running and cycling routes.

Phenomenal Route Planning App

Use this app very frequently to plan any walks or drives.

Indispensable pour dรฉcouvrir le monde !

Lโ€™outil et les cartes indispensables si vous voyagezโ€ฆ

Running app that makes sense

I love this app and its features. It is easy to tell the routes and where they go and find it clean and easy to understand.

Fantastic app

An absolute fantastic app making it easy to write walks and follow the route. Best walking app on the market

Major roads arenโ€™t footpaths as far as Iโ€™m awareโ€ฆrubbish

Iโ€™ve been using this app for a while, the free version I might add, if you map things little by little itโ€™s ok but if you want to map from here to there it takes you on major roads ๐Ÿคฏ Iโ€™m a runner! I donโ€™t think running down a dual carriageway or motorway is a safe footpath, very disappointing

Navigation

Free

You should make everything free lowk

Simple high q data

Really simple intuitive programme which you can build a plan in seconds.

The BEST

Use this app every day for years to plan out my runs, bike rides, and walks. Amazing to track and add up accurate mileage! Couldnโ€™t recommend it more !!

Easy to use

Works great for measuring and preplanning routes.
