What's New in Pleasant Routes

2.5

September 7, 2026

Saved trips now follow you. Sign in and your saved trips sync to your account across devices — and you can rename them. Faster, steadier searches. Pleasant no longer hangs when map servers are slow or unreachable, long searches stop timing out on the phone, and busy areas load without re-fetching the same map data. Better routes. No more being sent down a road and straight back, and a looping route that could resurface on the map is fixed. Location fixes. Go works even before a GPS fix, and location recovers after the app has been in the background. Map polish. Pins stop blinking, switching Drive/Bike clears the old map, and the Google route line comes back reliably. Plus: signing in to save a trip keeps the trip; "Why this route?" now sees the whole route; a fix for a blank screen after an app update; crash fixes.

Great idea!

This app is a refreshing alternative to Waze and Google Maps. I love that it prioritizes a more enjoyable driving experience over the fastest route. I am excited to use it on my weekend drives through the back country. What a great idea!

Thank you so much! I hope it helps you have some great weekend drives!

The kinks have been worked out!

It is so nice having this app when I’m on my hot girl walks. I live in nyc, so I walk the same streets everyday but Pleasant opened up so much more of the city for me. Who knew there was so much nature here!?

The navigation is fine but CarPlay would be an immense improvement and earn 5*
