### 4/5 — ダム巡りに10年前から使っています

*2026-08-11*

10年前から旅程の目安に使っています。

ダムによってはどのアプリも住所で検索しても出ないので、地図上で探しています。私にとってはそれもわくわくすることなので、不便さは感じていません。
ルート最適化とポイントからポイントまでの目安の時間の確認に一番使っています。

一回のドライブに7〜8箇所回るので、時間の確認をするときに画面の下部分をちょこまか動かすのが面倒でちょっと残念です。
旅程を全画面で見られるようにして欲しいです。

あと、ルートメーカーに50近くの自分のドライブルートが記録されています。宝物です。アプリ終了だけはしないでください！

### 4/5 — 編集時に現在地が表示されない

*2026-05-06*

裏道好きには最高のアプリです
ただ現在地からのルート作成時や 作成したルートを走行中に新しいルートを発見した時などにその場で再編集しようとすると 現在位置が表示されないのは不便ですね

### 2/5 — App change

*2026-03-09*

I don’t know what has been don’t to this app but I have used it for years and its completely changed

### 4/5 — ツーリングの複数の目的地も一発整理！

*2025-11-02*

ツーリングの予定を立てる際、とても便利です。
　複数の目的地を設定しても、各区間の所要時間や距離がひと目で分かるので、1日でどれくらい走れるかの見通しが立てやすく、計画がスムーズに進みます。
　また、途中で何かトラブルがあっても、時間や距離の目安があるのでありがたいです。

### 5/5 — 長年お世話になっています。

*2025-09-19*

久しぶりに他県ロングツーリングに行くのでロード計画に使わせて貰いました。
目的地は勿論通過点の登録などで細かなルートを作成出来て事前検討にはとても助かっています。

### 4/5 — 助かってます

*2025-09-03*

ポイントを五十音順に並べ替えれたらより良いです。

### 4/5 — ポイント登録は面倒ですが○○巡りに超便利

*2025-05-17*

道の駅巡りの計画にこのアプリを多用しました。おかげさまで計画通り道の駅を制覇することができました。

まずは行きたいところをババッと登録してから行程を組んでいけば、概ねかかる時間を出してくれるので目安として使えます。

これと同じ事を他のアプリでやろうとすると大変なので、とても助かっています。

ただ、現時点の通行止めなどには対応していないので、冬季閉鎖の道を通る場合は要注意です。

今後の更新にも期待しています。

### 5/5 — 最高

*2025-05-15*

仕事で15件位 廻る際、最短ルートを決めるのに 手放せません

### 2/5 — ん？

*2025-04-16*

ワゴン配送の仕事をしているのですが土地勘が無いところを毎日３０〜37件配達で、毎日ルートが変わるのでダウンロードしました。ですが、、試しにその時いた工場で次の3件をそれぞれ住所入力してピン設定すると3箇所とも、その工場にピンが付き、使えずでした。どうすべきですかね？

### 4/5 — けっこう便利なんですがねー

*2025-03-29*

新しく開通した道路を通ってルートを組みたいねんけど、まだアプリ上では開通してなくて組めないので、アップデートを迅速にして頂けたらと思います。
いろいろと忙しいとは存じますが、何卒宜しくお願いします🙇
