## What is RouteDraw?

RouteDraw is a utility mobile app suitable for short trip route planning, supporting route drawing, route length/gain/loss calculation, time estimation, GPS positioning, compass, track logging, deviation alert, offline maps, and etc. Of course, the main function is route drawing, you can draw a route along a way easily by moving your finger over the map. RouteDraw should be very useful to you, if you like to plan your route before your trip.

Based on the Mapbox mapping services, the route drawing function should work on all places on the Earth besides the poles. But note that the drawing logic is based on the map display data, which is simplified and does not preserve junction info. Therefore, if you draw while zoomed out, the route will have a higher degree of simplification. And whether two ways are connected is based on estimation, and therefore may not be correct. Also, a map object may show slightly different coordinates at different zoom levels.

You can pay for one-time purchase or annual subscription to unlock the trial features or remove the ads in the app.

### 4/5 — 还行吧

*2026-04-16*

就是不能显示我那个站点

**Developer response:** 你好，你的意思是不是指某些地方地图资料较少？程式内的地图资料是来自 OpenStreetMap ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/ )，OpenStreetMap 的资料依赖世界各地的自愿者自发更新。如某些地方较少人参与更新，地图资料就可能较少。

### 5/5 — 可以
