I often felt uneasy when I had to take unfamiliar routes. I worried about getting lost and whether the path I was following was really the one I had memorized. It would be nice to have a GPS device with navigation, but in reality, they are often expensive. So I made this app. This app displays GPS route data created by others or routes generated from map websites, exactly as they are. If your current location is on the route, you are going the right way. Continuously looking at the screen while riding is dangerous, so I recommend checking it only briefly when you are unsure of the route. However, in the current location mode, the screen can be kept on continuously. • If an error occurs, please email the GPX / TCX / KML / KMZ file you are using.
