TIPS FOR MAPPING ROUTES • For longer routes, try zooming in and mapping your route in multiple segments. • Tap and hold the map to quickly route between waypoints and POIs. • Did Footpath snap to the wrong roads? Trace over the incorrect segment to edit, or use the eraser tool. • Turn off snap to roads (magnet icon) and zoom in to manually trace the map. (Try switching to a satellite layer). • Displaying maps and continuously running GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Navigate without maps or with the screen off for all day battery life. CONTACT US We've got a lot planned for Footpath.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Proyecto M28 at none against Footpath Route Planner's 3. Proyecto M28 also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Footpath Route Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
