Roadbook '71
Read full descriptionHide full description
Roadbook '71 turns a recorded GPX loop into a 1970s rally co-driver's roadbook - and then drives it with you. Import any GPX track and the app matches it to real roads, builds turn-by-turn guidance, and draws every junction as a hand-inked "tulip" diagram computed from your own recording. Join a loop at the point nearest you, drive the full circle, and arrive back where you joined. Stop for lunch and continue later - the book keeps your place. - Turn-by-turn voice and on-screen guidance along your recorded route - Tulip junction diagrams parsed from the track itself - dot in, arrow out - Loop-aware: join anywhere, the route wraps around - Progress inked onto both the route and your original recording - Interrupt and continue a drive, days later, from wherever you are - Day pages in paper and ink; night pages lit like a map light over leather - Export the drive you actually made as a new GPX Built for slow roads, open tops, and routes worth driving twice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roadbook '71 at none against Instaroad's 2. Roadbook '71 also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Instaroad's advantage is iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
