RunRoute vs Runplanner

RunRoute helps you plan runs in seconds. Drop points on the map, snap your path to real roads, and preview distance and elevation before you lace up. Key features: • Draw routes fast: tap to place waypoints and shape your run. • Snap to roads: clean up your line with road‑aware routing. • Elevation insights: view elevation gain and a profile chart. • Out‑and‑back mode: turn any route into a return trip. • Search locations: start anywhere with built‑in map search. • Save favorites: store routes on your device and revisit anytime. Privacy first: • No account required. • Saved routes stay on your device. • Location is used only to show your position on the map. • Elevation data is requested from a third‑party service when you use “Snap to roads.”

Most running route planners draw a straight line between two points and call it a route. Runplanner snaps to real roads, footpaths and cycleways, so what you plan is what you actually run. Tap waypoints on the map and Runplanner builds a route along the streets and trails that are really there. You see your true distance, a proper elevation profile and a breakdown of the surfaces you'll be running on, before you leave the house. No account, no ads. TRAFFIC LIGHT DETECTION Runplanner detects traffic lights along your route and shows them on the map. Know exactly where your natural pause points are, which is useful for intervals, tempo runs, or planning a route where you won't be stuck waiting at every crossing. ROUNDTRIP GENERATOR Tell Runplanner how far you want to run and it builds a loop back to your starting point. Ideal for training days when you want a distance, not a destination. RUNNER-FIRST ROUTING Footpaths and cycleways take priority over busy car roads. Surface awareness tells you whether you're heading onto tarmac, gravel or trail. No surprises. TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION Start your run and follow along live: street names, turn directions and an alert the moment you go off-route. SCHEDULE YOUR RUNS Plan future runs in the built-in calendar and get a notification on the day. Route planner and training calendar in one. WORKOUT PLANS Build structured sessions directly on your route, from warm-up through intervals to cool-down, with custom pace zones for each segment. WEATHER CHECK See the forecast before you head out. Know whether to bring a jacket before you've laced up. ROUTE METRICS Distance, estimated duration, pace, elevation and road type breakdown update in real time while you plan. GPX IMPORT AND EXPORT Export any route as a GPX file for your running watch or training platform. Import existing GPX files with one tap. SHARE ROUTES Share routes with friends via QR code or link. They scan, you both run the same route. GEAR TRACKING Log which shoes you ran in and track mileage per pair, so you know when it's time to replace them. PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No ads. Your routes and activities are stored locally on your device with AES-256 encryption. We don't track you, sell your data or push you toward a premium tier.
