Plan a running, biking, or hiking route, and add checkpoints along the way! Set a goal time and the app will automatically calculate when you need to be at each checkpoint, and the distance to each checkpoint. Pins can be dragged on long press to update route, and deleted or turned into checkpoints by tapping on the pin. Routes can be saved/loaded, and will save checkpoint/goal time data.
