Tips for mapping routes

• For a longer route, 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).

User reviews

It's everything I wanted in a route planner for hiking. Simple and reasonably intuitive. The map itself is very accurate and the GPS accuracy is excellent. (looking at you, google maps....) Being able to draw routes with your finger straight into the app saves having to map on PC and export to phone, although you can do this too. Elevation profile is awesome. Calculates time based on adjustable average speed. These are just free features, I will definitely look into upgrading this awesome app.

Route planning UI recently became awful. Used to auto-snap to the sidewalk (where people run) but now snaps to the middle of the road, with no way to change this. Once a segment snaps into place, it cannot be changed in any way; only deleted.

fantastic walk planning app. create walks starting from wherever you are. Can be a lucky dip in comparison to copying someone else's walk, but more of an adventure.
