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).

Ratings and reviews

Simple, easy to use, does precisely what I hoped it would do. I've gotten a couple of timeout hiccups, but when I zoom in and/or make shorter entries, I have no problem at all. I particularly like that there are in-town trails on this, too, so I can venture off of my streets into a known local path. Altogether a superior product for my uses, which primarily is relatively accurately estimating the length of a walk or run in areas known to me.

The app is OK, not greatest thing but not the worst. We do have the premium version for turn by turn directions. It sometimes will not navigate me correctly when doing repeats around blocks (it cuts me short by one lap). I haven't seen a decent upgrade in over a year where functionalities were added. Would like an option to repeat planned routes. When getting off route it oftentimes takes 30 seconds to send a correction prompt.

(this for free version) Ok app, easy to use and good for tracking runs. My main issue is it will occasionally jump distance, meaning it thinks I've gone further than I did. Several times I'll be about 4 minutes in and it will notify me of my first mile; I'm in decent shape, but not that fast. If that were fixed, or I had to ability to manually edit the data on my runs, I wouldn't care all that much.
