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).

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.

I downloaded Komoot to plan running routes on my phone and after about 15 minutes of it producing the most absurd routes imaginable, I had to just delete it and try another. Found this app and had accomplished my goal within about 2 minutes. Super intuitive and easy to use. Highly recommend if you're just trying to quickly map a run and estimate distance, elevation, etc.

Pros: Nice interface for route planning IMO. Cons: Can't navigate w/o "elite" version. Can't save or track route, can't even count steps or mileage without an account - too much dependence on the cloud in general for my tastes. This version uses 25MB. Not bad, but most valuable features are unavailable. Map data depicts lakes/ponds in my neighborhood that do not exist. I'm not willing to waste time and money to sign up for account and subscription to try.
