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).

My first introduction to Footpath was using it to create 2 weeks worth of walking tours around London. It worked so well! I adopted it when I decided to start running. I enter the route before each race and in the last fun run I did, I was the only one from my group that didn't get lost. I'm still learning new ways to use it and am currently playing around with importing and exporting routes. Great app. Thank you!

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.

This is exactly what I had hoped for in an app. I paddle in the middle of nowhere so to speak and I am not only new to this area but 68yrs old. I do carry a phone with a tracker turned on but I've been afraid to venture upstream to who know where. Knowing how much farther a bridge may be or some kind of progress as I venture forward is invaluable. this app is perfect and so easy to use! I love it!
