- Navigation can run in background, with headphones or alternatively with display always on.

- The Voice Assistant supports you in handling this app and during a navigation.

- Recorder function to find the right way without a preloaded route and to save the completed track for later.

- Enter a coordinate (latitude/longitude) to navigate to a specific location.

- Many useful features like altitude profile, auto gpx interpretation, individual display settings, landscape and portrait mode, picture in picture navigation, geocaching, dark mode and much more…

Whether hiking, biking, skiing or other outdoor activities ... with Routes you will never lose the right path! Routes allows you to load your own planned or otherwise provided routes from your favorite portals such as Goolge, AllTrails (Gpsies), Polar, Garmin (and many others). Routes supports the file formats GPX and KML. After opening a file in Routes, you can start a simulation or start navigating directly. In any case, Routes guides you along the track. If you ever lose the track, Routes will notify you visually and by alarm. It is not necessary to always keep an eye on the display. You can concentrate fully on your route and enjoy the beautiful things on it.

Ratings and reviews

While this app does read KML files and will show the KML route you created on its map, it unfortunately will not give you turn-by-turn directions. It will chime when you have gone off course, but it will not speak out loud and say "turn left" or "turn right" etc which is most unfortunate. Because of this flaw, I would not recommend this app to anyone who wants to use it while driving a motorized vehicle.

It is GREAT to have a free navigation gation app for running! It works pretty well...I appreciate the alerts for upcoming turns and will look at the settings for alerts that can be turned on or off. I did keep getting alerts that I was off the route when I wasn't. I also kept getting a little tinkle noise with some unclear speech saying something about 50 meters. In a four mile run, that noise happened about 8 times. Looking forward to updates, but love this app!

Nice, but the level of unrecognized turns in GPX was unacceptable. I tried untouched GPX and cleaned up with gpx.studio GPX. In both cases 40-50% of the turns were not recognized. Two quick 90 degree turns one after another were never recognized. I played with the settings without success. I would suggest manually inserted points to be taken as turns with 5 options to choose from: left, slightly left, keep straight, slightly right, right. It's easy to spot a missing turn on the map and fix it.
