Description:Headed out for some exercise? Use EasyRoute to plan your route by simply tapping where you want to go. It will follow roads while also providing the freedom to route directly where you touch.
EasyRoute was written by a runner looking for a quick and easy way to plan routes using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Designed to be easy to use, you are never more than one touch away from viewing, adding or editing a route.
During creation of EasyRoute, the author used this program to:
• Plan running routes before leaving the house. If a park was closed or a road was blocked, could the same mileage be covered by taking a different road or path?
• Use Street View to ensure there is a safe sidewalk or shoulder before running along a busy street.
• Figure out the distance of a walk to grandma's (and how much farther to avoid the Big Bad Wolf).
• While traveling, to figure out where to run in order cover a desired distance.
In case you're not convinced by now, here is a quick rundown of the features that make EasyRoute awesome:
- Create a route by following roads or routing directly to where you touch.
- Easy to undo so you can try varying paths.
- Tap the elevation button to expand the elevation graph.
- Long tap on a road to look around with Street View.
- Import and export GPX files directly to and from other apps.
- Share routes with other users using AirDrop or e-mail. (AirDrop requires iOS 7 and a compatible device.)
- Route can be reversed, made into an "out and back" or be routed back to start.
- Displays distance in kilometers or miles.
- Save as many routes as your device can hold. (That is probably a LOT of routes.)
- No login is required nor does it bug you to sign up for anything.
- No ads to get in the way.
- Sharp Retina graphics.
- Utilizes larger 4-inch screen.
- Universal iPhone/iPad app.
Just to be clear, this app does NOT record routes based on your movement or give you directions. (If you want these features, let me know!)
There are still many more tweaks, improvements, features and enhancements planned.
Thanks for reading this far down and considering this little app.
