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).
• Displaying maps and continuously running GPS in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Navigate without maps or with the screen off for all day battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Essential tool
I have several apps for navigation and route planning and yet it is footpath that I keep coming back too. It’s the app that I use to plan, assess and generate the route whether it is a simple walk around the streets, a bushwalk, bicycle trip, mountain bike ride, kayak or sup.
The app is simple to use; the overlays are fantastic, the ability to save (and sync across devices) and the export of files to other apps or other people just makes it invaluable.
I will admit to using other apps for the actual navigation, so footpath is mainly my planning app, but the tracking and recording of activities are excellent in Footpath. However, I prefer exporting a GPX file to my bicycle computer or watch.
Highly recommend this app, and it's been a very worthy upgrade to the paid version.
A good start
Route planning is relatively straight forward once you work out the quirks (read the how-to guides!). The maps update on Apple Watch makes the app without peer when it comes to map rotation and speed. Leaves Garmins for dead.
My issue is with the cue sheet. There is no way to edit it. If you have added waypoints to a route they end up lost in a sea of turn notifications that you most likely don’t need if you are on an obvious trail/path. The constant haptic and voice alerts on the watch become very distracting if all you want is to know when a waypoint, not a bend in the path, is close. This would be useful when moving quickly (ie running and biking) but isn’t for hiking.
Five stars if they provide a waypoint-only route mode.
Absolutely fantastic
I have been waiting for a route planning app of this caliber and functionality for ages. It is so easy to use. Easy to plot, modify, save and share with other apps. It has a fantastic track function with heaps of useful features and information. No gimmick workouts or other pointless features. Just navigation rich. Love it!😃😃😃😃This is by far the best navigation app available. Love it.
