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.

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
Dymmas
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.
Great app - could be better with projected route duration.
Robert_Cam
Great app, just missing e-scooters as a transport option. The app already calculates the distance using roads, footpaths and bikeways, it would be great if the app could calculate the likely duration based on the mode of transport. For e-scooters by having the user set their average speed for footpaths, roads and bikeways in ‘settings’, calculating the approx. duration could be relatively easily achieved. Of course this would apply equally for bikes, skates, etc. also.
Good app minor issues
N/A_anon
This is a good app to map out runs but be aware that despite the name it doesn’t map footpaths very well, it maps roads. You can get it to map out footpaths but only by turning off the snap to map feature and you will need to draw out the entire run which is tedious and time consuming. I’d say for shorter distances this is fine but note that when mapping out longer runs you’ll lose distance precision slightly. Still a good app!
