Unlike conventional navigation solutions, ROADS focuses on discovering particularly attractive routes.

With the integrated GPS navigation from Mapbox, the route can be driven directly with ROADS. And thanks to Apple CarPlay, it can be used in the onboard system of your compatible vehicle at any time.

Ratings and Reviews
Feature request - Apple CarPlay integration
Love the app! Would love it more if I could navigate while I have my phone connected to Apple Carplay.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your nice feedback. One of the next updates is going to have CarPlay in the focus and this will be part of it. Stay tuned and see you on the road! // Update: We have just published a version with a completely new CarPlay integration. This should solve your issue. Please check it out.

Nice to find new routes, but when configuring new routes, make the time shorter. Like 30 min routes.
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your positive feedback. Cool that you like ROADS. Have you seen that you can select the desired drive time when generating a new route? Simply select the maximum time and ROADS will come up with a suitable trip length.
Powerful App
Roads is not the most intuitive app, but once I figured out the nuances, it is quite powerful. I host two driving tours per year for our UCR region, our current president asked if there was a way to provide participants with voice, turn-by-turn directions. Roads does this fairly well and I will be advocating for its use by tour hosts. I use maps.ie to create custom routes on my phone, then save them as a gpx file. I’ll then open Roads and upload the file, the route creates in seconds, the details of which (Route name, description, share status, etc.) are easily editable. Being able to offer this type of support to our driving tours, which are extremely popular, will reduce the number of wrong turns, making tours more efficient and enjoyable for the participants, not to mention leaders and sweeps.
Two improvements I’d like to see- first, if you happen to miss a turn, Roads doesn’t take you back to where you deviated. The app seems to be as lost at this point as you now are. Second, navigating to certain areas are not very intuitive. For example, when opening a Group, you are taken to the page where notes are posted. You have to click the three dots in the upper right, then select About This Group to be taken the main page for the Group.
Overall though, great app. Thank you Porsche!

Thank you for your comprehensive review. We will take a look at the improvements that you have raised and will implement them during the upcoming updates. // Update: we have just published a version with improved navigation. This should solve the re-routing issue, e.g. when missing a turn. Please update the app and try again.
