Route Planner: Directions with Altitude

iOS iPhone

"Route Planner is the best app for planning my bike rides and runs." -- Sean Follmer, cyclist

Route Planner is ideal for planning a bike ride or run, either for exercising or getting around town.

★ View an elevation profile of the entire route -- look out for hills!
★ Add up to 7 intermediate destinations.
★ Drag the pins along the route around to customize where you want to go.
★ Automatically chooses trails and streets suited for your choice of biking, running/walking, or driving.
★ Save routes for later. You can now keep track of your favorite routes without having to re-enter them each time.
★ Straight line, point-to-point directions. Ideal for when the directions service does not work well, such as on unmapped hiking trails.
★ Email routes to yourself or friends. Send a GPX file by email, and open it in a map program or on a dedicated GPS device.
★ List View: Read step-by-step directions, visible at the same time as the map.
★ Demo Video: Watch a 2 minute introduction to Route Planner to get started or get a taste for advanced features.

Cars not excluded! Useful if you are in a car and want to visit multiple destinations, or if you want to tweak your directions.

Made by a runner/cyclist for other runners and cyclists, this is the missing app for planning out your routes.

*** Please use the feedback mechanism in the app to suggest new features or tell us what you would like improved. We love user feedback! ***

What's new

★ List View: Read step-by-step directions, visible at the same time as the map.
★ Demo Video: Watch a 2 minute introduction to Route Planner to get started or get a taste for advanced features.
★ Stability: Fixed a problem causing crashes for some users.
★ Smart rate limiting: Heavy pin editing would sometimes result in going over the elevation service rate limit. We handle this much better now-- you can make over 300% more route edits before hitting the rate limit.
★ Altitude plot scaling: The elevation profile now scales better to plot only the elevation range of the route.
★ Minor bug fixes: climb data was sometimes slightly off, edit view was sometimes finicky.
