Footpath Route Planner 应用的评论

I’ve been using Footpath for several years. Great way to map out adventure bike routes for my Garmin GPS. Also easy to use on the fly to make any desired changes along the way. So glad I stumbled across this and have shared it with many.

It’s missing a couple obvious features; the ability to reverse the route without replotting it completely is the biggest missing thing.

I do a lot of trail running but I’m cheap so I was wary to pay for this, but it’s worth it. Overall it’s a great app for planning ad hoc routes and getting turn by turn in your headphones. I’m away from home for a few months so training in unfamiliar territory and the app has been indispensable. I tap out a route to get the mileage right and manage elevation profile ahead of time, save it, and download the offline map and run with the directions in my headphones the next day. I love the ability to edit routes, upload maps from other platforms, etc. the turn by turn is 95% good. The warnings when getting off route are timely, but sometimes the stated direction for recovering seems unreliable—better to just open the map view if you have a shadow of doubt about getting back on the route. I have noticed distance discrepancy with this app vs AllTrails vs Apple Fitness when I’m on routes that have a lot of elevation changes. I often run all three apps out of curiosity. In one case AllTrails and Footpath estimates differed by more than 0.6 mi on a 10 mile trail run—Footpath usually seems to be the shorter estimate when I’ve noticed it.

This app is the best when it comes to route planning and creation. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much health and fitness data was gathered during my activities using the Footpath app on my Apple Watch Ultra 2. More data then was acquired with other apps that were supposed to be more performance oriented. The only drawbacks I’ve found is you cannot share to Strava and there isn’t really a social aspect to the Footpath app. I use this app as primarily a planner, a place to keep my routes organized, and as a navigation tool. If I want my activity to be private then I record with Footpath (it’s quite good for that as well). If I’m going public and sharing to Strava I use WorkOutDoors. Excellent app! Thanks for the quality experience from Apple Watch to iPhone to IPad even!

I’ve been using Footpath for over 10 years now. Mainly for planning running and hiking routes. And more than once it’s helped me find my way out of the woods when I got turned around. It’s the best app I’ve ever had on my phone. Thanks!

I’ve been using it for years to map my runs even when I travel (US, Spain, Portugal). Love that it gives me the elevation and measurements are exact and always match my Nike run app.

How do you end a hike?

I use it primarily for MTB off trails. Ride once, import GPX from recorded bike run in Apple Watch, and then add my own waypoints so I know where to turn next time. Eyes on the single track, let the watch tell me where to go! Also switching to the map on the watch is great. Post review of effort on the iPhone is great. I’ve also used this on proper trails. Fantastic overall, great developer support - I ran into a snap that was fixed. Highly recommend to anyone for hiking or biking!

I’ve used the full paid version of this app for several years now. It works so much better than all the others that I’ve tried. The only thing I would change is that it shows the time that the sun sets. I’d rather know the ETA.

This app is exactly what I was looking for to track miles walked. It also helps identify trails and paths that I didn't know existed. It is simple and dependable. Just right.

Testing out the unpaid version and so far this looks like a winner. I plan to purchase the Elite option to get the better watch experience. Any chance of a dark icon? The current icon sticks out like a sore thumb on my phone screen.

I try this app every few months and I have yet to get offline maps. I’m not even going to risk hiking without an offline map.

I was looking for an app to plan my walks. This app has all the features I wanted and needed in 1 app. After trying several others and then finding this one, it’s perfect!

This app is a blessing!!amaIng App

App claims to select routes using trails and roads. I have tried to get it to use the trails and footpaths but it won’t.

In cities or countryside, Footpath has never let me down. I use it constantly to discover and then map out my walking routes! This is one of the few apps I pay for, because I use it enough to make it worth it!

I’ve been using the Elite version for years and am overdue praising this app. The options on map layers are numerous. Footpath Topo and OpenCycle are my personal faves. I was impressed by how fast a new conservation are in my area got fully mapped. Next step for me is trying out the waypoint features

Good Route

I use this app daily to plan routes or check out ones I’ve previously logged for running, hiking, or just walking the dog. It’s so easy to export them to the WorkOutDoors app or just to track your progress on this app by itself. I can’t imagine life without this app now

Really easy to use.

This is a great solution to planning running routes including off road trail sections.

The gps is horrible. Just use google maps and have arrows. Come on man.

I am very happy with this app. I like the elevation graph. I walk in the Pennsylvania mountains and this feature really illustrates the changes in elevation.

Traveling to unfamiliar places, I’ve used Footpath to discover awesome routes! I’m no longer confined to the hotel treadmill! 😎

Fantastic app. Great UI. Incredibly well-done.

Love using this app. Only thing that I miss is that it doesn’t let you track your steps.

I always buy apps, but I don’t like subscriptions it’s greedy stinky so you guys go away without my money and attention

With downloadable offline mapping, climb tracking, and multiple ways to create and import routes, this is THE BEST app for the Apple Watch for hiking. Put it in low power mode and you’ll have 12-18 hours of battery life.

I’m using this app for hiking and memory keeping for time spent in health recovery after cancer surgery. The record keeping is giving me peace and the app is very friendly to use.

This app was exactly what I need to layout routes for my runs of varying distances. Very clear maps and ease of use makes it so user friendly.

Started out strong, but multiple contacts to support for simple questions went unanswered. Too bad, as it would otherwise be a terrific solution.

Great

I have paid for and used about all of them for creating a route and adjusting on the fly but, this is the one. Only this app, not OSM, not Naviki, no Guru Mape, not Here, not Garmin, not Google, not Apple… and probably some others I am forgetting do what this app can do and is what I went through all the other apps looking for. At least in the USA only this app easily allows you to connect dedicated bike paths by simply clicking on the OpenCycleMap where you want to go. When you have to venture away from your planned route its interface makes that effortless. Draw with your finger and it will snap to the road and favor bike friendly. If the app snaps to something that you don’t want, click on the eraser until and draw that segment against. So on the side of the road or trail you can create a new plan in less than a minute. Here is the second best thing. It has unrivaled import and export features. More formats and more options to share.

Excellent app with great interface! Easily chart out routes!

This app keeps me going. Best running interface that perfectly dials in the MyZone pop ups!

A lot of work to improve an already useful app. Great support, always looking for new useful features! Respond quickly to questions and comments.

I love how I can map my route either before I go or after I get back. This is the best app I have ever used.

It’s a pretty good route planner. But my one complaint, is that when I set it to ‘Walking’ it defaults to me walking down the center of the street instead of the sidewalk. I NEVER walk down the center of the street. I wish that when I say I’m walking, the app would I am walking on the sidewalk. Like a normal human.

make it a shoe or something else

i’ve had this for a few years now. used it for numerous hikes in the collegiates, holy cross, and elk range, here in central colorado mountains. no social networking, photos or other geegaws. great for getting distance, course and elevation gain/loss. perfect substitute for planning. better for me than USGS hard copy topos or nat geo. i may take a hard copy map if i’m navigating off trail, and for tracking on the route i use gaia, but for planning this app is the bomb.

Best app ever

I do wish we could change the alerts to be a little bit before the turns, like 500’ beforehand so we can be prepared and not right on the roadway. Also be nice if we could have the option to have split times at the half mile with more run data such as current elevation gain, average mph, etc.. Overall one of the better turn by turn run navigation systems on the market.

Great app. Drawing by finger takes a few tries but it works well. Really good UI.

Have had this app for about a month and have used it and was quite pleased with it during the free trial. The turn by turn navigation was fantastic as was the route planning. Battery life seemed reasonable while using the app. Everything lined up and I decided to get the subscription. Just days into the subscription it started to be harder to draw routes and especially edit them. Still workable. Then it started to really get whacky when I tried to add even a few hundred feet to a trail. It would make it loop around the whole park and add miles often as the crow flies over terrain and across water. Then the footpaths/trails disappeared all-together. Trails do not even show in most cases. Completely breaking the entire functionality. I was looking at a specific trail and making a route, reopened the app later in the day to finish and the trail had disappeared. I started looking around and all the trails had disappeared in all of the state parks and national forests even. Only paved paths show, and I cannot even map routes on those. The actual lines that used to show trails are gone. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I restarted it. I emailed the developer days ago. Nothing. I will update this if it gets fixed. But, it is broken as it stands.

I am a 50+ woman who’s in pretty good shape, but desire to be healthier. The Footpath app makes it easier for me to determine what routes in my community that will hit and/or exceed my target. Two Thumbs Up!

Integration with Apple fitness and Apple Watch is excellent. I love that I can draw a path in the map with my finger and the route snaps to the path

Like Google, it’s going to default to the most efficient route from point A to B. It’s very difficult customize the route. When I tried dragging and dropping, it instead added a loop. Deleted the app and will look for something else.

If you’re like me, you enjoy running and you enjoy traveling. But if you’re also like me, traveling to a new city can make route planning difficult. Enter Footpath. My favorite thing to do is search for running routes on Great Runs, download the .gpx file from Map My Run, and upload it to Footpath. If the route is too long, it’s easy to drag and drop part of the route on your computer. The turn-by-turn instructions ensure you won’t get lost, and it’s not intrusive to music.

I’ve been raving about this app for years to anyone who would listen. Its route planning functionality is magical, I use it for biking, running, hiking, canoeing, even sea kayaking. Recently upgraded to elite and just finished my first ride with active cue sheets, which was a revelation. Can’t say enough good things about it, kudos to the developers.
