NewRoute app for iPhone and iPad
NewRoute lets you create and keep track of your routes: running, walking, cycling, or driving. Use it to plan where to go, or find out how far you went once you get back.
Create routes by simply tapping where you want to go on the map; NewRoute will draw the route for you, tracing along the closest road or trail.
View street level imagery along the path of your route to help you decide the best way to go.
Track your current location on routes that youve created.
Organize your routes into groups. Sort routes by distance. Easily change the units from miles to kilometers. Edit routes once youve created them.
Backup your routes to iCloud and sync them across all your devices.
Export routes in GPX format. Send pictures of your routes to your friends. Share routes with other NewRoute users through email or AirDrop.
Note: By default NewRoute helps you create routes that are optimized for running or walking. To create routes optimized for cycling or driving, tap the info button when planning a route and select Bike Route or Car Route. Select a Car Route if you would like NewRoute to take advantage of highways when tracing routes. Set your default route type in the NewRoute section of the Settings app.
Pros and cons of NewRoute app for iPhone and iPad
NewRoute app good for
✅ Great simple interface.
✅ iCloud sync.
✅ Route snaps to paths (road or bike paths)
‼️ Eats battery like theres no tomorrow — latest phone so its not like my battery is at end of its life.
Great! Simple to use. The name of the app is actually relevant to what it does. One downside - when trying to rate this app and choosing an already existing user name, your booted out and have to start your review over again. I still gave a 5 star rating because I really do like the app.
It would be nice to create an app like this one but for boat/sail on water...
Thank you very much
Unlike many bloated apps that fail in their attempt to do all things for all people, this app only does one thing but does it extremely well. Highly recommended!
I rarely review apps and decided that this app is worth it. I regularly run and am always trying to find new routes that for for my schedule. This app allows me to plan these route out from home. I am very satisfied with this app and would GLADLY have paid for it. Thank you so much for your work with this app.
Exactly what I was looking for and it was free. Easily map out routes and switch between road/trail following, and not. Works fantastic. Thank you!
Some bad moments
I wanted something where I could draw a static route and see my relative location on a GPS map program. This fit the bill and was easy to use. Well done!!!
I traced a 21 mile route I run weekly and every street, trail, path etc were collected and measured 100% accurately and smoothly!
You can set a perfect route. But once your on the run. There is no way to track where you are. There is no way to start it. Terrible purchase. Dont make the same mistake I did
I started out looking for a map app that would allow me to plan my runs while keeping track of the distance.
This app has all the features I need ABD MORE to find new running paths all over the world. The map database they selected has many walking, running, and hiking trails outlined so they are easy to trace.
I am astounded how well developed the app is considering the lack of reviews. The features work very well including one that will auto trace the roads. I did run into a problem while using that feature in China. It was probably due to the great firewall of that nation.
The reviewer who gave a bad review because the app does not show the GPS location has a point. BUT you can easily export the map into a file format that can be opened by Maprika which will retain both the route and allow for you to track your real location and route.
Excellent value overall. I use it all the time.
This is exactly what Ive been looking for. I can map out my running routes before I hit the pavement! I can figure out distances of runs and even get a street view to check out the neighborhood to see if I really want to be running through it. Easy user interface. Will save routes if youre inclined. Thank you, NewRoute :-)
Does exactly what it says it does.
Easier route editing would be nice, (instead of deleting everything) but it helps me memorize my newly planned route so I dont HAVE TO refer to it mid run.
Thank you, Ill tell my friends!
