Tips for mapping routes • For a longer route, 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).

It is so easy with the press of a finger to plan your route.

It's everything I wanted in a route planner for hiking. Simple and reasonably intuitive. The map itself is very accurate, and the GPS accuracy is excellent. (looking at you, Google Maps....) Being able to draw routes with your finger straight into the app saves having to map on PC and export to phone, although you can do this too. Elevation profile is awesome. Calculates time based on adjustable average speed. These are just free features, I will definitely look into upgrading this awesome app.

Not very helpful. Had it on ios, and it was amazing, however on android it only allows me to plan one route then when I clear it to do another it won't work at all, the only way to fix it is uninstalled then reinstall.

Not good for North Carolina. Recommendations are literally on the main roads without side walks but then again most of USA sucks for walking

Does not do what the ad claims. Draw a pathway, and it absolutely does NOT show the proper trails. It says "Nice trail".
