MyRoute-app
Can I really drag the route line with my finger to customize it?
Yes, the route editor lets you drag the line directly on the map with your finger. For example, you can tap 'avoid highways' and then manually pull the route to a smaller road, and it recalculates instantly. This level of control is rare in free navigation apps.
Does MyRoute-app let me use routes shared by other users?
Absolutely. There's a library of user-shared routes, like the 'Catskills Twisties' for riders. You can import one and tweak the start point or waypoints to match your plans, saving you a lot of time compared to building a route from scratch.
Why does the app freeze or feel sluggish during navigation?
Some users report that switching away from the app and back, especially with complex routes with many waypoints, can cause a freeze for several seconds. The map rendering can also feel slow at times, even on modern phones like a Pixel 7. Restarting the app before a trip or reducing waypoint count may help.
Is the free version usable, or do I need to pay for a subscription?
The free version is quite capable for basic planning, navigation, and accessing community routes. However, features like exporting to specific GPS devices and high-quality offline maps require a Gold or Expert subscription. The app does remind you frequently about paid upgrades.
How does MyRoute-app compare to Google Maps for planning a motorcycle trip?
MyRoute-app gives you much finer control over your route, like dragging the line to avoid main roads, which Google Maps doesn't offer. Google Maps is more polished for real-time traffic and general navigation, but for custom, twisty backroad routes, MyRoute-app is the better tool.
