PlanARoute 6.8.8

PlanARoute is an effective tool designed for users who wish to create or record multi-stop journeys, whether for driving, walking, or cycling. Unlike standard navigation apps that focus solely on point A to point B, PlanARoute offers a comprehensive approach, enabling seamless routing from points A to Z.

This application excels in planning or recording tours and other multi-stop journeys. For users concerned about battery usage while tracking their location, PlanARoute provides an innovative solution: by capturing photos at significant points during your journey, the app can accurately plot them on a map and generate a detailed route that includes addresses, distances, and directions derived from those images.

Included within the app are two example tour routes—New York and Central Park—that effectively showcase its features. Users can easily explore and interact with these example tours to familiarize themselves with the app's functionalities and use them as templates for creating customized routes.
