Trail Router

I love the idea of this however the route planning is bad. You can’t use decimals and the suggested lengths are not “normal” running lengths ie. 3.1, 6.2, 13.1 etc. Many routes it comes up with are no where near the length you chose. I searched for a 9 mile route and I was getting 15-20 mile routes. Only 3 were near the 9 miles requested. The routes have me crossing over major roads where there is no crosswalk. One road has traffic going 50+ mph 4 lanes wide and the app wants me to cross that. I would love this app if the routing were better and if I could edit the suggested route to avoid roads I know are unsafe to cross.

Thank you for making this!

Hi, Is there a way to mark streets as unsafe? Also, would it be possible to add a decimal for custom length options? I tried to enter 2.5 miles but don’t see a way to do so. Thanks!

Navigation is so laggy and misleads lots of the time voice narrator doesn’t work and the “running routes” have you going across busy highways and intersections. Yikes

Do people still say that? Haha. I’m about to recommend everyone on facebook running pages this app. I’ve been trying to get back into running but creating my own route with an estimate on distance and this is the one. No hidden fees or annoying ads. I’ve already created so many different routes that I can run on and i’m super excited. Highly recommend!!

Excellent app. The UI/UX is simple, easy to learn and adapt to. The web page is also easy to use for mapping your own routes. I’ve found when executing the route, it randomly “pause”, usually when I lock my phone screen. When re-open the app, it would ask to “resume” the route, but I’ve gone further already. The turn-by-turn nav would be a great feature, but also rarely work. I want to request new feature that let the user manually add a turn prompt on the planned route. Example: at way point 2, an option to add a prompt to turn left, right, or keep straight.

I’d like to thank the developer for this amazing app!

Thank you for taking the time to make it 😊

Trail Router is my go to resource for exploring trails and paths that will make for the most enjoyable run. The interface is intuitive and easy to use.

This app is extremely useful to find good places to run in a new area. It found all my local routes straight away!
