EasyRoute 4.3 – Folders!

It seems like everyone has been asking about it and now they’re finally here — folders! This is something I attempted a few times over the years, but it always turned into a big messy set of changes that I would put aside and ultimately abandon. This time, I came up with a simpler plan […]

EasyRoute 4.2 – Watch Stuff and Offline Mode

I had some fun making stuff for EasyRoute over the winter. This release gets all that out. Route Scheduling This is an Apple Watch focused feature I used to assist me in marathon training.

EasyRoute 4.10 – Sweet Watch Navigation and Ride with GPS

Improved Apple Watch Navigation Ok, so I got a little bit lost with EasyRoute while going for a run in Atlanta. A little embarrassing, I admit, but something nice came out of it. I was out early and the sun was not yet up. I was in a quiet neighborhood but it was still a […]

EasyRoute 2.10 – Switched to Mapbox

As I mentioned last time, EasyRoute would shortly be changing its maps and data source to Mapbox and now, that moment has arrived. Everything is intended to work as it did before (with one big exception) but there are some places where the generated route is different than before. I am still finding ways to […]

EasyRoute 2.9 and the plan going forward

EasyRoute 2.9 is out. Here is a rundown of what’s new: Ads Back in December, I removed the $0.99 price tag on EasyRoute. I did this for a few reasons, but in the end, I enjoyed setting it free more than the slow trickle of revenue it produced when it was $0.99. However, it became […]
