This is a small update. Mainly, I’ve updated the routing data. I’ve learned in the past that’s it’s not a good idea to mix old and new data so this release will invalidate any cached data you may already have but once the new data is re-cached, EasyRoute will be as fast as it was […]

It’s been a while since the core routing feature has gotten an update, but EasyRoute 5.6 addresses a few things: Hopefully it’ll work a lot better for everyone. If anything comes up, please contact me.

It was long overdue! One of the oldest parts of EasyRoute has been revamped! New Tricks In addition to looking nicer, it’s got a few new features. Notes The new elevation chart requires iOS or iPadOS 17 as it is built on some components that are only available in the latest releases. In addition to […]

A number of medium and small changes for this release First, when navigating a route, EasyRoute uses a Live Activity. If you have a phone with a Dynamic Island, the live activity will inhabit it if you switch away from EasyRoute. Without the Dynamic Island, it will present a banner similar to a notification and […]

EasyRoute 5.2 is now available on the App Store. The main change is that it includes a totally new watch app that looks and behaves very similarly to the old one. Why a new watch app? Largely because of a technical reason. In short, Apple is prodding us developers along to embrace their newest tech. […]

Recently, I accidentally deleted the wrong route. Fortunately, an old bug made it come right back. Two unintended actions that canceled each other out! I figured I should fix both so I have. I came up with a workaround that seems to fix the problem where sometimes a deleted route would reappear (iCloud would sync […]

Quick note: as mentioned before, there is a compatibility issue with the new version of Mapbox, so old offline data will be invalidated. Now supporting Apple Maps and the return of Google Maps Apple Maps is now the default. When using Google Maps, Google StreetView is (re)integrated into EasyRoute as it had been before I […]

The next major version of EasyRoute is in the late stages of beta. (Contact me if you want to test!) Compatibility Warning The next release of EasyRoute uses Mapbox v10. If you currently have offline data, it is not compatible with the new Mapbox. Hold off on updating or re-download the offline data after the […]

Two notable features in this release. First, the route list is now sortable! This was a widely-requested feature and a little tricky as EasyRoute has always supported custom route ordering by dragging routes up and down the list. I didn’t want to break that but I think I found a nice way to support both. […]

EasyRoute 4.5 is out! There are two new features. First, you can now add directions to imported routes that do not contain routes. These would be routes from GPX files or FIT workout files. It’ll do its best to match the path against known roads and add directions to it. Use the route actions toolbar […]
