EasyRoute 4.4 – Improved iPad Support
Split Screen EasyRoute now supports split screen on the iPad! I’ve wanted to do this for quite some time and it’s finally here! EasyRoute began life during the iOS 5 era so when the project was set up, it was set up for a very different Apple ecosystem. There was a lot to update and […]

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. I had to add some detours and excursions to my normal running routes to make the day’s prescribed distance on the […]

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 4
A major change in the app means a major change in the version number, so here we are, version 4.0! The Short Story First, rather than query Mapbox for data over and over again as you tap and build your route, EasyRoute now goes and fetches chunks of route and elevation data as needed and […]

EasyRoute and iOS 13
I figured I should address this as it is becoming a big problem. iOS 13 largely breaks file sharing between apps. This means when you export your route as a GPX or FIT for consumption by Wahoo or Garmin apps, they might not show up as open-in options. This seems to be a widespread problem […]

A bit of a random release. I just wanted to release a few things that were ready to go. A Setup Process There is a new a setup/welcome prompt that takes you through some settings that might be easily missed. If you’ve been using the app, think of it as a tune-up. Otherwise, it should […]

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 […]
