Pros and cons of Routes; Maps and Places app for iPhone and iPad

Routes; Maps and Places app good for

Add please: 1. The ability to sort events by date or by hand within days. 2. Add a function of building the road route between the coordinates of the events, depending on the movement of transport (road, foot). 3. Add the automatic calculation of distances and time between the points of events. 4. Add a calculation of fuel consumption, taking into account movements in the car. 5. Make a planning assistant: I choose the city or address of a finger on the map, the program calculates the distance and time between them. It is also necessary to estimate consumption of gasoline in liters and money. 6. If the between points, I add other events such as dinner, walks, dinner, meetings, and point out their start time and duration - the program makes conversion timetable route, shifting all subsequent timestamps. As a result, I have to enter a series of dots indicating the town or an address on the map with your finger, and the program builds an optimal route by road. Then I make the events in the area of ​​each point of the route and complementary activities with arbitrary time-consuming. The program should calculate the actual decrease in the deviation from the planned route, if I stray from the schedule and deviate from the assigned route. Each point on the route of travel must be able to mark its achievements and automatic recalculation of targets. Add the possibility of planning the financial cost of each event (lunch, visits to museums, hotel accommodation, road taxes, petrol between points, etc.). Also need a total calculation of the budget travel and expenses for each category separately. Thank you. --------------- Добавьте пожалуйста: 1. Возможность сортировки событий по времени или вручную в пределах дня. 2. Добавьте функцию построения дорожного маршрута между координатами событий, в зависимости от транспорта перемещений (авто, пешком). 3. Добавьте функцию автоматического рассчета расстояний и времени между точками событий. 4. Добавьте рассчет расхода топлива с учетом перемещений на автомобиле. 5. Сделайте помощник планирования: я выбираю города или адреса пальцем на карте, а программа рассчитывает расстояния и время между ними. Также очень нужно оценивать расход бензина в литрах и деньгах. 6. Если между точками событий я добавляю другие события, например: обед, прогулки, ужин, встречи и указываю их время начала и продолжительность - программа делает перерасчет временного графика маршрута, сдвигая все последующие временные метки. В итоге я должен ввести серию точек, указывая города или адреса пальцем на карте, а программа строит оптимальный маршрут по автодорогам. Далее я вношу события в районе каждой точки и дополняю маршрут произвольными мероприятиями с затратами времени. Программа должна умень рассчитывать фактические отклонения на маршруте от плановых, если я сбиваюсь с графика и отклоняюсь от заданного маршрута. Каждая точка на маршруте путешествия должна иметь возможность отметки ее достижения и автоматический перерасчет плановых показателей. Добавьте возможность планирования финансовых расходов каждого события (обеды, посещение музеев, проживание в отелях, дорожные налоги, бензин между точками, и т.п.). Также нужен суммарный расчет бюджета путешествия и по каждой категории расходов отдельно. Спасибо. Отправлено с iPhone
Good clean app thats worth the money:) I dont prefer the pin point drag n drop option.

Some bad moments

First app ive ever bought that locked up the iphone multiple times. A great idea, program is useless.
Terrible, probably worst purchase so far. App is buggy, probably has memory leaks because it freezes. Junk.
I like the idea but it freezes on my new 4 GS Got it to work once. Its only a buck but Id still like my money back just on principle. Good luck. I hope you iron out the bugs.
Great concept but current version needs refinement. Very difficult and clunky to utilize the map page. Doesnt access addresses from iphone contacts for use with app. No easy way to clear any current map efforts and start fresh. Frustrating. Could be a great app if tweaked some.
Very handy and simple to use. Awesome ability to save directions locally! Please add dropbox and social features.
This is a weak app that allows you to get written directions from the built-in maps app and then send them to someone else by email. Thats it. The map interaction is for whatever reason worse than the native map app. For example, it doesnt target your current location, and you cannot use "current location" as an entry (as you can in native). [updates: Also you cannot pick addresses from your contacts, and it does not pick up "remembered" addresses recently used as the native app does.] Quirky - although there is a "save" option, its not clear what is saved, where it is saved or how to get it. [updated: it does say saved to "gallery"; maybe that is old iPhone terminology; now its called "photos" and "camera roll". Also quirky in that once you create a route, it does not always map it - can take 2-3 tries, and after routing then viewing written directions there is no clear way back to the map, though you can get there is you try several approaches. To send the saved map, you have to go to your photo roll and email from there (you can create and save a map, go to photos and email from there using the native apps).] So for $.99 you can get written map directions and email them. [Updated: It does fill that gap in the native apps but thats all. ]
