Ride with GPS, our favorite platform for planning gravel routes announced today their first major update in some time. Most notably, their flagship route planner is now available in the Ride with GPS app for iOS and Android.

The Ride with GPS mobile route planner is a completely new design that takes the core ideas of their industry-leading web route planner, and adapts them to a mobile device.

The new mobile route planner is fully compatible with the Ride with GPS web-based planner. It includes support for cuesheets, points of interest, interactive elevation profiles, drag-and-drop editing, and climb-aware estimated riding time. Estimated time is personally tailored to each rider based off their riding history.

Ride with GPS’s mobile route planner includes additional “smart” features that simplify tasks that are difficult in other route planners, such as modifying an out-and-back route, changing the start or end of a route, and automatically correcting accidental deviations onto side streets.

You can download the Ride with GPS for iOS and Android now. The company offers a free 30 day trial to test these new features.

If you try the new mobile route planning feature let us know what you think, we’ll be testing it in the coming weeks. Also let us know if there are other features you would like to see in route planning apps like this one.
