I just downloaded Footpath, since I'm not a fan of Strava's routebuilder.

However, and forgive the ignorant question, how different is Footpath to EasyRoute (which is free, & supports uploads to Wahoo, Strava [iirc], and others)?

The end goal of the apps are very similar, though Footpath places a greater emphasis on the route building + editing UI, as well as what you can do with map layers.

One aspect of EasyRoute that is pretty awesome is its support for exporting turn instructions to Wahoo + Garmin GPS devices via FIT files (the developer works for Wahoo by day), while Footpath only supports exporting the route data to GPX files right now.

Hope that helps.

Yep, thanks for the response!

It was the FIT export that had me download it initially. Not sure it supports turn-by-turn though; haven't tried recently.
