RunRoute: autogenerated running routes

Re:RunRoute: autogenerated running routes by rspeer on Tuesday February 17, 2015 @04:22AM (#9061323)

Okay, before I get on the mailing list of a nonexistent app, tell me more about the idea, because this page is really light on details even for a teaser.

How does it generate its routes? Does it have some information about which routes are good for running, which routes are in sketchy areas that are better to avoid, and which routes take you to busy intersections with a long wait for the signal?

Hi rspeer.

Built into the app is an algorithm that takes into account a randomly selected bearing and how far you want to run.

Eventually we'd like to be able to direct runners on more scenic routes, fewer busy roads, etc, depending on their preferences.

There won't be any e-mails going out to the mailing list until the app is released, unless you indicate that you're happy to provide feedback during its development.

It would be nice if you could include elevation with the option to choose how flat the route shall be.

Yes, that's a great idea. Thank you.
