How to use this app:
First steps is to select your first mode of transportation, for example, via car on road, tap the pencil tab so it is highlighted, tap the start tab and type in beginning address, from there use the centre target on the screen to drop purple pins on the road in the direction you want to drive. Each pin that is dropped, a line will join to the next pin. If a mistake is made tap on eraser tab to undo your last pin drops just like edit undo.To move any pin, first zoom in on the pin, long press on it and then drag and release at the new location.Once you have reached the road near your destination, use finish tab to add the end address “red pin” will drop. Once this is complete and you are happy with your route, tap on the enter tab and then the route will be created ready for use to share with family and friends via send tab.

TIPS:
When dropping pins via centre target, if you want to draw a route onto an intersection, please drop the pin on the direction you are heading on the road. When a road veers, drop pin on the first point of the road that veers, so functionality knows the direction you are heading. (if you drop a pin after the veer and your choice was to follow the veer, the application will choose the line route for you in the opposite direction) if this occurs, erase tab undo that pin and replace it right on the veer so your route will now follow the road veer.
When selecting walk, cycle, or horse tabs, the routes you draw in are not magnetic to the roads on the maps. So this creates great off road routes by drawing in your favourite, walks, cycling tracks, and horse rides to share with family and friends via SMS.
Emergency tab:
This is solely for emergency use only with the selected members from your phone. Add your selected contact from your contacts list. The function of this works via GPS and tracks your position if you have alerted a selected contact, by sending them a message through the emergency tab only. It is prohibited to use this as a toy or game, so please read the terms of use and privacy policy associated with this app.
*continued use of GPS running in the back ground can dramatically decrease battery life.
