## Description

Trail Router helps you discover new running routes.

Our routing algorithm prefers paths that go through parks, forests or by water, and avoids busy roads wherever possible.

Here's a few things you can do with Trail Router:

* Automatically plot a round-trip route of a desired distance.
* Manually create your own point-to-point route that prefers greenery and water.
* Choose whether you'd prefer routes that involve nature, well-lit streets or a lack of hills.
* Export your routes to GPX or KML, suitable for use on GPS watches

## Review summary

Users praise Trail Router for its easy-to-use UI and ability to map and discover local running routes, with no ads. However, recurring issues include inaccurate route lengths and lack of decimals/waypoints, safety concerns crossing busy roads, and unreliable navigation features.

### Pros

### Cons

- Route planning can be inaccurate or inflexible (lengths don’t match requested, decimals unsupported, no waypoint editing)

- Navigation features are unreliable (turn-by-turn prompts often fail, laggy, or pause unexpectedly)
