Intelligent Route-Planning App InRoute Goes 2.0 With iCloud Sync And Other Improvements

June 16, 2014
InRoute, the intelligent route and road trip planner developed by Carob Apps, has just been updated to version 2.0 with a parade of new features and improvements. Perhaps most notably, InRoute 2.0 adds support for syncing bookmarked routes and places across iOS devices via iCloud. InRoute 2.0 also adds support for adding layover times to waypoints and numbers waypoint pins according to their order in a route. It also introduces new route search options, allowing you to search along a route every certain number of miles per km or search a certain number of miles per km from a place (e.g. search for "gas" every 200 miles). Furthermore, the latest update to InRoute brings enhancements to the app's charts. First off, several weather alerts along routes in U.S. and U.K. areas are now available on weather charts. Sunrise and sunset times are now also shown on all charts, as is an elapsed time option. The tracking button now also allows overview mode, turn-by-turn directions list, and charts to update with the current location. InRoute 2.0 also comes with the following improvements:
  • Quick and easy “Getting Started” tutorial
  • Reverse route option
  • Improvements to Navigon integration
  • Tapping a chart shows corresponding location on the map
  • Bookmarked route names now used for turn-by-turn lists and exported GPX files
  • GPX files include route in detailed "track" format for nav software without routing support (e.g. MotionX GPS)
  • Map pin ETAs are calculated from the route “Start”
  • Map pin details show URL for search results, and company name for contacts
  • Cancel option when optimizing waypoint order
  • Added French localization
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 7.0 or later, InRoute 2.0 is available now on the App Store for free, with a $1.99 in-app purchase offered for its Premium upgrade. The Premium upgrade includes, among many others, the aforementioned bookmark syncing, waypoint layover time addition, and severe weather alert features. [gallery]
