Here's a question for the hive mind.... road trip route planning apps, when you want to take a very specific route. Has anyone ever found anything that works?
For example, here's a circular route I have planned on Google Maps via the desktop web browser app -
https://goo.gl/maps/KAJryboEsS45CaLE6
If you open that link on a desktop web browser you will see the same circular loop as I planned
If you now open that route on the phone app you will see that it redirects you on the shortest route between the start and end point. The same if you send it via phone, open the link in mobile browser or the app.
So, my question is, does anyone know of any good custom road tip/route planning apps which actually work on a phone.
I really think Google are missing a trick here - there is a work around using My Maps but it's horribly complex/clunky.
