Hi. Looking for an android app which I can use to create routes via marking points /dropping pins etc. Website OK too if works well with touchscreen. Not looking for GPS based route generation.
Thanks

https://www.komoot.com/plan gives you a choice of “One Way” or “Round Trip”. The app spells them “One Way” and “Roundtrip” and you click the current one to expand radio buttons, where the web planner has them as sort of tabs.

Then if you click on “Choose Waypoint” you can use “Choose On Map”.

So it is possible, but I wouldn’t call you incompetent for not finding it obvious.

OK-thanks. As mentioned I have got a solution now but good to have options

For tracking progress, speed and route, Strava is the way to go.

For planning routes, especially for a beginner, I’d use cycle.travel which is optimised to use bike friendly routes.

Sorry – bike on road. Its for a family member who is starting to cycle short distances (5 miles ish) for a little fitness and likes to work out distance travelled when back home. I can’t persuade them to carry a GPS
