All users receive a free 7 day premium feature trial. After 7 days, basic users will only be able to optimize routes with three or less destinations. All other functionality remains the same. After the trial has ended, an optional in app purchase will allow you to become a premium user. Premium users are able to load routes with up to ten destinations. All other functionality remains the same.
The designated driver scenario:
Suppose you are stuck as the sober driver one night. Rather than worrying about curfew and how to get everyone home efficiently, just plan the night with Routes. At the beginning of the night, while everyone can still remember their own address, quickly input all your passengers’ drop off points with our convenient localized search. Then, choose your own house as the final destination and set the “arrive by” time as your curfew. Choose the optimization and notification options, load the Route, and soberly party on! We’ll give you an alert when it’s time to gather everyone and head out.
