It has more thorough knowledge of local footpaths than Google Maps. And it takes Wellington's hills into account and can even show you a graph of the elevation change along the route, which is very useful. But the app has some quirks that limit its usability. The worst is that if you close it, it forgets the current route. If you're actually walking the route at the time, this means you have to stop and recalculate it, which is a pain. And on most screens the "Back" button closes the app without warning.

More useful than standard journey planner on google maps as it takes hills into account. Also neat info about journey is included

This app it's sluggish on a Nexus 4, and resets whenever I switch to my home screen then back to it rather than retaining its state. It also suggested a very roundabout route between two points in Plimmerton, ignoring convenient walkways (which kind of defeats the point).

Freezes often. App doesn't appear to have been updated in years, much like Wellingtons progress on cycleways.
