]]>.XLSX files can be imported directly from within inRoute, sent as email attachments to your device and opened from Mail, or shared from your spreadsheet app (.XLSX is the native format for MS Excel and supported by Apple Numbers and Google Sheets as well). For example,
1) Within inRoute, tap the map’s More icon (on Mac, the File menu), then tap “Import”, and select the file from its location.
2) Or, email the file to yourself. In the iOS Mail app, tap and hold the attached file, tap “Share”, then from the second row of app icons select “inRoute” (this may be under the “More” button at the far right). On a Mac, drag and drop the file onto inRoute.
.XLSX files must include a header row at the top, and during import you will be prompted to choose the columns that contain addresses (street, city, etc.), then the columns that contain the name to use for each map pin (first name, last name, business, etc). The format is flexible so a single column list of addresses works as well. Each row of the file creates a pin on the map, and the resulting route is automatically optimized if that is enabled under the Route button. Examples are available for download below:

]]>The post How does Family Sharing work? appeared first on inRoute.
]]>Once setup, all family members need to do is download inRoute from their iPhone/iPad and their apps will be upgraded with your subscription too. If they have already downloaded the app, they can activate your subscription using the “Restore Previous Purchase” button available under their app’s “More” button > Upgrades.
For sharing routes between family members, you can use AirDrop, email or cloud storage with the options under the map’s Share icon (or the File menu on a Mac):
– AirDrop: Use the “Share” > AirDrop option to quickly transfer your route and pins to a nearby, unlocked device.
– Email: Use the “Mail Route” option and a file will be attached to your message that can be imported on another device running inRoute. To import from Mail on an iOS device, tap and hold the attached .GPX file (at the bottom of the message), tap “Share”, and from the second row of app icons select “inRoute” (this may be under the “More” button at the far right).
– Cloud storage: Use the “Export GPX to…” option to save the route to a cloud storage location. To import on another device, use the “Import” option under the “More” button (or the File menu on a Mac)
If a family member’s iPhone/iPad has not activated your “Pro for Families” subscription yet, there will be a lock icon above the map on their device. This usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
If you still see a lock icon above the map on the family member’s device, tap the lock icon, and tap the “Restore Previous Purchase” button at the bottom of the Upgrades screen.

]]>Routes
The route itself (directions as opposed to map images), your pins and notes, are all stored locally by inRoute, so they can be accessed while offline. During navigation, off-route recalculation isn’t possible without a data connection. In this case, the navigator will speak once that internet/recalculation isn’t available and continue to show your location and the previously calculated route on the map, until you either return to the route or a connection becomes available.
Maps
Your device automatically stores Apple’s map data (which inRoute uses) in a temporary cache, depending in part on when it was last used and device free storage. In advance of a trip, you can influence the maps that are stored locally by panning the map through the route at the zoom level needed (e.g. tap “Go” and pan the route). Verifying a map area is cached can be done in Airplane mode. Apple’s map data does not currently support saving a map area to ensure it will always be available when offline. If a cached map is not available during offline navigation, the map will show empty gridlines, although the blue route line will still show and turn instructions will continue.

]]>The post How can I show/create alternate routes? appeared first on inRoute.
]]>2) Customize Routes with the ALT Button: You can show all available alternate routes for each leg of your route by tapping the ALT button on the green Start pin or any waypoint (alternates may not be available on some legs). Some alternates may use your preferred route, but they’re commonly used alternates so they generally don’t add more than about ~25% to the leg time. After selecting an alternate (if available), tap the “Next” button and repeat for the next leg, building up your route.
3) Customize Routes by Dropping Pins: If the ALT button does not have a route along your preferred road, then you can drop a pin at a midpoint along it by long pressing on the map. You can drag dropped pins (purple) as needed to place them along your preferred road (the pin lands where the pin’s pointy bottom is positioned when released). Finally, add the pin to your route by setting its WayPt checkbox. It may also help to designate any of these dropped waypoints as “Vias” so they are not announced during navigation (under the Route button, tap the waypoint to access the Via setting, or use the “Select” or “Edit” button to choose multiple waypoints at once and set them all to Vias with the “Actions” button).

]]>The post How can I plan a daytime only route, or travel a certain number of miles/hours per day? appeared first on inRoute.
]]>To set a place as an overnight stop (e.g. leave at 7 am), first add the pin to your route by setting it as a WayPt. Then, tap the Route button, tap the waypoint in the list, and set a “Leave at…” layover of 7 am (no “full days” should be added to leave the next morning).
If there were any intervals with no search results, you can use the “Search X Hours from a Pin” option, to easily vary the number of hours from the pin where there were no search results. You will be prompted to select the pin to search from, and you can change the search by +/- 0.5 hours (7.5, 8.5, etc.), or more as needed, to find search results. See below for additional options.
Additional options
You can also find places to stop near a particular time (or near sunset) using inRoute’s charts. Tap the “Distance/Time” label at the bottom to switch to viewing a chart against time. Sunset markers are shown on the chart and, as with any point on the charts, they can be tapped to briefly flash that point along the route on the map so you know where the time occurs. Zoom in on the chart near the time you wish to stop and the map will adjust to show that same area (or vice versa, zooming in on the map). Then tap the search field and select the “Route shown” or “Map” options and enter a search for “hotels”, “campgrounds”, etc, to find places to stay overnight.
