Classic - Run App
Welcome to the Future of Car run Navigation
Why the app
Juggling paper maps and reading turn by turn directions is cumbersome when driving alone - probably not legal anyway. After getting lost on a couple of car runs, due to being by myself and not able to read the paper map and directions while driving, I developed this Car Run app for mobile phones. Just use google or Garmin etc you say? ..this app does what the others can not.
“You can use the GPS function on your mobile phone only if the phone is fixed to the vehicle in a commercially designed and manufactured mounting and you do not touch it while you are driving.” - South Australian "My licence" handbook
