Hey learned folks, anyone recommend a free route planning apps that is not Google? Want to plan a drive and have waypoints and not stops, annoying to acknowledge a stop just to force a route! ---

I use a Garmin, and basecamp, but as a backup I use Osmand. I think its fantastic, quite complicated, so takes time to learn, but you cna do so much with it. I import gpx tracks I create in Basecamp, so not sure what its like to plan a route on Osmand, a lot of eu tourers use this: > **[The largest verified route archive thanks to MyRoute-app RouteXperts](https://www.myrouteapp.com/en)** > > Get free permanent access to the largest car- and motorroutearchive in the world. ---

I’ve used it a lot to create routes when going greenlaning, as it allows me to place points that aren’t always on the “road” I think I paid for it ages ago and can use it offline too by downloading maps. But it’s free to use online, assuming you’ve got data and coverage. ---

I use furkot on pc to plan routes, then export them to my phone to navigate. > **[Furkot | Road Trip Planner | Map Your Route](https://trips.furkot.com/?hl=en-GB)** > > Schedule stops, find attractions, book hotels, share travel itineraries, map routes. Plan your motorcycle ride, RV tour, car drive, bike track, backpacking hike, family vacation, weekend outing. One planet, 6 continents, all roads I use Locus maps for the navigation, they also can plan routes on the phone (and the paid version lets you plan on a pc and send to your phone) ---

I use gpx studio [https://gpx.studio/](https://gpx.studio/) for planning routes then import the gpx file into beeline. You can use the app without the handlebar display.
