v2.4.5

Avoid highways, tolls, and ferries when planning a route

The Avoid popover in the waypoint controls row, with checkboxes for Highways, Tolls, and Ferries.

Plot Along 2.4.5 introduces routing preferences for the open road. Tell the planner which roads to skip and your route is recomputed to match.

Avoid Highways

A new Avoid button in the waypoint controls row opens a popover where you can opt out of motorways, toll roads, and ferries. Toggle any combination and the route recalculates around them.

  • Skip the interstate. Avoid highways routes you onto smaller roads. Better for scenic drives and motorcycle trips.
  • Skip tolls. Avoid toll roads when you’d rather not pay at the booth.
  • Skip ferries. Useful when you’re towing or want to stay on land.
  • Profile-aware. Highways and tolls apply to driving routes. Ferries applies to every profile.
  • Sticks to the map. Your choices save per-map. A new account preference sets defaults for every new route.

Quick Bypass

Bypassing a waypoint no longer requires opening its Settings tab. A new icon button next to the edit pencil excludes a waypoint from the route in one tap. Tap the Bypassed badge to bring the waypoint back.

Polish & Reliability

Waypoints can no longer be accidentally dragged or tapped by a stray second finger on touchscreens.
