How can I navigate routes?

The easiest option to start voice guided navigation is with the “Go” button. The built-in navigator features:

  • Voice guided navigation of multi-location routes (up to 150 locations with inRoute Pro)
  • Severe weather detection ahead on route, every time you begin or resume navigation (currently USA, Canada, Iceland, EU and Israel)
  • Navigate inRoute’s custom routes (choosing from alternates available on each leg of a route)
  • Resume navigation anywhere along a route
  • Real-time ETA for each route location
  • Off route recalculation
  • Skip button to skip next route location
  • View charts showing elevation, weather conditions, or curviness as you proceed through a route (CarPlay navigation apps use standardized templates that are not compatible with charts yet)
  • Compatible with Bluetooth headsets. Voice notifications continue in the background or with the screen off.
  • Designate Waypoints as Vias so they are not announced during navigation for minimal distraction.
  • North Up or Track Up modes, Standard or Hybrid Satellite map types

Other Options

Agenda Nav

You can also transfer routes to other navigation apps using inRoute’s Agenda Nav feature, including Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze. While these apps don’t natively support routes with up to 150 locations, using inRoute’s Agenda Nav feature (map’s Share icon > External Navigation), the first leg of your route will be sent for navigation, then at each stop in your route inRoute will show a notification that when tapped will load the next stop in your route, all without needing to return to inRoute. To access the Notifications, swipe down from the top-left of your unlocked screen. Finally, you can also return to inRoute where you’ll find buttons for sending a location again, or skipping a location (if not showing they are under the Turns button). 

Share a single pin

To share a pin to Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, show the map pin’s details (tap its Name/ETA popup), then tap the Share icon from the top toolbar and select “Show in…” to transfer the place to an available app. 

To share a waypoint to the Tesla or Rivian apps for navigation, select the “Route” button, then press and hold on any waypoint and select the Share option from the menu (requires inRoute v8.7.3 or later).

Transfer to a GPS device

For GPS devices and apps that support importing multi-location routes from .GPX files (standard navigation format), including many Garmin-based devices, there are a couple ways you can export a .GPX file from inRoute:

  1. To export a .GPX file to an app, cloud/storage location, or SD card (may require an adapter), tap the map’s Share icon (or on Mac, the File menu), then “Export GPX to…” From there you can save to the Files app (iCloud Drive, SD card, etc) or choose apps that support .GPX files.
  2. You can also send an email with the route’s itinerary and an attached .GPX file: tap the map’s Share icon (or on Mac, the File menu), then “Mail Route”.

How you import the route depends on your GPS or app. The .GPX file that inRoute generates includes both a GPX “route” and “track” data types. If you’re prompted, generally the “route” is what you want for a GPS that’s going to generate its own voice guidance. The “track” is useful for navigation apps that follow detailed paths usually with on-screen arrows but without voice guidance.
