Get Directions HD app review: quickly and easily find directions to where you want to go

Introduction

If you find yourself out on the road frequently or are simply looking for a way of saving your most frequently used routes to your iPad then be sure to check out this route app which features integration with Google Places, support for multi-stop journeys, and much more.

I personally don’t really see the appeal of a route tracking app that is easily made redundant by services such as Google Maps or  others <insert Apple Maps joke here> which are available for free. I can, however, see that it would be useful to save your routes in a cool interface which allows for quick and easy access.

Get Directions HD definitely seems to provide just that, combining ease of use with a wonderfully common sense control system that allows you to add destination points to your routes by simply tapping and dragging them.

Get Directions the Easy Way

Get Directions HD has made it easier than ever to plot out multi-stop routes to destinations all over the world, utilizing an iPad-specific interface with a cool control system and a simple-yet-attractive visual design.

Any routes that you lay out can be saved to your route History for either online or offline access, depending on whether you have a data plan that you can access while you’re out on the road.

Share Your Routes Online

You can add up to eight different destination points to your routes by tapping where you want them and dragging to adjust their placement. This makes it very easy to create multi-stop trips; perfect for picking up loved ones on the way to your next big adventure!

Final Words

Get Directions HD isn’t the kind of iPad app that I can imagine myself having much of a need for, but those of you who travel a lot and rely on your own map reading will probably want to pay a little more attention.

This app looks decent, runs like a charm, and offers just enough features (in my opinion, of course) to justify the price tag. I’d say to check it out if you’re in the market for this kind of utility.
