Plan a route in the app
Tap the map where you want to go and choose Add destination, or search for a place. Detecht plans a route from where you are.
You can start a route from the map in three ways:
- Tap the map where you want to go. This suits planning by eye, when you have no exact destination in mind.
- Search for a place. This is the quickest way when you know where you're going.
- Plan Route opens the itinerary list, where you add several stops at once.
Plan a route on the map
- Tap the map where you want to go, or touch and hold it. A pin drops there.
- Drag the pin to the right spot.
- Tap Add destination. Detecht plans a route from where you are to the pin.
You can also make the pin a stop with Set as stop, or your starting point with Set as start location.
Plan a route to a place you search for
- Tap the search bar at the top of the map.
- Search for your destination and choose it from the list. A pin drops there.

Choose the type of road
Once Detecht has planned a route, choose one of three road types:
- Fast: the quickest way to your destination, mostly on highways.
- Avoid Highway: avoids highways and takes quieter roads.
- Curvy: finds the curviest roads to your destination. Curvy is part of Premium.
To switch, tap the road type icon on the map, or choose the road type in the itinerary list and tap View on map.
