Found their Facebook page with not a lot to see. I IM’ed them and got this. They have a Facebook page with not a lot on it.

I tried it and it kinda works but trying to move the route to a lesser (more curvy) road isn’t easy. It will take some getting used to. I’ve asked about having the app on an iPad without the fees so we can create/work with it on a bigger screen. Waiting for reply.

I was able to load Genius Maps on my iPad for a week's trial. I've asked Genius maps to figure out a way to enable us to use an iPad or laptop to create routes without paying for it again. (won't hold my breath)

Here is a video of how it works. Not sure why it just stops at a point and doesn't continue to a road junction but ?

Are there any settings you can change to pick curvier roads (Like the MyRoute-App (https://www.myrouteapp.com/routelab) has), or avoid interstates, toll roads, etc?

Yes there is a setting to avoid road types. You can avoid Highways, Unpaved Roads, Ferries & Toll Roads. You can have traffic or not and it will re-route you around problems.

According to their site you can put it on all of your devices if the ownership is the same

I'll give it a try. I've been Facebook messaging them and they've come up with a few different ways to create routes. I told them to provide a web site so others can learn how to do it.
