Or maybe you need to hop on the subway in New York or the tube in London; Quick Route will let you know when and where you need to be to get on your way.

AVOID GETTING WET
With an optional in app purchase, Quick Route will query Dark Sky and tell you how much it's going to rain on each route so you can pick the one where you will get the least wet. Quick Route will also sort through all the available options to suggest the optimal time to leave to avoid as much rain as possible. This feature is only available in the U.S.

BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, ADDRESSES OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN FIND WITH GOOGLE
Quick Route is powered by the Google Places and directions API. So anything you can find on Google, you can get to with Quick Route. Google has years of experience mapping and searching for businesses. Quick Route leverages that experience so you don't have to worry about ending up at the wrong place.

QUICK ROUTE USES THE MAP TILES ON YOUR PHONE
On iOS 6 devices, Quick Route will show you Apple's map tiles. On iOS 5 it will show you Google's. On all devices, it will use Google's places and directions.

DESIGNED TO BE FAST WITH AUTOROUTE AND PULL TO REROUTE
Quick Route has been designed to give you directions and get out of your way. Search for a destination, hit route and you'll be on the road in no time. Directions automatically advance when you reach the end of the previous step. If you make a wrong turn, Quick Route indicates you should pull down on the title bar or directions panel to reroute.
