I wrote this simple app to help make route cards. I believe route cards are complicated but a neccessary part of any Hike. Given their use for planning and for safety, I wanted to make it easier for outdoor enthusiasts to make them. Being out in the hills or mountains, poor planning can lead to risks and even fatalities. My hope is that more use of route cards can reduce these risks.
