It's not like the phone's processor really does any of the work, nor rely on maps already resident on your phone. It's all done in the cloud, right?
I guess it would be too cumbersome to plan a route by putting waypoints on a phone screen with your finger.
In any case, interesting to hear that so many people use it to plan routes and upload the maps to their Garmin or Wahoo. To me, I just use a phone mount on my stem, works just as well. Never really understood why I would buy a Garmin or Wahoo unit if they cannot do the planning for me.
I believe you could also stick to the free version if you are reasonably familiar with the area and dont need turn by turn navigation to follow the route. You could just look down at the screen occasionally.
