Atlogis strings the points all end to end: very messy and hard to edit compared to MapRun's layout for KML's which is very logical and intuitive.
Tried oomap and didn't like it either.
Still looking! Will try some of my other free apps but most seem to require getting the paid version to enable creating a Route.

Ken,
Preparing KML files:
- There is a multitude of methods available
- Some use completely online tools eg www.oomap.co.uk, and Google Earth has an online version that doesn't need to be installed on your PC
- Ultimately you can edit your KML file with a normal text editor (or even create it that way if you want).
- Atlogis - maybe try opening the KML file it has produced with a text editor so check the names
MapRun Focus
- Our focus is on where we can deliver the maximum benefits
- At this stage, the main volume of use is by Clubs for organised events, and so this is a primary focus
- Having said that, MapRunF offers the ability to set a simple event without anything other than the MapRunF App. Once you step beyond that level, you do need some tools to produce KML files (and KMZ files if you want a Map). These are common formats and there are lots of free tools, but it does need a PC/Mac capable of running these (or rely solely on on-line versions).
