The DVSA stopped publishing test routes in 2010 and examiners choose the route on the day, so these are practice routes on the same local road network — not a copy of any examiner's sheet. Cover the roads above and very little on test day should be new to you.
The app works with any car. It uses GPS, accelerometer and gyroscope data to detect harsh braking, excessive speed, poor lane positioning and missed mirror checks in real time, so you can correct mistakes the same way an examiner would.
