Map My Ride (Read 1196 times)

JimFPU Five Star Member RBENT member, now in Virginia. I miss Texas! Posts: 1011	Map My Ride Jun 8^th, 2012, 2:09pm Got the Andriod phone app today going to turn on the Live Tracking to see if Kim can tell where I am on the 13 mile route home today. That is a feature I like already (if it works) over Ride with GPS.

It works ok most of the time in urban areas. In rural, where coverage is weak, then you stay stuck at the last tower it saw you on, or sometimes on odd towers not on your usual route, but ones your phone can 'see'.

I'm not aware of it having this feature though. Another you could look into is Strava, a friend of mine who rides uprights really likes it.

Even lost my phone once and found it with another phone via the web interface. Web site also gives you some graphical representation of the rides and historical info.
