wagnem10 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wasn't sure where to put this thread so I figured this would be an alright place. Does anyone else like to just ride around willy nilly, find a nice route, and then totally forget where they rode/how to get there?I like to think I have a good sense of direction and I always know which way home is when I'm out, but sometimes it tough to keep track of all the back roads, etc.So this weekend I downloaded the Map My Ride app for my phone. Just like Map My Run for you runners out there, but aimed at cyclists.I figured it would work in the same way when I was on the bike, so I turned it on and threw it in my pocket when I left the house. It worked perfectly!So now I have a GPS map of the route I rode and know exactly where I was at all times when I get back. Some of you may think this is silly, but I like it, and I think I'll continue to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 FWIW Google has one for Android called My Tracks. Exports and loads right up to Google Maps. That is the one I use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
