what app for cycle navigation?

  • What apps are you using for cycle navigation? i will be doing some long rides soon and want to find a good app for this on my iPhone.

  • Bike hub is the best one IMHO. Free.

  • Navigation our gps speed/position recording? Strava is awesome for the latter. You can compare your rides with other users. Racing against each other on segments, lots of fun.

  • second on strava

  • 1 - bikehub, follows quieter roads, cycle paths etc, i think it knows the national cycle routes but I've only used it a couple of times, it was excellent on both occasions.
    2 - Waze, likes busy fast roads, great in the car but less so on the bike, though it is now programmable to avoid some routes
    3 - strava is kinda fun as above
    4 - endomondo - good to track your route so you can return to your start point easily, handy on mtb in forest if you're lost. ahem...

  • Was using Endomondo which is rather good, but Strava if you want to beat your mates or race against people (you don't know) local to you

  • I use Cyclemeter for most rides - you can set out the dashboard to show what info you want/need and also import rides from elsewhere - gpx, tcx files etc - and then follow a 'breadcrumb' trail in the map mode. Supposedly it can sync with heart rate monitors and cadence etc but I've never tried it. Export it all to strava later if you wish..

  • Run google mytracks for routes (and used to be able to run navigation in background but with now can't do that on ICS?), but seen a few people using strava and prefer how that works (or the old mytracks back please!)
