    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Need a good navigation app for Iphone

I am seeking the GSR hives' input on a navigation app to use with my iPhone when on the bikes. I did a search but most of the results that I found were from a while back, and of course, technology does change!

Can anyone recommend a good app that works well for planning and tracking routes?

What do you use? What do you like and dislike about it?

TIA
 
I've used Calimoto. It has options to select all different terrains and roads windy, twisty, highway. Plan and map routes, and track rides. To get the map options for super twisty routes it requires a subscription payment, but it is pretty good free as well
 
For day to day, point A to B, I use Waze regularly. Tells me where (some) cops and hazards are. I can set the settings to avoid tolls or freeways, allow unpaved roads, etc.

I have played with Calimoto and really like it so far but need to play more. Don't know if I want it's advanced features enough to want to pay for it.

Another app I just installed is Detecht, but I don't know much about it yet. But I believe it's Similar to Calimoto.

I am also interested to read about any apps others may use.

Yeah Rich,

I'm playing around with Calimoto when I can. Seems like I've been spending to much time on the Honda Barko-lounger lately and it doesn't have a phone holder. I'm hopeful that I get it figured out before Brown County!:encouragement: I want to track some of those routes.
 
Right now I'm testing out three different apps to see which one works best for me. I've got Scenic, Eat Sleep Ride and Calimoto loaded on my iPhone.

The hardest part is navigating within the apps to get to where I can track and save my rides. (Having 3 different apps which are all very different is a PITA!)

Very early result is that the Scenic app seems to fit my needs better than the others, but I'm going to use all three this week at Brown County and see which one wins out.

Thanks to all for the input!:cool:
