Pros and cons of Best Biking Roads app for iPhone and iPad
Best Biking Roads app good for
Recently made a trip in Hessen and used this app, worked well, found lots of nice roads.
This is awesome! Great mapping, not striaght line at all. No bugs that I have found. Shows the twists and turns and distances, road surface conditions, good informative summary of route and things to watchout for. A little light on North American rides but real easy to add new ones and share with others. I learned about great rides in my own neck of the woods that I would not have known about, and I thought I knew them all. I am going to add another half dozen to the list and share this app with the other riders I know. Worth the money.
As a techie who never goes anywhere without my iPhone this app will be my perfect road trip companion.
No issues using the app and looking forward to adding some of my favourite rides.
Thanks for making this!
And also great website! I propose to add some things:
1. GPX downloading, sharing via mail and uploading in cloud (i.e. OneDrive). Last will be very useful for Windows Phone smartphone users because of GPX Viewer app that can view the tracks from OneDrive.
2. Merging selected tracks with subsequent functionality described in point 1. It will be very useful for planning trips.
P.S. WP smartphones have greatest app HERE maps in my opinion. If your track database will be integrated in this app i certainly pay any price for that functionality.
When I first moved here and couldnt understand any Italian and wanted to go exploring on my bike I wish that had been available! Very nice
Awesome app; allows me to find popular rides wherever I may be; so many rides, so little time; I highly recommend this app
Some bad moments
I saw this App, and thought to myself- "Hey what a great idea, share roads with other riders, and get a Locals perspective on roads I dont know"
Well this road advice comes from the general members of the community, so its only as good as the one who is writing it.
My biggest problem is that on the map is shows point A&B and draws a straight line between the two, not giving you a true idea of the route to take, you would expect it to follow the contour of the roads, but it simply goes from A straight to B, more upsetting is the possibility that the Distance of the route to take is wrong, as I am not sure it takes accurate measurements.
Google the area you wish to ride, youll save plenty of money, and have a better time as well.
All the Canadian routes are entered by one guy who lives in Trenton. And Forks of the Credit. I was hoping for a hidden gem and got nothing. App is a nice idea, but needs a lot more data.
My location services are on on the ipad2 however the app keeps showing my current location as in the water off the west coast of Africa. Also, not quite what I expected as it would be nice to be able to import routes, from, say, google maps or google earth. Good idea for an app but it needs a connect with other biker route map makers...
The app DOES NOT export GPX format, only the web based tool exports. So its not very handy when you cant even store short cuts for trips you create or want to access quickly on the road. This is NOT of much use in an iPhone. Could be somewhat useful on a desktop, but I dont ride my Harley with a desktop.
Clever misdirection. Congratulations. Enjoy my money.
Worthless app! Tried to register 5 times. No email conformation. DONT BUY IT! Useless waist of money.
If you want to know how far your route is this app is completely useless because it is not made for the United States. It uses the metric system and I dont see any way of changing the app over to miles; therefore I will not be using this worthless app
