I use Gaia on an old phone (android) without a sim. I've never had an issue with it crashing. I prepare rides on a pc at home, sync it to the cloud, load onto to the app, and away I go. It's my main navigation app for recreational riding. For day to day, on the bitumen, I use Google maps.
Nice look at a few of the apps available- cheers for that. And yep, it's OsmAnd for me (as a back up to my Tomtom). Great free app, although not perfect- as you touched on. Cheers
Love the comparison video thanks for taking the time to run the same route, with the different apps, so we could see the difference 👍 looking forward to more of your navigation videos !
Thanks for the great video. I am looking up Speedometer, but it is retiring a lot of hits in the App Store. Any chance of getting a link to the one you reviewed? Thanks, NM.
@@MotoRidesAustralia thanks so much. More GPS apps and devices should announce waypoints. I like the idea of setting a waypoint up before, and one after a turn / obstacle. The first one tells you to ‘turn in 400m’, and the second one tells you distance till next turn.
@@MotoRidesAustralia a lot of the existing reviews are really superficial. I’m keen to hear what it’s like using the apps you mentioned via CarPlay when you’re out adventuring without a signal… I also prefer to keep my phone on me (no power), I’m curious if it’s practical given the Chigee requires the phone to do all the heavy lifting…
I run Hema, in regards to the tracks you create not being visable, you have to go into settings on app and do a manual ‘sync’ to retrieve from hema cloud onto device.
