App did everything – Ride with GPS: Bike Navigation Review

I went to go ride a 500 mile dual sport ride and decided to only use this app instead of buying a gps. This app killed it. This app allowed me to upload a gpx file to it and then translate that into turn by turn directions. It also allowed me to input my own directions when there were no roads. At one point I knew I needed to ride through a forest that wasn't a road and it helped me get through there. Also I used it on an old phone that wasn't hooked up to any cell service, just a gps signal. I was able to download the maps for offline use and just use my old beater phone for my trip. I loved the feature of being able to break a huge 500 mile ride up into three segments for the three days I was out riding. And the app was fast enough to keep up with my motorcycle. The only thing I wish was that the directions list when on a ride, at the bottom below the map, was a little bigger. Or maybe even if just how many miles left to the next turn was more visible. Also, I feel like the ride with gps guys idea of a "sharp turn" is very very broad and used instead of just a "turn" this was confusing at some five way stops. It would consider say a right at an intersection a sharp turn and not just a turn. Will with out a doubt be using this software again for my new trip. I feel no need to invest in a fancy gps now. Thanks a ton dudes!!!!!
