Bike GPX 4+

This app is superb for its adjustable sized speedo and clear routing. It would be even better if the compass was always visble, and, more importantly, gpx files could be opened by the app. For now we have to go to the BikeGPX website, browse for our gpx route, open it, wait and hope not to get the Internal Server Error message, save it and finally open it in the BikeGpx app. I say please ditch the website or at least make it more communicative. There's no means of contacting BikeGPX except, maybe, thru this review.

Three old guys have completed the King Alfred Way and West Kernow Way over the last year in trying conditions in October. Have used various apps between us, but the Ridegpx app, on the second ride with Premium setting, has proved to be the best guide even in the most remote moorland areas with very indistinct paths. The alarm soon tells you whether you have chosen the correct route or not. We always followed the Ridegpx guidance over the other options. I rode with the route loaded to an iPhone 11 linked to a charger both stored in a waterproof case on the handlebars, with a transparent front giving a clear view of the route - even for those needing glasses! Can’t recommend highly enough.

One of the best cycling navigation apps. Very simple interface and easy to see the route when cycling - although like all cycling SatNavs, it uses default map colouring which makes the minor roads we cycle on very pale compared the the major roads we don’t cycle on?? Turn notifications when screen is locked very useful as is distance from route when deviated.

I only use it when I’m not sure of a route though - I would use it more, but the dashboard gauges are a bit too basic. I use Wahoo Fitness because it gives me averages not just the spot figures, but a lesser map.
