Bicycle Route Navigator 4+

Been using for the last month. Like the app, but suddenly lost riding conditions. Fortunately I read a head a little and a local reminded us of a section of 94 to stay off of. Also, elevation is way off on some routes which has made planning a little difficult. Will send examples later.

Hi Gail,
Currently, the riding conditions require an internet connection but we will look to cache these within the app in a future release to make sure they are always available. Let us know if you are still having an issue getting to the riding conditions when you have an active internet connection.

I agree with others that this app needs to incorporate Google’s biking layer to fully understand the route and the nearby options. Turn by turn directions are also a must.

Finally, I live near a former campground in Northern Michigan that was sold and now a developer is putting up a BnB, but there was no way that I could see to pass this information along to ACA or to fellow travelers. A note-taking function might also be helpful for me incorporate trail knowledge learned along the way.

On the plus side, I like being able see the route, the elevation, and points of interest.

@Dfree617 - We do have the OpenCycleMap layer incorporated into the app which shows cycling infrastructure and works both online and offline. This can be used in place of the Google Cycling layer.

We hope to incorporate a map correction feature in the future, but for now, this information can be shared with Adventure Cycling through the online map correction form.

We appreciate the feedback!

The data is the only reason you might want to get this app, and then you’d quickly realize that the data is the only useful thing. The app itself is extremely basic, to the point where you will definitely need another tool, and then you might as well have just bought the gpx files from the website.

You can’t change map tiles. Google’s street maps and that’s it. You can’t customize the route at all or export it for use in another app. You can’t add your own data. One nice feature I guess is the elevation profile viewer, but that’s not worth buying this app for alone, and there’s no real reason otherwise to buy it over just the data.

Additionally, and why I’m here, the app begged me several times in the first few minutes of using it (I hadn’t even found the map catalog yet) for an App Store review. Knock that garbage off.

TL;DR just buy the data and use literally any other mapping tool you might want to use. It’s the same price.

Hi Jeremey,
Thanks for providing feedback on the app. It will help us to continue to make improvements in the future. You are able to switch between Google Maps and an Open Cycle Map layer on the layers tab. In offline mode, you are only able to use the Open Cycle Map Layer. We also have wind and weather data layers that can be enabled as well as a severe weather alert layer. These all are controled through the layers tab accessed through the magnifying glass icon in the upper right hand corner of the app.

I understand your displeasure with the prompt for the reviews. iOS controls when the review prompt it displayed. We will have to keep that in consideration for future releases.

Many of our users want a straight forward app that is easy to use. That is why we do not currently support importing additional data or exporting data. We do offer the digital data packages for those who prefer another app or have specific needs beyond the average rider.

Thanks again for provinding feedback as it will help give us direction as we continue down the road!
