Hi
I have only used for about 50km of riding, in EU, but it promises to be great. I have often used G***le maps for its offline feature, but that doesn’t allow bike layers in offline mode. This also allows different map options, so it will be fun to try bike routes with Apple and OpenStreet maps. I like the bike computer function, fun to see how fast I go down some large hills and to moderate my pace on rides I don’t want to get all sweaty! The health integration is great, as is the privacy approach! The auto stop/start seems great for tracking to reduce distractions at the more dangerous times (intersections for example). Two critiques so far, when stopping to inspect the map a few times, it seemed to start flipping orientation randomly. This was an intermittent error. Also at one point the map started flashing as if my screen LEDs were in strobe mode, perhaps a bug conflicting with the outdoor brightness function of the phone. Thanks for the single family purchase option, keep up the great work and thanks for this great resource!
Very simplistic app. The map was accurate but the voice controls were not. The first ride it didn’t know where I was and it kept telling me to return to route - for 15 miles! The return trip was better but the voice guidance would tell me to turn after I passed the intersection. Many roads were unnamed roads to the app. I had to rely on voice because the map was too small for me to see all the turns. There isn’t a way to enlarge the map without messing the route. I’ll try the apps interface with google maps tomorrow to see if that is better. I wish I could change the app volume or his voice. Hard to hear. I wish there was a way to listen to the voice before I paid for the service. Big regrets so far.
I just have to get used to it. How do you save a route?
I read reviews before installing most anything, but I also notice the dates of reviews… there was a lot of legit negative stuff for CycleMaps from years back, so I figured I’d give it a shot—I mean, I’ve already tried so many chiit bicycle navigation apps already, what would be one more? WELL!! Let’s just say I ended up so pleased I bought the lifetime family package. As someone who voluntarily lives without a car, this dedicated visually clean app is just what I need. Thank you devs!
Main bike path is right outside my door this app used main roads instead. Refund please
I used this three times today for the first time. I never once felt in danger, as the app directed me to roads that weren’t too busy. My only feedback: add pins/dots to the map to significantly bike share docking locations. That would be super helpful.
I've tried many cycling apps and CycleMaps is my favorite. The routes it generates are much better than the others, the phone navigation screen is uncluttered so easy to follow when mounted on a bike, and the map selection and search function are excellent. I live in the mountains so the Terrain map and the elevation charts are invaluable, and saving the maps for offline use means I can still navigate in remote areas. The Apple Watch app is where CycleMaps really stands out. There are two watch views: a large arrow showing your next turn and a map view that can be zoomed in or out. You can easily send a route from the phone to the watch and rely solely on the watch for navigation (with or without voice instructions) or you can use both the phone and watch apps in tandem. It's worth viewing the tutorial (the Help option) and I would plan on spending a few minutes learning the app before starting your first ride. It's easy to use once you understand the interface.
You shouldn’t need location services to show me a route between two points. I’m capable of typing that in myself. The app does not respect this choice and constantly spams requests for access to location services.
