GPS & Digital Data Discussion / What is the best Tracking App to document my route?

« on: March 27, 2017, 03:23:49 am »

I am going on a cross country tour soon, and I would like to know what the best app is to show my route. I would prefer if I could use it Offline, so it doesnt use up a bunch of my phone's battery. I just want something basic that shows my route....It doesnt need to be fancy.

Much love.

« on: January 28, 2017, 05:20:15 am »

I am planning on riding the Western Express in late March, and I'm sure there will still be a good amount of snow in the Sierras. Is it possible to ride on the shoulder? Or do you have to ride on the road because the shoulder is filled with snow???

What's up guys. I want to ride from Monterey, Ca east to Yosemite, and then over Lake Tahoe and onto highway 50 in Nevada. Do you guys think that the roads will be open in the middle of March? Or will there still be too much snow???

If you guys don't think that is possible, what about riding through SF and along the Western Express to US 50???

Why do some people prefer the Michelin maps for Europe, when you can just use Google Maps? I purchased the Michelin maps and I don't see why they are better? Maybe I am missing something....I would love to hear your guys' opinion.

Will there be chill spots to wild camp along this route? I don't like paying for camping, and it is more of an adventure when I am wild camping.
