This is a mapmyride review of this cool new Map My Ride App I downloaded.
I’ve been having some fun with my new iPhone and one of the Apps I downloaded was Map My Ride.
It’s a free App that is GPS based on your iPhone internal GPS. I decided to take my mountain bike out this afternoon so I quickly downloaded the App just before I left the house.
I headed toward the mountain bike trail and I had not yet even opened the App.
It seemed to work pretty good for me today and I wanted to share with you because it has a cool feature with the WOW factor.
When I got back home and went online, it shows my route on the map. This particular ride I made today was 3.03 miles at a local mountain bike trail. Don’t laugh because today, I admit, was a weenie ride. It’s my first trip on the bike this year. My legs were rubber and my heart was wondering WTF was going on. I’ll slowly get myself back in mountain bike shape.
What I really liked was an option to show your ride from Google Earth. When you click it, it animates your ride from the satellite view.
This was the WOW factor that captured my attention. I recorded it so you could see it in action. I thought it was bad-ass. If I learn more about it, I’ll be sure to share it with you.
