This is just such a bad app for the yearly price. I'm trying to use it for a year long bikepacking trip in South America and it's really bad for planning routes. For example, if I have a 900 mile route and I want to see the distance and elevation from town A to town B, I have to go through an extensive "Plan" process that requires internet, even if the route is saved offline. Furthermore, elevation is totally inaccurate on my Garmin. E.g. a 3k ft climb in ClimbPro is probably only 2k ft.

Hi there, thanks for using Ride with GPS. Please get in touch with us if we can help with guidance on using the app while traveling. We generally recommend breaking up very long routes for the best experience, but when viewing your route, you can open the elevation profile to check distances and elevation in addition to major climbs.

If you find as I suddenly did, that navigation voice cues run much faster than normal speed , you can set the text-to-speech speed in settings, which helps. Thanks to Ridewithgps support for the tip. It's a great app, just used it in Bavaria and turn-by-turn directions were great. Sometimes, the route line on map disappears from view for a bit. Also, with Bluetooth earbuds connected, the sounds intermittently still run thru phone speakers. But overall, a realky useful tool.

Hey there, thanks for using Ride with GPS. The speed for the cues is tied to device settings, which vary by manufacturer for Android. On a Samsung device, you can find this by searching 'Speech' under settings, and check the Text-to-speech rate. If something seems off, definitely let us know (info@ridewithgps.com) and we will investigate - thanks!

I have tried Map My Ride, Strava, and Ride with GPS. Out of the three of them, Ride with GPS is consistently my favorite. I appreciate the user interface, and I find it generally friendly to use. There is a wide library of routes available so I can generally find something I will enjoy riding. The free app is functional and has fairly rich features to get you started. I like the app enough that I have subscribed to the paid version as well, but to get started, the free one has all you need.
