Iphone users GPS

Thought some of the folks that have an Iphone might be interested in a Gps App that i found.Its called Gaia Gps and the cost is 9.99$.I used it yesterday for the first time and was happy with how it did.This Gps app is able to run with or without cell service,If you preload the area in which you are going to ride then the Gps funtion of you iphone (3G or higher) will take over where the cell service leaves off.

This is the track we took on our ride yesterday.



You are able to zoom in or out as needed. Now after you have made a track you can save it under any name you like and then if you return to that area to ride you can load it up and have it guide you once again through the same area.

It also keeps good records on the entire track,average speed,distance,time and more



Here is a map shot of the richie mine area you can see the intersection of 47/53 I didn't zoom in to close so you are able to see the roads.The guide me part of this app is really good, as you can set the direction indicator to always show your direction your going and it will rotate automatically to keep you going in the right direction.

This is probably not as funtional as the Nuvi 500 or some of the other stand alone Gps units on the market,but for 10 bucks i'm not disappointed at all.

APP store search for Gaia off road Gps will lead you to the download.

That's cool. I may have to try it on my iPhone. Great post! Thank you.

Yup,they sure do. The one on my Android works 10 times better than my garmin 500 ever did. I recently recorded tracks totalling 185 miles without a failure and it very easily transfers and overlays with google earth.

I just sent the app from dragpipes answer here and it works. Wife just tested it out going to the store now we will test it on our next trail.

The app My Tracks and My Trails are free for Android and work great. They track even if there is NO cell service.
