Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Or perhaps they're waiting for you to pop your clogs naturally, rather than them accidentally doing it

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Welcome back Bibs.
I got to near Aberfoyle and turned back. The roads were a bit unpredictable. Some were ace, but then you'd hit a big wet dirty bit, right on the corner. When it started spitting I decided I'd had enough |

Had the same problem. Map out on computer with adjustments and custom waypoints... send to phone and it's just all recalculated by Google however it wants and you have to add all your points in again. I had some success with Rever for a bit when I had a free trial, but didn't carry on using it as I got a Garmin instead. Still learning how to use that too! + Hi Bibio. Good to see you on here.

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
When you plotted the points on your phone were you able to save it somehow? I ended up just putting the screenshot on my phone

the Garmin adventure routes are ok, but can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. i often have to tweak my setting en route as it either starts taking too many smaller roads, or too many larger roads. |

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
I'm not looking for sat nav style directions, just something to refer back to when I reach that 'oh crap where TF am I meant to be going' moment

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
I couldn't save anything on Google maps. Just the "send to phone" option and once the browser is closed it's gone. If you don't want turn by turn directions then the free version of Rever may work for you. You plan on computer when you're logged into your account. Then open the app when you're out and also log into your account and your pre prepared routes should be there for you to see.
If you want dictated directions it definitely costs after the free trial.
