Bad Maps

Switch to google Maps since the latest update is worse than opencyclemaps. Would be nice to choose maps within app.

Grrrreat

Love it! Just one thing: please send turn-by-turn instructions to the pebble smartwatch (like PebblaNav for instance). That would be a very usefull upgrade!

Perfect for me

Thanks for this fine app-gem. Was very skeptical if this would fit my needs. But I used it in New Orleans with very satisfying results. Lets see if it works back in Germany as good as it did here. Keep up the great work!

Please update for map cache !

Works. Annoyingly, the cached map is deleted each time you open the app with wifi/ 3G or any data connection. Fix please !

Not worth it

Crashes frequently and if trying to plot a route from anywhere other than your current location, constantly reverts to your current location forcing you to search again for the other location. Developer has no website which probably says it all. Not worth even $1.99.

Rating

Using on cross Canada trip and its been invaluable. Been very impressed with its accuracy, with exception of some rails to trails that never got built but are used in winter for snowmobile trails, it hasnt steered us wrong. Like how quickly it keeps up as move, and the ability to drop pins is great! Could have slightly better interface for entering destinations so wouldnt have to go to main page to type on a destination, but minor inconvenience.

Doesnt work

Poor UI. The app doesnt show any cycling route at all. Dont waste your time on it.

Barely functional

Unintuitive interface. Doesnt really plan routes well (or at least provides no overview).

No better than Google Maps

I was looking for a more bicycle-savvy mapping app than Google Maps beta version. This is apparently not it. I will see about getting the full version, but I need a reason to try it, but havent seen it yet.

Where have the routes gone?

Downloaded this a couple of weeks back and it instantly showed me tonnes of cycle paths which I was completely unaware of. Now though, with your switch to Gmaps, I dont see a single path marked on the map. You seem to have turned a useful app into an implementation of Google Maps with less functionality...

Seems to work!

Just did a bunch of test routes in the seattle area - reliably found the trails! Looking forward to trying out on the road. Been looking for something like this for a long time!

Neat app...but

This is a good app, but it would be nice to have a written turn by turn option so you can really plan before you go, like for restaurants, lodging, sites, etc. Hope that comes in an update.

Not what I hoped for.

Does not provide optimal routing for cyclists. Tried to plan a route and it simply highlighted the most direct route on the busiest most dangerous roads (Chicago area). Seems to be totally unaware of any routes with bike trails & lanes. I would NOT buy this App., sadly I already have. Royfill

What a joke

I thought this would be useful. Wrong! Google maps works better and is free. Bike routes are not used as far as I can tell. I thought that was the point. Obviously not.

Doesnt work at all

The app wont work at all

Confused

I live right next to the interurban trail in Everett Washington, its a 15 or so mile paved trail for walking and biking, basically its like a bicycle freeway if you want to get through town down all the way to Seattle. I bought this app because I thought it would be cool to see other trails/safer road routes in the area. So far the program just sends you right down highway 99 instead of sending you on any safe route, nobody is going to ride a bicycle from Everett to Seattle Wa. So my question is what does this program have to do with bicycles because to me its giving the EXACT routes that google does for cars? And how do I get my money back?

Needs some work

Its nice to have a cycle app that hooks into Maps in iOS 6, but the interface and features are sorely lacking. No overlays of bike lanes, bike friendly streets, or paved off-street bike paths… No way to view alternate routes… No way to have multiple destinations, or calculate routes going past certain points-of-interst (like parks, bike shops, etc). On the interface side, I can appreciate the minimal overlays on the maps, but the info panel just seems like a bunch of buttons thrown on a gray box. Also, on the iPhone4 and iOS 6, Im not seeing the options for fastest/quietest route types.

Pointless App

There is no correlation between the features advertised in the App Store and this app. I cant enter Point A to Point B values. This app does not work. I regret my purchase.

Bad App

This was a horrible waste of money. There are no instructions about how it works. The interface stinks. I wasted $2

Not even worth $.10....

I bought cycle maps in order to get some cycling maps! Or, new routes in my area. Its just the GPS on my phone. Lame!!!! Yeah, it was 50% off, but getting a piece of crap on sale is no bargain. Please give me my dollar back!
