We should just set up a bot to post their content. We all follow Fortnite.

In Australia on my 13,000+km ride I used a combo of paper maps and HEMA Offline Topo Maps. Paper maps are handy on long trips as when you’re done with them, you can pass them on to someone else; less luggage. I brought my iPhone with me anyway but would leave it on aeroplane mode or just keep it off entirely if I knew where I was going. Battery lasts ages (several days) like that. Offline maps on the smartphone are handy for planning.

I actually bought the Beeline a few weeks ago on a whim and have been using it on and off.

I like the idea, I don’t always want a big bright busy display in my eye line and it gets enough info across and I love how it looks during the day. But for $200-$250 it’s way too little for way too much and it’s till entirely dependent on your phone, so if the company goes out of business and you get a new phone, it will probably become just another piece of e-waste. I dig it, but I’ll be the first one to admit that it’s not all that necessary if you have a phone and a mount and it’s gimmicky.

I do see the point about it sometimes being a little laggy, but the biggest issue I have with it is while you can set a “fun” route, if you do happen to miss a turn or decide to go another route because there’s traffic, I really wish it would just find another fun detour instead of doing the typical GPS thing and trying to get me back on my old one with U-turns or turning onto some random quiet residential roads only to get me back to the same traffic. I don’t mind going the long way around, I’m on a bike and it takes going way out of the way for it to catch on and finally completely reroute. It’s a little annoying.

what i really want is a great off road ride planner with voice nav

OsmAnd is aight. I pay for Rever and its pretty trash, but one of the better apps ive used for planning. i just use an old phone as a dedicated adv nav

maybe what i want is for someone to explain how to set up osmand so i can have voice navs for an offroad route. i hate having a phone on the bars.

I picked up a used Garmin drivesmart 65 that I 3D printed a mount for. One of the accessories for it is a backup camera, and since my sideview mirrors see more of my shoulder than they should, it might make a interesting rear view mirror cam.

I used to have a Garmin nuvi (not the expensive zumo). Then switched to phone Google maps, now I just save my area offline and do audio only through my headset. But that’s all on road riding. Maybe I’ll try Gaia again. But I don’t usually get super particular about my routes either.
