Hi All,
Wasn't sure which forum category but I guess this is as good as any.
Before I sadly lost my wife a few years ago we used to spend our holidays walking and cycling around the local area learning local history etc. Our weapon of choice for directions, Route logging etc was the "Viewranger" phone app. This was recently absorbed into the "OutdoorActive" environment. I preferred the Viewranger app and with it's demise looked for alternatives as it's replacement just didn't feel quite as friendly to me. Viewranger still works fine but no ability to download new detailed map regions anymore.
I started using the "Komoot" app which seems pretty good but more recently I've spent more time with the "Outdooractive" app again and I'm leaning towards using it as my "Go To" resource as it seems to follow routes with more accuracy than Komoot and allows me to plan route sections Komoot simply will not let me include. (I know they are valid having used them previously).
99% of my trips are unpaved paths, forest fire roads etc avoiding traffic as much as possible. (and people - I'm an unsociable bugger). It's unlikely any of my trips in the future will be outside the UK
Just wondering what apps others use, or do you just jump on, ride and make it up as you go?
Thanks in advance
