Tracking my ride.. what do you use?

“Eyeballs” LMAO

I use Scenic Motorcycle Navigation. No need to pay for the premium version. The free version is excellent.
Do not fall for the Calimoto app. Total garbage. Rerouting sucks so bad I’ve gone 10s of Kim’s off route because of it.

were we talking about navigation?

no way Jose, I'm not going there

time you'll never get back!
 
If you have an iPhone, Scenic is great. Turn by turn navigation of previous routes. Which is actually rare for tracking apps, usually you can just refollow the drawn line manually.
 
For Scenic I usually map my route in Find The Best Motorcycle Rides on Earth and export it to a GPX file for precise routing. This is of course when I’m going for 500km++ rides.
The only thing other apps may offer is the ability to search other users rides and then ride those. Scenic doesn’t have that.

If you have Google Maps there's a good chance the Location History feature is enabled (you did read that EULA / TOS agreement you clicked "OK" on when you signed up with Google, right?) and it's got a long history of your travels.

For pure "I forget where I went last Saturday" type stuff, it works perfectly.

If you're looking for more feature laden options, I've used Yamaha MyRide which also tracks other stats about your ride as well as a great tracking feature. It doesn't seem offended I don't actually ride a Yamaha. Give it a shot, I think you'll be surprised.

Rever....meh. Scenic, same...meh. They all seem so clunky and try to be a jack of too many trades instead of a master of one. I use Google Maps or Waze for navigation, and let Google location history do the tracking portion.
 
I do agree with the Yamaha app. It’s simple. Unfortunately, it crashed on me too many times mid-ride and I was loosing all progress + having to redo my route.

Scenic has best Route creator and great listing of Routes posted by fellow riders which Rever or Eat Sleep Ride do not.

I have posted many routes in Scenic for GTA and Ontario.
Go to Routes and Find Scenic Routes and over 100 were returned for the Southern Ontario Area
