    Regular user of Zwift and Trainer Road but looking for an app that has the functionality to cycle a route (either created or uploaded GPX/FIT) in google street view or earth and also change the resistance of the smart turbo. Anyone know of such as have a few races coming up I would like to virtually ride first

    Raymaker has the following but its over an year out of date...

    Good piece of kit but €1,100 for a second hand turbo you can buy new for €859?

    Not sure what the status of Google streets with VR trainers is going forward, from the Tacx site.
    Google maps, Google Streetview and Google Earth 3D. Google has announced to support the connection with Google Earth 3D until December 2015, for after this date they haven’t offered an alternative yet. As soon as this alternative is available, tests will be conducted to see if it can be combined with our TTS again. Google maps and Google Streetview remain available with our computer software.

    Possibly worth doing a bit more research before spending big money on a system specifically to use with Google maps.

    For the record I already have a turbo, Tacx Vortex smart T2180. Plus TTS doesn't work on MAC, thou I could run it in a VM or Parallels if needed
