Calimoto Navigation App.

Good to know thanks, I was looking for an app that could do all that, google maps and tomtom are absolute crap for what I wanted to do.

Cheers. Can't beat having dedicated app, Google was driving me nuts and then sending me down roads I didn't want to go which may be shorter but dirt tracks and wouldn't go to waypoints in the order I wanted.

Now that's handy alright, I didn't know that !

If I want to navigate A to B I'll still use Google maps, for address searching and all that because if I'm specifically looking for an address then chances are I'm only going to there and back and google is fine for A to B but not for planning a route in a specific direction that only goes the roads and direction you specify.

I find Calimoto fantastic to just tap on the screen and ass as waypoint and you can set the order and it will only navigate from 1,2,3,4 etc, other maps such as google will just try always go the shortest way and mess up your route.

Now saying all that, I haven't put it to the test yet because my deauville is still dead nothing heard since so I won't know what it's really like until I can test it on the road.

I tried out the paid version of calimoto last week and it's absolutely fantastic, everything I wanted in nav app for bike.

I planed a ride from Carlow - Kilkenny - Freshford - Urlingford - Templemore - Roscrea - Borris-In-Ossory - Ballacolla - Abbeyleix - Swan - Newtown - Ballylinan = Barrow House - Maganey - and back home all of 124 miles.

Of course you have to plan but unlike google maps, the roads you pick are the roads you drive and it won't change the route as you ride, absolutely perfect.

Depending on the weather this week I hope to get out again.

Ye might remember my Deauville engine blew up, I got it replaced with 2nd hand engine and it runs better than ever, but I was without the bike from the middle of June until September, so trying to get out as much as I can, when I get out on the bike I just want to keep going.

I don't use calimoto abroad so I guess you pointed out one important issue.

Google has great detail but for planning a round trip with waypoints it's a lot more difficult, with calimoto I can just click on a point on the map and add as waypoint, if it calculates a road in a town I don't want to go on I simply click on another point on the map and set " add waypoint" and it will calculate it down the road I want to go, with google maps I can't point on the map and set as waypoint without looking for a garage or some other place that's on the road I actually want to go down and it's a lot harder to save routes in google maps.

You can try this mymaps.google.com

It helps planning trips and saves to google drive and you open them from google drive which will then open up google maps.

Let me know how that works for you.
