HOW TO PLAY:
Download and Set Up:
Begin by downloading the Ride with GPS app from the Google Play Store or App Store. Once installed, open the app and create an account or log in if you already have one. Set up your profile by entering your cycling preferences and goals.
Plan Your Route:
To create a new route, navigate to the route planning section. Use the map to plot your desired path, adding waypoints and customizing your route as needed. You can choose between different map styles, view elevation profiles, and even select bike-friendly paths.
Start a Ride:
Before you start cycling, open the app and select your planned route. If you haven’t planned one, you can start a ride without a predefined route. The app will begin tracking your ride, recording data such as distance, speed, and elevation in real-time. You’ll also receive turn-by-turn navigation if you’re following a planned route.
Use Offline Maps:
If you’re cycling in an area with limited connectivity, download the route map for offline use. Go to the map section and choose the option to download the map. This ensures that you can navigate without relying on cellular data.
Analyze Your Ride:
After completing your ride, review your ride data in the app. Check out the detailed statistics, including total distance, average speed, elevation gain, and calories burned. Use this information to analyze your performance and make adjustments to your training or route planning.
Share Your Ride:
Share your ride with friends or the broader Ride with GPS community. Upload your ride data, share the route you took, and compare your performance with others. Participate in challenges or join local cycling groups to stay motivated.
Set Up Notifications and Alerts:
Customize your notifications to stay informed during your rides. Set up alerts for upcoming turns, distance milestones, or if you stray off course. These notifications help you stay focused and on track.
Connect with Other Apps:
Integrate Ride with GPS with other cycling or fitness apps you use, such as Strava or Garmin Connect. Sync your ride data across platforms for a comprehensive view of your cycling and fitness progress.
Customize Your Experience:
Adjust the app settings to suit your cycling style and preferences. You can customize the data fields displayed during your ride, set goals for distance or elevation, and choose different map views to enhance your cycling experience.
