I have a Samsung galaxy s3.
I need to be able to record rides then get home and trace the route on my ordinance survey.
Are there any apps I can download or does the phones map do that?
How do you trace the route on your ordnance survey? GPX file?
If so, My Tracks can export routes as a GPX file. It works pretty well, to.
Endomondo (free one) can do that, you can export the trace as a GPX file then load it into OS Getamap
Note there could be better apps and there are free programs for showing the trace on a map on your PC rather than paying £20 a year of getamap (which IMO is worth the money)
Nothing so advanced, I have a paper OS map and just join the dots with a colour pencil. Luddite (see heading).
I know where I'm going, just want to record where I have been, you know, with distances etc.
Dont want to buy a sat nav gps thingy because it will end up in the same drawer as the heart rate monitor, night lights, ipod, mobile phones etc. thinks its called a man drawer.
It's a miracle I figured out how to get this far on a forum.
Give me a saw, hammer, spade, wrench, pipe bender, bike, tool box and I am happy.
Have a look at OruxMaps. You can download to the device varying levels of maps, including OS Explorer and Landranger. It will also record tracks for you.
If you just want to plot your route then any number of the Mapmyride, Strava, Endomondo apps will do that. Most are free as well.
