    Default GPS Route Tracking App...

    I have been ryding some real sweet roads the last few weekends (hit the beach at Half Moon Bay last Sunday) and decided to search for a GPS route tracking app. Tried Triplog, but wasn't what I wanted. MyTracks was okay, but seemed more for exercise/fitness jogging type routes rather than motorcycle routes. Do any of you out there use an Android app to track the routes you are ryding? If so, which app do you recommend?

    Some friends have been sharing some nice routes and I didn't want to lose track of the roads driven. Sure, I could use the old Rand McNalley, but i'm searching for a higher tech solution for the Android platform. I know i'm not the first one travelling down this road (metaphorically speaking, of course), so i'm hoping there will be some good recommendations that will save me more of the old trial & error.

    Thanks all!!!

    I don't have an Adroid device, but interested to see what people see because I'm sure there are similar apps for "the other" systems.

    For Android check out: https://spotwalla.com/ there is an free app that will push your data points up to a server and will track your trip. We have used this to allow others to know where we are, this is similar to a SPOT device without the cost.

    Thanks all

    Larry, I didn't find MotionX in the Google app store unfortunately.

    kyace2003, I checked out Spotwala & they looked interesting so I downloaded an app called Bubbler which interfaces with Spotwala. I'm playing around with it now, but won't know much until my next road trip.

    Appreciate the helpful suggestions!!!

    Have you considered asking Rattigan_Roger about developing one?

    Jack turned me on this app and we both now use it on our Nexus 7 tablets.

    OsmAnd+ the best one so far, has endless settings to configure it; GPS is full featured but awkward putting in addresses to search for. Maps are good quality and detailed and constantly being improved as it is an International effort. Read up on it via Google...

    Excellent suggestion. Roger, if you're out there and are interested...I'm willing to be a test subject

    There is an app called "My Tracks" that will record your route along with elevation and speeds. It will sync with Google drive so you can share if you desire.
