I ended up with the Rever with the pro plan. It had better features for me than Scenic. I haven’t looked at Calimoto.

All the phone apps for GPS are a 'work in progress'!!!!
Calimoto is probably the best so far but very flakey and will destroy your planned route if you miss a turn. It will recalculate using it's own logic and ignore your waypoints from that point.
Rever & Scenic are getting better but not ready for primetime.
If you need to be certain to faithfully follow your intended route, stick with a dedicated GPS like the Garmin zumo line.

I use Rever with the Pro plan. I like the Butler maps included highlighting the rated scenic roads. I'll build a route in Rever and then download the gpx file into my Zumo GPS. You don't necessarily have to follow the route but it shows it on the gps and you can improvise as you want.
My Mods:
Elka Stage 5 rear shock with spring preload adjust
Monster Stage 2 ECU
Pedal Commander
RLS cat delete
Baja Ron sway bar
Baker Air Wings upper and lower
Viking saddle bags
Third pegs
Vredestein tires front and rear
Mad Stad windshield
X-creen windshield deflector
Front and rear drive cam
Garmin Zumo XT
Heated gear wiring
Lamonster LED headlights
Lamonster LED foglights
Lamonster frame mount cupholder
BRP heated handgrips
Lamonster drivers backrest
BRP passenger backrest
Lidlock handlebar end helmet locks
Barkbusters Storm handguards

Most use Rever for tracking and can be used for navigation (if you download the map for your ride) Calimoto is kinda pricy and I don’t know anyone that uses it.
Rever came out with a GoPro feature where it can turn on and start recording for you. It’s great when you get a nice road and forget to turn the camera on. They app does it.

I agree, Ray, but not ALL GPS phone apps are a work in progress. There are a couple of GPS phone apps that are fully developed, like Sygic and TomTom, and save you buying a dedicated GPS……but yes, they cost.
