Cellphone app to track your ride route/time/distance

[QUOTE=Fox Wood Farm;7034452]
Can anybody comment on how well any of these various programs handle riding in heavily wooded areas? I guess that is probably more a function of what type of phone you are using and its particular GPS capabilities… Quite a few years ago, before smartphones, I bought a GPS made for hikers, hoping I could map trails and specific foxhunting routes. I found out really quickly that I lost signal so often that tracking became really poor. Our hunt country has lots of hills, not so great cell signal reception and lots of trees. I gave up on that GPS long ago, but am now really interested in this thread because I would like to try again using my iPhone.

Thanks if anybody has any suggestions![/QUOTE]

Everytrail on my Motorola Electrify worked great today, in the Great Smoky Mountains. There’s no cell service, and the foliage is extremely thick. I was impressed with how well it worked on this ride.

I just bought this app after seeing a friend post a track on facebook using it.

I have not used it yet, but I love the idea of being able to have each horse’s rides and mileage kept separately along with ground conditions, weather,etc. I have been using Gaia, which is wonderful but just records your trail with time, distance, speed, etc.

Oh, that equitrack app looks like it could be super cool. I may have to spend the $$ to try it out. If they upgraded it to include logging all vet, shoeing, etc info and allowed for scheduling those as reminders…it could be the perfect app.

Thanks for sharing!

I like Endomondo, though I wish I could mark way points on it. I have a friend who uses Equitrail, and likes it. I may try it out too.
