Lots of potential. Positives: Navigation is nice, knows all the bike lanes. Stats are nice for nerds like me. It's nice to try something different than google maps for a change. Negatives: Very slow refresh of your position which often results in you thinking you took a wrong turn, recalculating takes forever. Unnecessary turns. Not totally the app's fault but I crashed because where I was didn't match with what was on my screen, so after looking for too long at my screen I tripped and fell.

Nice app, some suggestions for improvement: - to access recorded tracks, have to tap user name, could be more intuitive with owb menu item - avg speed is shown when track recording ends, but not accessible any more later - option to choose storage place, e.g. external memory card would be nice. I ran out of space and track was not saved without notice - no option to delete or annotate recorded tracks

Bonjour Martin ! Merci pour votre retour. Nous prendrons en compte vos idées. La vitesse moyenne réapparaîtra lors des prochaines versions. Concernant le stockage des données de l'application, nous réfléchissons à leur gestion pour faciliter l'utilisation. Enfin, il sera aussi possible de supprimer des traces de ses stats à la prochaine version !
