Iphone Nav App suggestion please.

I've been using Memory Map for a long time but it has a basic flaw. You can't orientate the map in the direction you are heading. It only maps North South as far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong. Now I have a small Tomtom watch as my main nav following a bread crumb trail prepared on Memory Map but now that we have loads of leaf cover on the woods, it has so much lag that finding the right trail is becoming a pain.

The Iphone however uses telephone mast postion as well as GPS and is much more accurate and without the lag. Can you guys suggest an equivalent or better than Memory Map which will give me the map orientation in the direction you are heading ?

X2 for Gaia. It’s fantastic. I use it for MTBng and off roading in the 4x4.

Komoot is very good, but I would suggest getting a Garmin Edge Explore, not that expensive and very very good. even connects to your Ebike and gives you vital data.

If you want to stay with the phone, try the Ordnance Survey app. Monthly sub but you can download maps and log routes...

+1 Komoot - Best one I've tried for a phone app by far only minor issue I found was it sometimes takes you on footpaths but it seems to be a common issue on the apps.

I thought Komoot was quite nice. I did try the widget for the Fenix which just annoyed me as it was hopeless at following a track, I wonder how it is on the edge?

I may buy the fuller mapping for Komoot but I’m a bit oversubscribed on mapping already maybe ?

I use Komoot to plan routes in conjunction with UK footpaths, bridleways and byways online map | FootPathMap.co.uk so I can stick to mainly bridleways and then send it to my Wahoo Elemnt Roam.

I’ve tried lots of different methods but find this system works great for me. I wouldn’t attach my phone to the bike because that could end up being expensive if it ended up on the floor!

I use Komoot, especially to create gpx for my garmin. Have a look on Bikemap, it's really interesting
