biker phone apps....

Guys, what apps do you use on your phone,or tablet, on your bike? I have changed the pulleys and back tire so now my speedo is not even close! 100 miles on the stock odometer is 123 on the gps. So I made a mount to hold a android phone over the bar clamps and use a app called -DigiHUD - for a gps speedo. It has digital speed, a battery indicator, max speed, clock, compass direction of travel, and 3 tripmeters -a-b-&c. Battery lasts 6-7 hours during the day with the screen at full bright to see, 10-11 hours at night with the screen dimmed.

Also have a map app called -Navmii - with Fla & Ga maps downloaded so I can use it offline.
And the MagicJack app so I can use it like it was my home phone whenever I'm on wifi.
Of course the flashlight app can come in handy too.

O.K. what have you guys found that is useful on or for the bike?

I have a program called "Eat, Sleep, Ride" on my Iphone.

It does display an active map while you are riding - but no speed. When the ride is over it will show you a lot of data about the ride including time, total length, maximum lean angle, maximum speed, and you can display and review the map of where you traveled. You can share these rides on the Eat,Sleep, Ride forum......most folks don't bother.

The app. is free - however if you subscribe to the "CRASH" feature, it can identify the physics of a crash, and if you don't respond to the request the phone makes.....it will call for help and identify your location.

For my Iphone 4 - it is necessary to have the phone connected to a charger when on the bike, as any navigation program really uses the battery quickly.

I have an old android phone I don't use anymore and will download digiHud for it. I use a Garmin on my Guzzi and digiHud sounds like it would be perfect for my S40. I hope some more people will post some apps so I decided to bump this thread back up to the top.

I have an old Garmin in that same place and run it off one of the front running light wires by way of an accessory plug (good for charging phone sometimes too).

GPS Speed , Directions , speed limit display, compass , and a lot more ... They are all over Ebay delivered to you door for under $30.oo ... Wink

and who cares if the maps are 100% up to date , they are close enough 99.9% of the time and the speedometer is always right.

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.
