This riding app for iPhone looks like it would be great for gtr .... Take a look at the link to it I've just been playing with it.
A) ON AN IPHONE OR IPOD TOUCH? Check out the stretch of road, see ratings by other bikers, and read comments about the stretch.
- Get the Greatest Road iPhone app at http://greatestroad.com/GetApp/ if you don't have it already
B)Click here to see the ride in Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=13.65 ... 103.859880
C) ON A MAC, PC OR OTHER COMPUTER? Click here to get the gpx file: http://clutch.greatestroad.com/getStret ... 2&type=gpx . You can use this with Google Earth or a standalone GPS device that allows you to install it with desktop software and a USB/serial cable.
You might just be thinking "I can do all this with my Garmin map software that i already have on my computer". What makes this application interesting is the share-ability of the information, all your routes and comments are all in the same "folder" as other people have uploaded as well, for the location that you are interested in, all in the same easy digestible format.
This software is only a month old i think, so there's not much data uploaded yet (in fact i think i'm the 1st to upload something in Thailand), but over time it could be amazing.
