Yamaha "My Ride"

[RossKean]

Smartphone app

Looks interesting. From the comments in the Google Play store, it seems that it is still in development but might be fun to try.

Sounds nice. If you have a smart phone with Google maps your history is there.

Tap settings. scroll down. Google Services & preferences. then location. Google Location History. Bottom. Manage Timeline. Map will appear. Shows everywhere you have been . Date mileage map. Mine only goes back 45 days. Tracks everything. Google is watching. Don't really like being tracked. Told me I was motorcycle riding in one section. Twisty road and was pushing it... AHHHHH

Isn't that what the Tracks on my Garmin are?

Yeah, but the Garmin isn't hooked up to Mother Google on the Internet. Different kind of tracking. More intrusive.

Not the app to have for those that lead a life of crime.... or so I hear.

Tried the app today for fun. Left it running while I was on and off the bike for one extended stop and two shorter ones. Perhaps 4 hours total, and about 230 kms. Checked the app's trip summary when I got home. Among the hilarious results: total distance 1100 kms, top speed of 106 kmh and average speed of 175 kmh. Apparently the app requires an operator who's flexible about time and space.

Aside: my extended stop was at the DreamCycle Museum at Sorrento BC. Very nice. Worth a mention to anyone who might find time during CFR 2018. https://dreamcycle.ca/

I like the app. Although, the first two times I tried to save the ride it didn't and I lost data. After that though, it's been working coolio.

I used it at SEOR last week. Worked pretty well. Just remember to switch from C to F and kilometers to miles in the settings.

Their web site only has a few photos of the bikes. Here are a couple more. https://postimg.cc/image/x4o2et8y3/ postimg.cc/image/b6rll1osr/ Not sure if it's mentioned on the web site, but visitors get a digital tour guide with specific info on each bike. You also get a peek inside the restoration area. One could spend a lot of time at DreamCycle.

Just downloaded it, am curious to compare my experience with yours.

Has anyone figured out how to delete a 'saved' ride? It's knocking my balls south by northwest...
