I finally got a chance to try out the updated version of the "Cue Sheet" app I downloaded about a week or so ago. I'll cut to the chase and just say that I'm very impressed. The verbal prompts are right on cue and come up to give you multiple warnings before approaching the next turn. I almost forgot how easy it is to download a route on "Cue Sheet". That's because once you set the route up on "ridewithGPS" and save it, all you have to do is press the "my rides" button on the app and all of your saved routes are automatically listed. Then all you have to do is press on which one you want. Stupid simple...I likey stupid simple.
There was only one minor oddity while I was doing my local test loop, at one point the map had me riding on the sidewalk for about 200ft. No sure why that was but not really a big deal. For the most part the tracking was much better than the original app. The map orientation takes getting used to because it does not shift as one would expect with POV ( as with Google navigation ). No big deal really because your position is clearly shown at all times with a big blue arrow indicating direction.
Almost forgot to add that there is no reason to hit the "next button" as with the previous version as the app automatically moves the map along as you go. You still have the the "previous" and "next" buttons though just in case you do something wrong.
The only other minor inconvenience was that the Android screen powers down if it is not being used. Not a big problem because the app continues to run and give verbal prompts. You can always turn the screen back on at any time.
The verbal prompts are quite detailed and will usually give you the name of the road you need to turn on ( or the name of the road you need to be heading toward ). Using my "Bikase" cell phone holder/case ( encloses the phone ) it is not so easy to hear the verbal prompts with heavy traffic going by but no big deal because you still have all the info on the Android ( easy to read ) screen.
I consider this first test run a success. Can't wait to see how it works when I'm out in the boonies.
