You can visit the website first to see for yourself and then load the app. from whatever app. store you have access to.

I already have a GPS. Stopped using it as well as smartphone apps. Too many things to turn on and off. Too many things on my handlebar.

Freeranger:

I found those too. Not interested in speedometers. Too many things on my handlebar. That's why I wrote to BikeForums 50+ in case older riders will remember exactly what I'm describing.

Ogsarg: Thanks. I'll look into it.

Thank you for all your input.
