    This sounds interesting. Please let us know how it goes. Is there a lite version of the app to try first?

    The yearly subscription comes with a two-week free trial. I will try it out and report back to see if it is worth it. I will be using it my car, however ... salt and sand still interfering with the second ride of the new year.

    I see that Wingstuff now has the same units on sale for the same prices. It must be a promotion of some kind by Garmin.

    The places and roads I prefer to ride, phone gps' and signals get lost. A satellite based gps works much better than a phone gps, imo. I would think the app needs your gps on, I just wonder how well that would work on remote rides?

    Phone based GPS uses the same signal as a stand-alone GPS unit. I know I am able to use GPS-based only apps on my iPhone when no data or voice signal is available.

    This app claims to not need a data signal, only GPS.

    My android phone gps loses signal quite frequently, even in the middle of Dallas/Ft Worth.
