    will be available to use to navigate using your phone.

    Oh wow! Nick you're a life saver! I had no idea there were 2 apps. I never heard or saw that mentioned as 2 separate apps. I guess that should maybe be more clear. Having that mentioned in the tutorials early on would help a lot of people that are looking to possibly download and or purchase the app. Ok so I have it working on my phone so I will test tomorrow am on my way to work. I hope this works. I'll be happier than a kid on christmas ha ha.

    Thanks!

    Can you tell me which tutorials specifically you read? Perhaps the staff can edit them to make it more clear. That said, I hope you have a lot of riding fun with the Navigation app! Feel free to share your experiences once your done 😂

      Hi Timo, I watched the 6 youtube videos with Serge. I thought those would be the best. They move pretty fast and cover a lot. I paused and went back several times. I may have missed some things but I tried not to. It's a lot of info to take in quick for sure. They are pretty good videos but I think they can focus better on the exact way to get it onto your phone. I think that would have helped a lot. Thank you both for the help once again!

        @Roger-l I'm glad to read that, Serge sometimes does move pretty fast, but the essence of those videos was also to cover everything from the start up. That said, in hindsight we might indeed have started off with "hey there, before we do anything else please note that there are two apps! Here's what they do". As these videos get updated relatively regularly I'll note this one down somewhere to add in.

          Sounds Excellent, I'm sure that may help some others.

            Oh, One quick question. Can you drive a route that you have created in reverse if you want to follow the same route back?

              Hi @Roger-l with a gold membership yes. Always check routes that you reverse for one way streets, dual carriageways etc.

                Well I am glad I read this post as I also didn't know about a separate app to navigate using the phone.

                  Most Garmin satnav support route map functionality.

                  I have a guide for getting a map onto a Garmin or tomtom on the club website I run.

                  Https://www.eatoc.org.uk/routes2.shtml

                  It was designed for absolute beginners hence the large number of photos

                    I have bought All In One MyRoute app, thinking I get the ability to create routes and use either my Garmin or phone to navigate. Is this correct or do I also need to buy the Navigation app for my phone as well?

                      No you don’t need to buy the navigation app, the link I posted above shows you how to get a route onto your Garmin satnav. I have used a Garmin 2598 with myrouteapp for the last 2 years until the rain killed it (open kit car and very bad weather so replaced it with a Nuvo 3xx series (waterproof)

                        To navigate using your mobile phone, you will need to download MyRoute-app Navigation from Google Play or the Apple Store for iPhones.

                          Correct, The "Navigation" app is a 2nd app and it's free! I'm proud to say I know that now :). I am only using my Cell phone. My GPS looks to be too old and doesn't see the map after the connector pushes the map to it. So, I will just use the phone.
                          Anyway..... Any quick tips on how to run a Route in reverse on a call phone?

                            @Roger-l In the navigating app, from the first screen, choose Route Planning. Select the route that you would like to reverse. With that route open, select the drop down tool kit and choose reverse. Check your route before using it for route points that may now be on the wrong side of a dual lane or one way street. This is all easier to do on a PC or mac or even an iPad as the screens are that much bigger. The reversed route will be on your phone via the cloud if you use the PC to edit a route.
