About Ride with GPS

Ride with GPS is a platform built specifically for cyclists. It lets riders discover routes anywhere in the world, plan their own, and navigate on the go with a mobile app. The company says a community of millions of riders uses it, and a large library of cycling routes can be searched with filters, photos and user reviews.

The Route Planner is its main tool, offering mapping and editing features for creating, modifying and sharing custom routes, and a mobile planner brings the same ability to a phone. During a ride, turn-by-turn voice navigation gives audible and visual cues even over the lock screen, and the apps sync with Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead and other devices. A QuickNav feature handles everyday tap-and-go directions. Ride with GPS also sells organization plans. It is a hosted service with a free sign-up.
