Does anyone here use a ride app on their smart phone?

Wow. Paper map and a beer and nine times out of ten we get there. The 1% of the time we get lost has turned out to be a lot of fun. I still really like the opening scene in the movie easy rider where the guy tosses his watch before taking off. Just food for thought.
 
Since buying a few tickets to the Policemans ball I have started using Sygic Speed Camera app (and subscribing to updates). I have my phone on a handle bar mount and sometimes connect with bluetooth headset to ensure I am aware of speed and light cameras as well as school zones.

Not sure where you live and ride, but I could see where that might be a good idea in some areas. Out here in the western US, there are stretches of highway where you can ride "balls to the walls" and never worry about such restrictions. This is quite common where I live. We usually know where both cops are. ;)

Live just outside Melbourne and commute daily across the city (approx 100ks each way). Plenty of wide open spaces but of late more restrictions ( money makers) are being put in place.
 
Aahh! The eternal Baby Boomer / Gen X / Gen Y generational divide.
Strange how all the post Baby Boomers claim we Baby Boomers have all the capital but not the 'smarts' :D

Dumb money rules :whitstling::whitstling:

I used to plan, operate and manage field staff to cover and enumerate 1,000,000 sq km in light aircraft and 4x4 over 6 months every five years while doing up to 20,000 mile in a 4x4 myself. I used knowledge, field experience, maps and a map wheel to plan itinerarys and work programs for six staff employing hundreds of subordinates to conduct population census in remote and urban areas. All without an app or internet.
You had to go through all that to find 3 or 4 blokes ???
