This is in response to the guy who came off his bike and lay in a ditch for three days because the cops didn't look hard enough, thats him endorsing it on the home page.

Looks interesting - just installed it and will use it next time I go out. Most Google products are pretty awesome - can't wait to get my hands on some Google Glasses next year :D

Just stepped into the world of technology by downloading the google thingy. So I predict a week of fustration and getting really shirty over my inability to understand all things that are smarter than me. Mainly my phone.

PS Just found a button on my tv remote that I have owned for 3 years that jumps to previouse channel. I is now obsessed with pussing buttons. Not right in the head me thinks. :lol
-
I use My Tracks all the time, not just for biking, but cycling, country walks etc. It's great. Be aware though that it records maximum speed, so don't let the rozzers see it .....
I've also tried CRADAR, which covers the falling off bit. Instead of ringing the ambulance service it texts a number you choose (the wife ? :eek ) and tells them you've fallen off giving a location on Google maps. Has a similar 60 second 'cooling off' period where you can override before it transmits.
It also uses the phone's 'accelerometer' to detect a crash. I've tested it once so far, and it went off on a false alarm before I'd left the garage. Might require some fine tuning ......
-
You can tweak the sensitivity quite a lot with CRADAR. I like that it allows you to text a number of your choice but it kind of depends on whether you have someone reliable enough and sensible enough to entrust with your potential safety :P By this I mean, my friend knows to obviously try and call me first and to check Google Latitude to see if I am still moving before raising any alarm :)
-
I found cradar a bit weird. I'd set it going and when I went back to it would be back on the "start monitoring" option. Has this happened to either of you?
-
Hasn't happened to me before that I remember...
-
I haven't tried it again since I 'fell off' in the garage. Must give it another go.

That's not the wife then ...... :rolleyes

At 23, no :P Not even a girlfriend :(

Don't knock it. Kids, mortgages, holidays, expectations, socialising *shudder*. Marriage is good but definitely an acquired taste......give it another 10 years of freedom before you get hitched :lol
-
Wasn't knocking it, just saying that I'm yet to have found a partner to spend the rest of my life with and at 23 that's not overly surprising :)

Tried this out today and is accurate. Uploaded to goggle drive of which I need to learn how to use the PC side of things. On the phone you can play back on Goggle Earth and get real life road views. My phone can not down load the pics fast enough but considering it has potential. I will be using it over next couple of months.

I was just trying to point out that wives are not necessarily the most logical people when it comes to dealing with emergencies (in my experience :look )

:rollin I hadn't even noticed the playback button. It's awesome !. It looks like you're green laning due to the GPS fix timing. As the playback goes at the same speed you do sometimes it absolutely flies . I didn't half laugh.
-
Been using this myself, will be handy in the future as on more than one occasion I've gone out, gotten lost, found some awesome roads, then had absolutely no idea where they were to revisit them :P
-
I think I had better try my tracks now!

You really need to. Tis great. Try Cradar too.

The real rider app for Android is live, just downloaded mine, playtime!

Does anyone know if the google earth app can be played on PC and if so how? As dead eye I is always exploring and have been geographically challenged at times in some real nice places.

Download and install the Google earth app (search in Google) and you'll be able to export the routes you've travelled either via the sd card or Google drive.
GOogle earth exists for ios and Android too.
-
DB i would think you will have to download google earth and your tracks should be able to be viewed that way.......
-
Yes I already have google earth on my phone but would like to have it on my PC so I could view my tracks data on PC as the two apps drain my battery
Daz
-
Just download google earth onto pc and transfer the tracks to your pc and open then and it should all work together

https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/earth/index.html (https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/earth/index.html)
In My tracks you need to "save to external storage" (as KML) (then transfer via usb) or share privately via email (top right share icon) or send to google drive (top right, but in one, triangle shape).
I have no idea how to get it to play the same as it does in Android though.

Just need to try and get it to play now
Thanks Daz

In the left hand colom just above Earth is a button push that and it plays. I is well impressed. So we need to set up a bourd so we can share run outs as its a fantastic insight.
Daz

I got it to play but it doesn't look half as good as on the android phone, It doesn't seem to maintain a zoom on the location afaics. I'm gonna stick to using the S3 and keeping it charged ;-)
-
I just downloaded the Android version too. Need to try it soon. Working Sunday so later in the week maybe?

I have the galaxy S+ that's running android Ice cream 4.0.4 that I installed on it. Its processore and memory is not up to runing everything at the same time. But never the less I is well impressed.

Done a quick test with My Tracks on the way home tonight, pretty good, plays well on the phone and laptop......nice!
-
I wish we could share the results without any ahem issues.
