Are you using a GPS on your bike?

Haven't tried that app, but it looks interesting.

How far do you go on a tank of gas?

the App is not in the app store you must buy it.. I have many copies if you want me to give ya dropbox links.. works best for 1024x res or 1080 higher is a pain. it is a great map program with great features. bike gets about 390km to about 11L I never gone to the point of it using all 14L. Plus depends on how I ride or the wind etc..

Have you tried Here maps? It's free and you can download map.sections. Does routing and is pretty quick.

I tried it once. did not like how it was layed out.. This gives great live detours and traffic updates. also if you go off route it suggest gas stations and food automatically. also will call the numbers of the POI via phone.

So it requires a data plan?

Pretty impressive mileage with your bike. That's a good cruising range.

no data needed I run this off a 100$ samsung tablet. all it needs is GPS/ the Traffic can be picked up before hand or via WIFI Hotspot if wanted. I have Shaw Go Wifi so in the city it grabs it off the stores around town and updates me

BC is so nice. It's great that the weather has been spot on for you, albeit a little cold.
