Running the phone in airplane mode also extends battery life significantly. Users can save rides offline, save offline maps and run in airplane mode for those more remote rides.Ī few of these features are part of our PRO package. The app uses the GPS signal in this case. You can track rides and navigate rides without using cellular. If I am using my phone, do I always have to have a phone signal if so, will it use all my data? The learning curve to get the most out of this latter option requires a few extra steps, but once set up properly works quite well. Users who wish to use a GPS device such as a Garmin can do so by exporting GPX files to the unit. We are also Apple CarPlay compatible which has a very slick interface. We are working hard with our mapping provider to improve the experience for our users and in the near future allow them to use Turn-by-Turn navigation off-road, too. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is a work in progress this feature works very well for simple rides with less than 25 waypoints and rides that don’t have off-road sections. Outside of the ride planner, most of REVER’s focus is on the mobile experience.
Most new features are released on the mobile platform first and then find their way onto the desktop. There are a few subtle differences between the two platforms. The single biggest advantage that REVER has over other apps is the planning website, which allows users to plan custom rides on any surface type and then navigate that ride on a mobile device.Īre there any variations in what I’ll see between using REVER on the desktop, tablet, or phone app version? REVER’s co-founder, Justin Bradshaw, was also a founder of Butler Maps and saw the need to create a mobile application specifically for motorcyclists, to help them find places to ride, track those rides and then share them with riding buddies. Tell me a little about REVER, why it was developed, and what are the benefits of the system? and off I went.īut when I got back after the first few rides I had a few questions, ones that were a little deeper than the FAQ’s, so I contacted REVER directly for the answers. I’d mounted the Quad Lock on the bars to keep my phone safe and secure. Regardless of what I put my search criteria as, REVER consistently popped up as the answer! So once things opened up a little I was back on the bike and then trying it out for all of its various capabilities. I looked around to see if could find an app that would combine all or most of these in one place and maybe give me a few additional benefits.
I found my phone was packed with various apps for different types of navigation, weather, ridden routes with video, photo tagging, buddy rider tracking… and on and on. During the pandemic I found myself using my phone more and more.
