Once you’ve downloaded the app and connected it to your social networks, Timehop plods through your past photos, status updates, tweets, check-ins and posts. Basically a concise video ride report of the day.Delve into digital nostalgia with Timehop, which shows you what you were doing this day, exactly a year ago. Once you finish your ride it makes you a short video of the route and the photos along the way. When you stop to take a phone photo it registers that point, along the way it is also tracking your elevation profile too. How it works is, you turn it on, and as the GPS on your phone is always working it tracks you. There is an app called Relive its been around for a few years, mostly used by hikers and cyclists it seems but why not ADVriders? …but what if you could show all of that in a visual format and be able to share it as well? When you’ve finished your ride be it a day, week, month, or more how do you show people besides some lame Google maps link which you add the disclaimer, ‘it was sorta like this’.Īnd what if people ask where you took a photo can you tell them exactly, maybe, maybe not. Also, short videos specifically from Gaia GPS themselves like this one. There are numerous videos online, mostly on YouTube about the functionality and help of every sort. I contacted them and got an affiliate discount code for 20% off if anyone is interested to try the app for themselves.

Not all the features are in the free version, most are in the professional version which is obviously a paid product. I found it worked exceptionally well with the new Garmin ZumoXT. With options to add over 250 different map types all to your phone and then save tracks and routes to follow or send a GPX file to a dedicated GPS unit or print out a paper map or save dedicated offline maps, it’s all in the app.

GaiaGPS has been around since 2009 and perfected the app experience that crosses over to all your devices. We are in the information age and finding what you need is now easier than ever, options for directions and GPS type assistance are so numerous how do you choose one over another?
