Hi,
Here's the deal: I have taken up mountain biking and right now I'm doing some road cycling for fitness. At the weekends I have a friend joining in as well - problem is that she tends to be slower than me and so I lose her from time to time. The real problem is that her sense of direction is really quite bad so if I do lose her, she gets stuck. We're using Strava (awesome app) to record the rides themselves but what I would like to know is:
Is there an app available for her iphone that is capable of importing a kml route from google earth or similar (even .gpx), that can give her audible directions to keep her on the pre-planned route?
I was hoping the tomtom software or similar could do it but I sent her a kml file to test and she tells me it isn't working. Obviously her gps software can guide her but it'd help a whole lot if it could direct her along the route.
Thanks.
