Just wondering is there an app for using with our ebikes?   :)

Nothing for the bikes per se.  I use https://osmand.net/ (https://osmand.net/) for navigation and discovering bike trails and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolniks.niksgps2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolniks.niksgps2) for GPS speedometer calibration now and then.

Yes. No special appl as JimInPT says.

I use Apple maps but Apple maps don't allow you to cruise.  So I set Apple maps to find my way home.  Then I see the street I am on and the app always points me the way home.

I tried to use Strava but that was too competitive.  I just want to ride around.  I don't want to be "King of the Mountain" or make a record for a segment but Strava is always bugging me.  Strava is more of a non-electric bike app.

If you're looking for a good app for trails near you. Look for TrailLink. It's part of Rails to Trails.

I love Strava. If you change your ride from a regular bike ride to an e-bike ride, all of that record nonsense goes away, because i don't believe they actually track that stuff for e-bikes.

Thank you for the tip.  I'll give it a try again.
