    MCN's iPhone ride tracker

    Any of you lads use this?

    http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ne...CN-Iphone-app/

    I used to use just a plain old Garmin and Motionbased, but MB went down and the new Garmin site is terrible. This one looks decent, is eight bucks, and can auto-share to things like Facebook and such.

    nopers...i downloaded another one: great roads, and have yet to use it. one of the vt dudes posted up about that one. it seemed rather difficult to make and save loops and share them, not too intuitive, but i'm a techno-retard, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Thanks for sharing! This will definatly come in handy when you find a sweet side road off your usual path when you're doing some touring and want to make sure you are able to find it again.

    I don't have an iPhone, but would love it (and gladly pay $10) if there was something like this for Android.

    Throw gyrometer support and lap timing and you have a powerful data logger for track use. well worth the 8 bucks though.

    Hm. It looks awesome on the phone, but the Facebook sharing sucks. No maps, no graphs, and basically just a spam post with two links to the app. It doesn't even seem like you can export the data to something like Google Earth, either.

    This wasn't my bike, btw, it was my ride home from work, heh.

    Just went into their website. Looks awesome. Too bad it doesn't support the iphone yet.

    I tried to get it for the last trackday but Google shopper wasn't cooperating so Idk how well it works. It looks good on paper.

    I have the MCN app and used it in the Dolomites. It's kind of fun, but nothing more.

    I got it to off one of the jailbreaking sites bike is not up yet so have not got a chance to test it but I will when the bike is running. Looks like a decent program has some nice options just wondering how accurate it is.
