MAKING THE MOST OF IT:

Navigation Help Resources: When you register for a Freewheeling adventure, you receive full premium access to the RWGPS app for the duration of your experience. This allows you full access to features you would normally need to pay for, like the ability to download routes/maps offline, access turn-by-turn custom cues, etc.

  1. Navigation and turn-by-turn cues.
  2. Tips and tricks for conserving battery life.
  3. Download routes/maps for offline use.
  4. Working with the mobile elevation profile.
  5. Managing your settings (If your app is showing the wrong distance metric – this can be adjusted in your personal phone’s RWGPS settings to be set to Metric, or Imperial, based you your location/preferences).

HIKING TOURS:

Despite the name Ride With GPS, which is clearly tailored to be a cycling app – we find it to be a very useful tool for our hiking trips, with some minor adjustments. The most effective being:

  1. Turn off the auto-pause feature in your settings (This is the biggest thing that will improve your hiking experience!).
  2. Ensure “Keep screen on” is toggled off in your settings (This will conserve battery life and allow you to pull out your phone and check anytime to make sure you’re on the right path).
