Getting Started
Open the link in your welcome email to download the app. From there, setup takes just a few minutes.

Use the Chat tab to message your guides directly, read announcements, or connect with your group.
2 Connect Your Navigation
Under Trip Items, tap the Ride with GPS link to access your route maps. Download each route for offline use. This ensures navigation works in areas without coverage.
3 Create Your Free Account
When prompted, sign up for a free Ride with GPS account. Your tour includes complimentary premium access. If you see a subscription offer, simply tap Skip.
Once confirmed, all your daily routes will be available in the Ride with GPS app, ready to navigate or download.
Hiking
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)
The mobile app is entirely optional. Paper maps and cue sheets are always available, and all important messages are also sent by email.
