Hmmmm. Or maybe just look up at the road/trail ahead. I mean, how much info do we really need, beyond basic guidance. I really think that providing way too much detail makes it too easy to ride the GPS instead of riding the real world out front. But hey, just my opinion.
Yeah I take your point SC, however it can be impossible to see around hilly corners, and I would prefer to have a premium navigation device which would reduce me injuring myself in a remote area.
Sure. Thing is, no nav device can truly provide the detailed info needed to navigate technical terrain. How would you ride a blind corner differently if you knew there was an incline? It can’t tell you what kind of surface or traction level there is. It can’t tell you if it is smooth, rutted, wet, dry, etc. You have to ride what you can see. No device can make those split second adjustments for you in real time, and looking down at the screen just increases the risk you will not see and adapt to what’s in front of you. ‘Riding the GPS’ is dangerous, and entirely misses the point of riding a motorcycle.
“slope angle” is a very powerful feature for difficult remote riding and is one of the most powerful features on another app. Dev is apparently implementing this and hopefully it will use coloring within the track line. …and this is something that is most useful when planning what your up against especially when you are losing light. Not something that is pertinent directly ahead of you.
