Hey Chilipepper,

Sorry to be clearer, I live in Ft Lauderdale and ridden 16 FL trails. Nearly all of them multiple times.

I’m interested in your list and other rider lists to see if I’ve missed anything worthwhile. Maybe something near Tallahassee or North Port.

I don’t leave the screen on, giving longer battery life, only check it when I’m at a junction. Thanks for the RAM reccomendation.

Directions for importing gpx files:
1. download the file to your computer
2. attach one file per email and send to [email protected]
3. you receive a reply email, open it on your iphone.
4. On your iphone click the link provided in the email
5. it automatically opens MotionX and gives you a summary of the files to import
6. select "import now" – done!

Used Motion X GPS on an iPhone 4 through a four state trip. Kept it in my camelback and it always held a track. Got about 5 hours a day with it. If you already have an iPhone, you can’t beat the $2.99 price over a Garmin.

Loved it so much, I’m getting a bike mount. I just like it for rough estimates and to keep from getting lost. I’ve never checked how exact it is to position and distance compared to Garmin. I’ll bet even Garmin isn’t as good for speed and distance as a cat eye.

Tips: Import the gpx files available on singletracks, then "follow" the track on your ride. You’ll always know which branch to take. You can also download "offline" maps ahead of time if you don’t have a gpx trail map available for areas you won’t have signal on.

Also let’s you take photos of "waypoints" you can label if you don’t visit the trail often.
