Help from cyclists who use iphones?
Does anyone know a good app where i can put in a destination and it'll tell me where to go through good cycle routes and NOT take me on to motorways which also speaks and tells me where to go. I've tried apple and google maps but they either take me onto motorways ( i'm on my bike so i can't go on motorways ) or doesn't have a voice that will tell me where to go because i'm on my bike and i can't keep looking at my phone for directions.
Please help?
Added (1). Johnnm - I'm training for a cycle in september and i'm thinking of cycling to murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh as thats part of the cycle in september but i don't know how to get there and as i'm cycling on the road i can't have my phone in my hand all the time.

How are you going to get lost on your bicycle? Most people have favorite routes that they like no need for a stupid iphone. Carry a phone for emergency purposes. You can down load routes that other people ride and post on Map My Ride.

Google maps!

I leave my phone at home. Maybe take it in a pannier bag in case of emergency.
Probably not an app you need but something like a Garmin Freerunner where you can plan a route on Google Earth and transfer it to the device. Don't expect spoken directions though.
Tomtom, who seem to know about cycle routes I think do an iphone app, but battery life might be a problem
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why don't iPhones work well? IPhones break easily and are laggy? Hi. I have an iPhone 5 and I have many problems with it. Whenever I type on my iPhone 5, the texts that I type come out like 5 seconds after I type them. It's very unresponsive and lagging. My previous iPhone broke in just 2 years. Is Nokia a better brand than Apple?
- Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
- What is a good iPhone app for cyclists? I want an iPhone app that tells you how far you have biked. Maybe some extra features like avg speed or a trail locater. If you can please write next to the name if it is free or not
