This pre-assumes that Google-Maps routing is always right. And from experience - no it ruddy well isn't. I just stop and ask the nearest Policeman, Taxi Driver, Lollipop Lady or roaming alcoholic. OK the latter is as reliable as Google - but way more fun.
ime here (and Spain has one of the highest per capita Smart Phone ownerships) - the relationship of Smart Phones to owners seems to be directly and proportionally inverse. The Dumber the user the more likely the phone is to be High End. Mostly to "network and play games" - D'uh!.Strange how all the post Baby Boomers claim we Baby Boomers have all the capital but not the 'smarts'
I tried rever for awhile. I see that a lot of people use it. I found it's operation to be very frustrating. I tend to build my routes based on twisties etc. I recently (tried) used it on a 1800 mile trip that began in Minn and ended in southern Idaho. I chose routes that included places like Spearfish, cody, beartooth highway, yellowstone etc. I built the route OK, but when weather forced us to chose another route because beartooth highway was closed, thats when things went "hinky". It became very frustrating trying to do that on the roadside. Ultimately, I used "Waze", which is still my favorite and it's free. Not designed specifically for motorcyclists, it is still the best I've found. It uses "crowd-sourcing". Other users of the app can notify the "crowd" of all manner of issues. Construction, road closures, police traps, road hazards, stalled vehicles, accidents, and it even allows the users to leave notes for others like "stay in the left lane" in traffic situations. All in real time, and all on your smartphone. The app provides voice instructions, and that includes the notifications I just mentioned. I use it extensively in my day-to-day, and it is my "go-to" app for motorcycle trips. Many, many more features than I have listed (nearest gas, restaurants, etc). The only thing it lacks (mind you, it's a free app) is map downloads. In other words, once you fall outside cell service you have to stay on the route as it is unable to download changes. The maps will still guide you because it loads the route, you just cant make changes in the middle of BFE and expect it to guide you.
