Greatest Road for iPhone/iPad - road finding app

[dpifko]

Hello all,

Long time lurker and BMW fan here.

I'd like to introduce you to the Greatest Road, a route-finding app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch where all rides have been contributed by other bikers. We released this app about a year ago and already have thousands of routes in the UK and 50+ other countries.

I thought now would be as a good a time as any, since we've put the app on sale to help load up your shiny new iPhones, iPads and iPod touches with the best motorcycling stuff. The app is on sale from now until the beginning of January.

Get the Greatest Road app for only £1.19 (equivalent elsewhere).

Visit http://greatestroad.com/GetApp to get to the App Store page or http://greatestroad.com .

If you haven’t seen it before, Greatest Road helps bikers find great places to ride based on recommendations from other bikers. It works in 50+ countries. There’s no recurring fee – just the (now ridiculously low) up front price.

Greatest Road has more 5-star reviews in the App Store than any other biker navigation app.

Some highlights of the Greatest Road:

> All routes displayed on an easy-to-read map
> Center the map on your location or move it anywhere you want
> Each route has a fun, twisty, scenic, and road surface rating
> Routes have been entered by other bikers. Add your own in minutes
> Send routes to any of your friends, even if they don’t have an iPhone/iPad
> Junk routes can be flagged for removal by anyone with the app

Here are some screen shots:

Good riding to you all (or, at least, dreaming of doing so when the snow melts),

Greatest Road iPhone app v2.0 + **FREE** for a limited time

Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce a few items today:

1. Greatest Road version 2.0 is now available in the iTunes App Store.

We've built Notifications into the app so you can keep track of stretches you like. You'll get something like the screen below when someone comments on a stretch you've marked to your Favorites, added yourself, or commented on previously. We have a few other ways in mind of using Notifications now that the app is "wired up" for it. There are also several bug fixes and, of course, the accumulated features from the last few releases.

2. For a limited time, Greatest Road is **free**

That's less than a tank of gas, by about a tank's worth. Go tell your friends, and add a zillion rides, in 50+ countries.

Get the app by clicking here:

3. The company is now called SocialNav, Inc.

On a different note, we've changed the name of the company to SocialNav. The whole idea behind this app and the others in the pipeline is bringing people together in the context of the activities they love. It's a social network for activities. In any case, we thought the name should reflect this view.

4. Android

Finally, for you Android fans, help is on the way. We're tantalizingly close to an Android version of the app. I'll post here when it's done.

Thanks for your continued support. We really appreciate it.

Good riding,

Daniel

Greatest Road for CrankPhones now available

CRANK OUT THOSE MILES!

Delivering on its promise to provide the best Social Navigation applications on all platforms, SocialNav Inc. today announced the availability of Greatest Road for Crankphones.

Greatest road is compatible with both the iCrank and all CrankDroid phones.

Solid Phones, Solid Performance

Using the same, community-generated approach to sharing rides as in other SocialNav apps, this version allows you to find or add your own routes around the country and the world. Use the touch-steel interface to design the route, and the crank to give a 1 to 5 bell rating for how fun, twisty, or scenic the ride is.

At Home or On The Road

Use the app at home or get a RAM-HORN mount and attach the phone to your bike for easy, en route navigation. Always know where the best places are, even when you're flying down the tarmac.
