Review before you allow me to see the app?

Asked for a review before I was even able to look at the app.

Very pleased

Very pleased

Needs to work the bugs out

Cannot control volume on app. Could not hear directions. It had me turn down a dead end street. It totally missed a detour that was not temporary. Took me onto main drag during “curvy” ride. There was some delay in directions too

No carplay

While Cardo Ride has worked great for my trip planning and tracking I discovered it does not work with my recently purchased CarPlay screen.

Please add Apple CarPlay

This app has everything I need in a navigation app. Groups….curvy routes….auto loop generation…..importing and exporting….3d ride reviews….AWESOME!!

The one thing it’s missing is CarPlay connectivity. I keep my phone in my pocket and I’m tired of running two apps all the time.

5 stars once implemented.

PS. I emailed the dev team.

Best motorcycle app

I tried Calimoto, Rever and Detecht - and Cardo Ride is by far with the best routing and navigation.

Limited App

The application software is very limited in the functionality

Cardo, good! Route directing, awful!

Love that it’s part of Cardo, I really want to use it. After planning a circular route and following it for 30 mins, there’s a road closure. I don’t turn off as the route says, I carry on. For some reason, this app sees that as a chance to RESET THE ENTIRE ROUTE and send me somewhere else entirely. This happens every time I do a circular route, if I go the wrong way just once it resets the route length, time, locations visited, all of it. It’s unusable! I just want to be navigated back to the route I was on, not have another one planned that won’t loop me back to where I started!

Cardo ride

Awesome apps

Doesn’t find curves

Doesn’t know actual curvy roads.

Fake 30 day trial

Je me suis inscrit avec un QR code inclus avec mon système Cardo qui disait « Scan for 30 day free pro trial » It’s only 3 day…

Good maps, poor connectivity

Firstly the actual routes this kicks out are great! I just wish it was CarPlay compatible. I used this during my trip to France, and had to rely on the audio as it wouldn’t go through to my Innovv screen. If that gets sorted, I’d definitely continue after the trail

Garbage

I live in Northern California, and we have a lot of great back roads that are twisty to tiny little towns and even though you can see them on the map you can’t actually map it out on Cardo Ride ridiculous

No Yamaha XT225?

I was wanting to use this app but it doesn’t have one of my motorcycles: 2000 Yamaha XT225. I know I could still try it… but I would have to call it something else!

No CarPlay = useless

I downloaded this recently and found it very easy to use, however without CarPlay - this is a pointless app. Ill have to find another app that works with CarPlay

Good route planning, but poor navigation.

Good route planner, but poor navigation. Ive just used Cardo Ride on a week long solo trip around Yorkshire and found the route planning side of the app very good for the most part. It took me through some excellent roads that I would not have otherwise have found and I was able to live share my location with family as I was travelling.
The navigation aspect of the app, however, featured some quite big issues.

1. Missing address/postcode. I was not able to search for my home street using either postcode or even by manually typing the address. I had to search for a nearby supermarket and manually drop a pin. I also can’t seem to find a way to set this as my home location, so I have to do this every time. This is a pretty basic thing that most free apps get right.

2. Roundabouts. The instructions for roundabouts are really inconsistent. Several times I would come up on an unfamiliar roundabout and the only information the app would give me was the street name that I needed to exit on. For example, I might need to take the third exit on the A1234 for Newcastle and all the app would tell me is “Green Street”. That isn’t helpful! Tell me the road number so I can follow the road signs, or, better yet, tell me which exit to take! (Or maybe even both at the same time!) This problem was exacerbated by the default zoom level (which the app constantly insisted on reverting back to) being way too close in to see where the route was going before I was already on most large roundabouts and by the next problem:

3. Location Accuracy. Probably the biggest problem with the navigation was that the app was always at least 30-50 yards behind my road position. I missed several turns because they hadn’t yet appeared on screen by the time I was going past them! When there were multiple turns within a hundred yards of each other, I might as well have flipped a coin to pick a turning. At one point where I had missed several turnings in a row, I thought it could have been an issue with the phone’s location services, so switched over to Waze and found that the location on there was extremely accurate, so it is definitely an issue with the app. Again this is a basic thing that most free navigation apps do to have an issue with.

4. Fuel Stops. I don’t know if this is a feature that is in there somewhere and I just haven’t been able to find it, or if it is actually absent. Whenever I was getting low on fuel I had to switch over to Waze to find a fuel station because there were no results for services/fuel/petrol that came up when I searched on the Edit Route screen of the app. Given the type of app this is, there really should be a quick and easy way to search for the nearest fuel station, divert to that, and then return to the preplanned route.

5. Speed limits. I know not to rely on an app for speed limits, but there were multiple occasions this app told me I was in a 60 limit, and it was actually a 40. These weren’t temporary speed limits, and from the looks of the roads and signs they weren’t terribly new either.

Overall this app has some great potential and is great for logging, planning, and sharing my trips but the app’s navigation was probably the most frustrating part of an 850 mile wet and windy trip!
Personally I’m not overly interested in the social media side of it, but I can see why many people would be. That said, the live sharing/tracking of my location is good, and I’ll be using it to plan my next trip. Just *please* sort some of these basic issues out!

Pas mal

Dommage que ce soit pas en français

Disappointed

After reading all the great reviews, I was really disappointed - set myself a super twisty route that didn’t come close to choosing the best riding options. The worst bit for me was the mapping , clunky, the view wasn’t good enough to sense where I was going and where stock apps like Google maps, Waze etc show smooth lines that help you set up for bends …. Cardo was like join the dots. What a shame . Love the idea of the App - just missed the mark

Great but…

I enjoy using app! It has a great round trip generator as well as a great map display, complete with speed, speed limit

Unfortunately, I have not been able to access riser from CarPlay, so it can’t use it on my bikes with a phone-fed displays.

Address

Can’t to add an address in the uk
