Features
Read full description

This application can be used with TranzX E-Bikes only. TranzX E-Bikes support Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, which allows this app - specially developed for the system - to communicate with the bike and its display. Performance data from the drive system can therefore be combined with the intelligent processing system of the smartphone. This enables a considerably more accurate calculation and display of the remaining range and other values. The shared information can be shown on both displays. When the two devices are paired, the E-Bike display will move into an advanced presentation mode, so that it can show additional functions. The smartphone can then either be mounted on the handlebars as well, to supplement the E-Bike display with an extended functionality, or be kept in your pocket. One of the most important additional functions is navigation, which is provided via the smartphone app. Routes are calculated depending on the range still available and the resulting support mode, then step-by-step direction instructions with distance information will be shown on the E-Bike display. Main Features: - Online via the smartphone data connection, or offline, primarily via OpenStreetMaps - Routing and navigation with optional altitude profile - GPX Track Management: save, import, and share routes - Point-Of-Interest (POI) search and directions

WristRoute Lite is a standalone Apple Watch GPS application for hiking, biking, and other offline activities. Neither the iPhone or Internet is needed for field operation. WristRoute Lite can read GPX files containing waypoints, routes, and tracks. Download a GPX file for an upcoming hike, load it on your watch, and now you can follow the route line on a map, or track your uphill progress against an elevation profile. WristRoute uses the latest generation of topographic maps from the USGS: US Topo. Outside the continental United States an OpenStreetMap derived map is used. Maps are cached for offline use. WristRoute is designed for all day use with battery saving options. GPS Battery Saver turns on the GPS only as needed. Map display can also be turned off, displaying just GPX route lines and waypoints. This free LIte version does not include ability to export watch created waypoints and tracks or to bulk cache maps. Please upgrade to full version (not "Lite") to use those features.
