johnwoodman78 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I'm looking for an android app where my wife can check on my position while out riding alone. There are a few of these around. The additional thing would be crash detection with notifications sent to emergency contacts. I've found a couple on Google play, does anyone else use an app they can recommend?
Allrounder Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 we use an old iphone with a shared apple id. and then find my phone works well. Does not have the crash detection...
coppi Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I use WhatsApp tracking............. anybody seen george? 1
mecheng89 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I use WhatsApp tracking.............LOL WUT, didn't know such a thing existed... Long Wheel Base 1
Skinnyone Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Strava premium has a tracking function... Crash detection not sure of...
Lurch the stalker Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Somebody here developed an app like this, but the name slips my mind now. Edit: Shake2Alert Edited January 9, 2018 by Lurch the stalker
dave303e Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 anyone who has had a discovery insurance tracker in their car will kno whwy crash detection is not really viable, especially on a mtb...google maps also can share location very well for any android phone.
coppi Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 LOL WUT, didn't know such a thing existed... Me neither, until my teenager showed me
Outriding Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I use garmin live tracker on all my rides, no crash detection but wife can see when i stop and exactly where i am including HR and speed
Schnavel Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 If you have one of the newer Garmins, such as the 520, you can share a live track with your wife of every ride so she can monitor where you are at all times. Furthermore, it also has the incident detect function which works really well! Jehosefat 1
ShanRam Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The newer Garmins have have live tracking and crash detection
Long Wheel Base Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Me neither, until my teenager showed me Tell us more. I also have never heard of this.
ShanRam Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I use WhatsApp tracking............. LOL WUT, didn't know such a thing existed... Here is how to do it: https://blog.whatsapp.com/10000634/Share-your-live-location very useful but alas, no crash detection Frosty, coppi and Long Wheel Base 3

I've only managed to trigger it twice, once with an OTB in a rock garden and the second time when I lost the front wheel landing a jump (both were pretty severe crashes, fallen off a many times without triggering it). Even when it gets triggered, you have 60 seconds to stop it before it actually alerts your emergency contacts. Pieterlab1 1
