Do you find the Garmin biking computers worth the cost? I have an Enduro 3, wish they would let you track the activity on the phone simultaneously. However, based on someone else’s suggestion, Bikemap has been a very good alternative for me so far.

I just wanted to loop back and thank you for the advice. I absolutely love the app and it’s worth the cost in my opinion. It’s also quite accurate in matching my Enduro.

WorkOutdoors looks sweet, if I had an Apple Watch I would absolutely grab it.

I might have too, I wonder if there is an option of turning off “abandoned railroads”. They just look almost the same as trails. I haven’t looked deep into it.

Worth the $50 a year? The interface looks beautiful, will need to try the trial once it cools down a bit so I can go for a ride. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you! Looks it like it uses the same maps source as Organic Maps. I like I can use it without having to pay. Will need to try tomorrow when I go out.

 

Evening folks!

Looking for some suggestions on a good bike route tracking app to use. I know of Strava and Komodo, but I’m aware they were bought out and therefore I don’t trust their data privacy. Any suggestions?

I use my Garmin Enduro to track my biking sessions, but look for something on my phone to for both a map during rides and being able to share routes. I saw there is TrailLink, which is great for finding trails but does not track. Tried OrganicMaps but it gets me lost as it keeps showing abandoned railroads that look like trails 🤣. The Aventon app is nice but it drains the battery super fast.

Thanks in advance!

I wish more individuals would switch over to Mastodon, especially on the edit and longer character limit capabilities. When I crosspost my FFXIV content to Bluesky, I have to consistently trim it down.

Probably not, but only on the principle of I’m trying not to have games on my phone. It does look very interesting, but I feel like it catered to individuals who might never played before.

Sometimes I find stuff that could be more systematic, like moving ~~surecast~~ Arm's length, and mess up my muscle memory for a while. But I think the general rule should be to make some rules that make intuitive sense to you, and try to follow those. You'll get it wrong from time to time, either not following a rule, or discovering that the rule was a bad idea.

I took this to heart today and played around with different layouts and found one I loved, in unison with the button chord. Essentially all spells that are being used frequently are now always visible for easy access. The rest are a quick LT to RT or RT to LT away. Thanks! The non essentials are on a separate hot bar and I can switch real quick with the right bumper.

  1. I have the left trackpad mapped to trigger common and specially mapped keys (look up Steam Deck Radial Menus). Think; map, chocobo mount, macros. The keys are then set on a hidden hotbar so I can clear space from the screen.

Update on this, I tried it out and loved it. However, could not keep it as how my hand placement is on the Legion Go, I keep accidentally pressing the trackpad and activating mid battle. Can’t change the sensitivity jet, when I do change in SteamOS, nothing changes. Might be worked out in future versions. Great advice though for anyone who has a Steam Deck!

 

To my fellow players, how do you handle raids with tons of activity? I’m struggling with keeping up with the on-screen action and not over focusing on the casting bar and timers. Does it just take time to figure out the cadence of the actions?
