You need to have an account with them, obvs, but you can have a base level one for free.

It was a bit of a disappointment at the tone, but he’s only one guy and he does all sorts of other amazing instead.

poppyH Dec 2019 11:33am, 29 Dec 2019 863 posts	Quote Pin poppyH I've manually added via plot my route before, and also forgotten to do it, it works but an app definitely the easier option. Thanks um.

Just noticed the online credit is now Asics digital runkeeper.com I also have the Crane Connect app to sync to my Aldi GPS watch. This also has a GPS functionality which works ok. However you have to upload to the Crane Connect website before you can extract the gpx. The reviews on Google Play are maybe a bit more negative than is a fair representation! play.google.com
