Help! Forgotten my garmin...

poppyH Dec 2019 11:05am, 29 Dec 2019 860 posts	0 poppyH I'm away for a few days and have forgotten my garmin. I don't want to miss out on CQ zones so what running app would you recommend instead?
Angus Clydesdale Dec 2019 11:13am, 29 Dec 2019 16314 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale If I’m in your situation I always use (sshhh) ~~strava~~ because the app tracks really well and is eventually downloadable to Fetch (when I can get back to the mainframe computer). You need to have an account with them, obvs, but you can have a base level one for free.
Angus Clydesdale Dec 2019 11:15am, 29 Dec 2019 16315 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale I tried for ages to use the Fetch app but it never worked properly on my iPhone and I think Fetch was too busy with the main site to sort out the bugs and glitches. 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 11:18am, 29 Dec 2019 861 posts	0 poppyH I'd not thought about the app, I'm on android so not an option yet. Thanks Angus.

um Dec 2019 11:31am, 29 Dec 2019 1564 posts	0 um I've used mapmyrun / mapmywalk quite easily in the past. Or load the activity via 'plot a new route' after you've done it. The follow roads (assuming you are on roads or paths) makes it easy.

poppyH Dec 2019 11:33am, 29 Dec 2019 863 posts	0 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.
Dvorak Dec 2019 12:27pm, 29 Dec 2019 18598 posts	0 Dvorak If you want to avoid ~~strava~~ runkeeper also works pretty well. Produces a gpx file for downloading to Fetch. 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
