Best tracking app

[fishinjunky]

What's the best app for tracking your travels and distance and speed?

[Geekalot]

As a ham radio operator we use aprs.fi. You can download an app - aprs.fi - hand follow the setup to see your route and speeds.

This is public information. So, use at your risk.

Thats great. Works better in windows on my laptop! I have GPS built in, and a mobile internet connection (via a phone card using 4G). So could see real world street view as I drive with my laptop on the passenger seat. So can the cops. Dont speed!

[hobie1dog]

expresso told me about "myTracks" app for my iPhone and it works great, giving you a map and trail marking on where you have been, odometer, speedometer

[Burgerman]

You mean this one?

This was expresso... iron backside. 68 miles.

That's the one I just downloaded to try out. I'm having some serious lithium battery envy lol

[Burgerman]

The other one is better. The one I now have on my laptop. You can use it and see google street view as you travel. So you can see daylight at night in a vehicle or a van. So its better than a map. You can see if you are in the right place.

I'll try it out it looks better. I wonder what the world record for longest distance traveled in a power chair on one charge is

[Burgerman]

First ou would need to define powerchair. Because things like the myra chair which is really a scooter exist. Its not tank steer so does more to an Ah. And it can take bigger batteries meaning you can get huge lithium batteries on board. And if we ignore that type of thing then its likely expresso or snaker at wround 70 or so miles.

that makes my rear end hurt just thinking about going that far in a power chair no matter what cushions I tried.

[Burgerman]

I cant feel it! But my pressure ulcers might return...

Its actually not as far as you think. I have done more than half of that and didnt leave the house till 11.30. Whats more I didnt do it on purpose. It was warm, and I wandered around to various places like town centre, freinds houses, a workshop, and walked my dog too. And on to cleethorpes (a very close seaside town around 4 to 5 miles on busy streets) in the evening for a meet with freinds and and home again. The thing was that at no time did I even think about battery range. Or distance. It just isnt an issue. Had I been using lead I would have been worrying at less than half of that distance.

Some ways I suspect it might be better / less wearing than sitting in one place for the same length of time... The movement of the chair and you in it as you go over the potholes, pavement breaks and other such things is going to give at least some level of "automatic" pressure relief.....

My Supracore cushion also claims that the movement helps pump air through the honeycomb structure for more butt cooling action...

That's one brand I have not tried yet. I have one of those gel/honeycomb knock-offs that is similar.

mine would return for sure. I HATE HATE HATE pressure sores

[Burgerman]

Well with scrupulous cleaning daily, using a disinfectant. Careful drying. With an alternating air bed. With the Roho cushion inflated to the lowest possible pressure that stops any bottoming out. With the patient hoist rather than a transfer board. So far getting up 5 hours a day mine appears to not be returning. So far.

That map is way out.

I have been on 9W and 9A
They are the same as our motor ways and chairs are not allowed.

[Burgerman]

And they are next to expressos red line.

That is exactly what I do to the t to keep them from returning I'm also at 5 hours a day. But I still need to build your pressure check device to fully optimize my roho cushion

[Burgerman]

Well you optimise it with your hand tests. You just measure what pressure that actually is so that you can easily check or change without that plastic bag!
