You need to have the route loaded on your cellphone to fully enjoy a Club ride, and ride safely and comfortably. You can’t always count on following the person or group in front of you.

Getting the route on your phone is really easy, and you have to follow a few simple steps.

Before we deal with routes, we must urge you to join the CRW-Ride With GPS Club (RWGPS). It’s absolutely free for CRW members, and you get indispensable voice activated turn directions. Go HERE to join. This is a one-time effort and you will feel blessed with the added power at your disposal.

You must also download the RWGPS app available at the Apple store or Google.

Now onto getting the route onto your call. The easiest and most direct way is to use the “Send to Phone” link on the route page. Remember, you joined the club and your cell phone is known to RWGPS. The route will open in the app and you can either “view” it or “download” for future use. We recommend the download and the route is permanently saved and works better in low signal areas.

Another viable option for storing the route on your phone is to copy it to your collection. The “More” button top left has a “copy to my routes” option. There is however a downside to this option. The route will no longer be in the CRW account, and if you have a free account, you will not be offered voice activated turn directions.

You should be all set to enjoy riding.
