When we ride together, she's usually giving me crap for going so slow! LOL!

Can you "look back" on the trip on that app?

No, not so much. It will show the track of the current trip. But, not previous trips.

FB... So if I'm understanding you correctly, it will only map the 4 hours, not the whole trip

Well, it's not really designed to "map"your ride - it's more designed for your first need: To allow somebody to track your current location. It will/should show the past track of the current tracking session. That session is limited to 4 hours, UNLESS you extend it. You can make a session last for 50 days if you wanted to, as long as you reset the time before it expires.

Yeah, but you can tell her that when you fly, you really FLY!

Spotwalla can also make your trips private. You can use a password to let only some people see your trip. Then when you get home you can remove the password so you can post your trip on a forum like here.
It allows you to block off the area around you home. That's another security feature. You might even want to let everyone know where you are as long as they don't know where your home is.
Here's the trip I did last year:
https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php...=F&showAll=yes
Check out the above map. You can zoom in and use all the Google Maps features such as changing to satellite view.
Install Spotwalla on your phone or tablet. It's only about $4. When you take pictures you can post them and their location with spotwalla.

I love my BubblerGPS in combination with the SpotWalla website and I also have Fuelly updates integrated as well.


It makes a great combination. I can track my location anytime/anywhere with Bubbler. I also use the app to send a text to fuelly anytime I gas up to track my MPG. I also use Bubbler to send a text update to any of my personal contacts depending on a message type that I select. I send My wife a text when I get food or check into a hotel. I send my kids a text when I check into a hotel. I send my buddy a yext when I'm doing an ironbutt for most stops including fuel so he can track my progress for support and monitoring. These are all programmed in so all I have to do is select a message type. It also posts an updated "crumb trail" at whatever interval I set down to 5 minutes (for pay-version).


Using spotwalla, I can control who sees what and when they see it. I send all location info, so even if I haven't set up a trip, I am saving it. If I want someone (say friends from work) to be able to see where I'm going (summer trip maybe?) I can create a link on spotwalla with whatever security selections I need and then share it with them. If I want to share a trip on a website, I could create a different link for the same trip with stricter security settings. Or, I can delete it after I'm done sharing it, and no one can see it. But the info is still there on Spotwalla, so if I want to show it to someone else, I just recreate a trip to cover the time period with whatever settings I choose for that situation.


It's really a great combination!!
