Ogden Reservoir - Map

author Posted by: Antony Delaney on date Sep 6th, 2008 | filed Filed under: General

Currently we do not have map of the route we take around Ogden Reservoir, but this will change soon enough. I am planning to redo the route as soon as it has dried up as it gets very muddy to the point its un-ridable. I will be taking my GPS device and map the route out and put it on the website like the rest.

Any one looking for a map of the route we take around Ogden Reservoir do come back again and see if its been uploaded.

I Got u Update

Been using the device now for a few rides:

Not had any problems with it as of yet, and I can say from personal experience, it is waterproof. I managed to drop it in deep puddle last night it got totally submerged with water (had to fish it out).

As the software goes I can’t say much about it. As it originally did not give me the elevation data that I needed , I ended up using topofusion. The i-gotu team have released a new version called @trip which is 100% compatible with i-gotu device and this does give you the elevation data. But I will continue to use topfusion. 

With topofusion I can keep a log of all my rides and also have the ability to profile a ride  , along with a lot of other features the i-gotu software does not give.

As I have not really used @trip I can’t say much about the features as I only use it was a way to export the data off the i-gotu device
