Impulse E-Bike Navigation for Android
This crazy app doesn't know forwards from backwards. When a saved route is loaded it just says "you have reached your destination"and refuses to do anything. So, restarting the app part way through the route it gives a direction as if I'm going the opposite way, and for the next 10 km that direction stays there with the distance to it increasing - even though it knows I'm going the opposite direction it keeps navigating the wrong way. Overall - useless. Like many others I'll stick to my GPS. And yes, auto reroute is on.
GPS, maps and tracking is disconnecting all the time on the phone, while Google map still works.
Good but loses saved routes if you stop your trip for a break and then continue. Also map view warns "missing api" on top of screen view. Not sure why.
Keep getting lost using this, great shame as I like the idea of using the bikes head unit. Back to Google maps it just works....
Superb.......when I finally succeeded in pairing my phone....thanks to Tom at Harry's!
It is nice to have such app, which shows routes on the bike's display, however the route type selection in the mobile app is only "Everyday" and "Leisure" and both are calculating absolutely sensless routes, at least for my city where there is no good bike infrastructure. In the naviki site there are other options, such as Racing bike and S-Pedalec and they do make sense. It also sends street names in Cyrilic (on the map they are shown in both in Cyrilic and Latin), but they are displayed as ????????.????? ???? on the bike display.
Navigation doesn't work properly, too slow, will end up riding in circles...
Great app for navigating on the Kalkhoff, but the user interface isn't very intuitive. Takes a while to get used to.
Where went the option to choose between everyday and leisure?
Poor route selection in my hilly area - took me on wild goose chase, up and down steep hills instead of straight shot down road in front of house, adding 1.5 miles to a straight, less than 1 mile route. Had sense to drive it first to see. Check your routes first in Google maps before trusting. Don't know if has over ride. I guess you could ride better route and let it recalculate. Haven't tried saved maps yet. Version 1.6.1 crashed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. At least version 1.7 works.

It's by far the worst navigation I saw with my Galaxy S7 Edge. It's extreme slow in recalculate a route, if re-calculating at all. Instead it is telling me for approx 60 times over approx 7km that I have to go back and I'm off the route. Then it might recalculate. The only nice part is the connection with the screen on my bike and the option tracking my route. This app has nothing to do with navigation. Useless
