    GPS vs Smartphone apps - my research

    OSMAND App on android. Free and a lot more versatile than Gaia. Allows offline maps, gpx import, route and track creation. I used both Gaia, and OSMAND App on a 12 day trip on the Trans American Trail. Dropped Gaia for OSMAND after 3 days. Gaia you also have to pay to get offline maps.

    I used all sorts of snake oil chain lubes for the first 30 000 km's I had my bike. Used old engine oil fir the next 60 000km's. Saw no difference in durability.

    Life in America - We made the move.
