DMD2 - the best android navigation app for phones is now free!︱Cross Training Enduro

Two years ago our adventure channel explored free navigation apps for your phone. There are many options but generally Gaia and OsmAnd were seen as the best if you used the free basic versions. Hard enduro techniques are covered in our training vids. I only discovered it because my brand new AJP PR7 has this installed on the rally tablet. DMD2 was designed by adventure and enduro riders. It automatically downloads off-road maps for you and has multiple features. First? You can use it as a dashboard to simply show your speed. The dashboard is customisable to include just the features you want. However, if you have an Android phone there is a GPS app that is head and shoulders above the others. DMD2. It was an app sold by the guys at Thork Racing for use on their navigation devices. But now they have now made it freely available to everyone. Need hard enduro training? Work through our video lists. If you have a modern adventure motorbike with OBD2/TPMS integration, the dashboard can also display RPM, temperature, throttle position, battery voltage and tyre pressure. Second? You can use your phone as a roadbook. Have you seen the onboard maps used in Dakar? It's essentially that style of navigation but on your phone. Third? A normal navigation unit. Just watch the map. And if you import a GPX file, just follow the line. Into enduro and dirt bikes? Check out our dirt bike videos. Extreme enduro training vids are our focus. It supports turn-by-turn navigation as well. And you can even create a route on your phone screen. This is ridiculously comprehensive for a free app. If you are enduro riding get into our enduro training vids. Our dirt riding tips are great for developing your hard enduro skills. But I checked the reviews of experienced adventure riders who said the only possible issue is the navigation isn't as good in an urban environment compared to apps designed for road riders. But of course there's always Google maps and a pile of free options for road riders. So have the guys at Thork Racing made this comprehensive app free? There is an optional subscription for premium online services like Group Ride, satellite map layers, and live weather. If all this sounds complicated, it isn't. The guys at Thork Racing have aimed for simplicity and big buttons for ease of use. You can also integrate DMD2 with handlebar controllers so you don't have to touch the screen while riding. When you install DMD2 it will download the relevant offline maps so you can navigate without an internet connection. I mentioned earlier that you can create routes directly on your phone's screen. Open the Map screen, long-press to create points, and use the route planner to set destinations. You can choose between road or off-road modes. You can even choose between easy, medium and hard routes for off-road riding. You can also add multiple points, customize routes, and save them for offline navigation, which is optimized for adventure riding. I suspect it's partly because they are adventure riders and simply want to share it with others. But also they have created a range of premium navigation devices for adventure riders so I assume the app may get riders interested in serious navigation devices if their phones aren't sufficient. Brilliant! So what are the drawbacks with DMD2? I couldn't find any. If you want extreme enduro training see our playlists of enduro skills to learn.
