[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1163376, member: 27619"] Bubbler has been around a little while now, and it is a flexible app. Much to commend it. However, for it to work you need not just a phone signal, you need a data signal. This has implications not just when you are out in the wilds, but whenever you are out of your home area. Data roaming agreements keep changing, and charges can be high. The real problem is when you are riding and others are closely following your progress. The sudden loss of a data signal means that tracking points might not update for several hours in some parts of the country. This can be either insignificant, or a real worry to your wife if she is expecting to see a neat trail over Independence Pass at 2.00 am. For casual use, and where your circumstances suit, then Bubbler and other data-based trackers are great .... but if tracking accurately is important, cell phone are not ready for primetime just yet. They are catching up though. [/QUOTE]
