This may be a dumb question - but I wasn't sure if the turn by turn instructions are coming from the cue sheet or need the premium RWG functionality and app installed to be enabled? I can't see anything in the help explicitly saying it doesn't work with free accounts or if you don't use the RWG app.

Also, Is there any way to make the map auto re-center when you move off the current page? It seems like triggering the call that does it manually off a timer would be good enough, although obviously depends on speed..

Thanks
Bob

I replied to this message privately, but I hadn't noticed you'd posted it here in the forum. For that reason, I'm going to re-post my reply here so that others can see it.

Bike Tracker uses an XML file that's downloaded from RideWithGPS, and no further connection with their service is needed once the XML file is loaded into the app. You DO NOT need a premium service with RWG for this work, nor so you need to download any other apps. Bike Tracker works fine with free RWG accounts, and works independently of all other apps (including those distributed by RWG themselves).
