MapMyRide is a cycling GPS app for Android, iOS, and the web. It uses a mobile device’s GPS to record activities, and users can discover routes, make custom maps, and save workouts. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited custom maps and saved workouts, basic and lifetime stats, personal goal tracking, challenges, and achievements.

The MVP plan costs $6.99 a month and adds features including live tracking, premium performance insights, audio coaching, interval training, workout data export, full weather, and unlimited printed maps. Audio coaching provides real-time feedback toward a target pace and distance; live tracking shares a user’s location and route with other MapMy members. Other training options include goals, routines, leaderboards, and community features.

Wearable and health integrations include Garmin Connect, Apple Watch, Apple Health, and Google Health Connect. MapMyRide also offers privacy controls for profile and activity sharing. Its privacy policy says it may collect location, fitness, and movement information.
