Tracking riding routes

Is there a function on this app to track where you riding so you can create and save the route for later reference?

On Sundays I ride with this group, sometimes they take really cool routes that I would like somehow safe and keep a reference, I wonder if there is a function on this app to do just that?

Yes. Simply open the app and hit the ‘Record Ride’ button.

Thanks for the quick responses, just what I needed.

Now, I see a lot of people using old iPhones just for the navigation part, probably not connected to the internet since the maps are downloaded, correct?

Would the record feature still function even if you are not connected to the internet while you ride?

Yes. That’s correct. Scenic can work completely without connection. As long as you downloaded the maps beforehand while on WiFi.

For recording purposes only, you wouldn’t even need to download the maps. Unless you’d like to see the map too while riding.

So, for recording purposes only, you could even tap the ‘Record Ride’ button, then lock the phone and put it in your pocket. And then at the end of your ride finish the ride and save it.

If you do this, just make sure that Scenic has ‘Always’ location access (in iOS Settings App > Scenic)

Awesome, this is wonderful. Will try it tomorrow on the breakfast ride.

I just came across this exchange and went to the app to find the "Record Ride" button. I didn't find that. Would tapping "Start Ride" perform the same function?

Yes. It was renamed over time.
