Re: Osmand v maps . Me

I've used OsmAnd and I like how easy it is to download map sectors locally and that it will do turn by turn on and off road. It has a bit of annoying niggle I've experienced on multiple phones (been using it since 2016ish) is that it won't close. You can force close the app and it still runs in the ...

Re: Pidcock!

Not to take away from Tom's outstanding ride in any way but I think that a World Cup field could be a harder event as there's a better chance its at altitude and the pack hasn't been whittled down to 2 per nation.

Isn't the arrow pointing towards the cleat that clips into the bottom of the case? Is the ribbed bit a flexible extension and the metal tab at the other end bolts to something? Is it one for a motorbike instead?
