Do I really need Ride with GPS?

A person from RWGPS actually came on the forum some time ago and explained how it works with multiple maps. I'll see if I can find the post.

I purchased my first Garmin 1040 bike sat nav last year. Because it works in partnership with Ride with gps I also purchased the app as well at a cost of £70.99. I’ve downloaded a few courses that others posted up. It seems very expensive for what I’m getting out of it. Maybe I didn’t need to purchase it in the beginning 🤷‍♂️
All I’m after is some local rides that others recommend and try them out myself at the weekends. I know I can download directions with the Garmin app but not recommended rides as such. At least I can’t find them🤷‍♂️
What’s your thoughts please ?

Buy a city map and a state map. They dont need batteries.

Similar happened on my ride this morning, it tried to get me to cross a major road to use an “alley way”.
I gave up trying to create my own ride as it kept putting me on the footpaths it calls alleyways.

I carry free city maps to give away to lost cyclist.
