2:14 Bruce that’s such an important point about Calimoto NOT supporting trails .
Thanks for being so clear !
I’ve down loaded Calimoto yesterday and I’m very impressed. Going to mainland next week with the wife for the first time and been trying to plot a Simon Weir Route all week on other planners, with no success, but last night with Calimoto plotted the Monmouth Loop and 8 straight rides in say 3 and a half hours. So well pleased.
Only thing if your trying to plot a route like Simon Weirs Monmouth Loop, it’s had to find the roads because not enough detail, but saying that, I managed and looking forward to be riding the Loop it’s looks fantastic.
Saw you at the ABR wanted to say hello but, you were always busy. Next time May be.👍
Super simple. Nice one Bruce. I absolutely love the app (I downloaded it thanks to you). I’ve found so many fantastic roads in Kent I never knew existed.
Nice on Russ 👍
Just back from the france and spain tour ..... downloaded the routes supplied to Calimoto ( simple thanks to Bruce) and found that I couldn't start the routes whilst in the UK.
Once I got to France, the routes worked perfectly !
Also, we had a few 'off bike days' but decided to use Calimoto to find us a route for the day ..... worked brilliantly !
I have a BMW navigator 5 ..... messed about trying to get the routes onto Basecamp, then on to the Nav 5 and couldn't get the routes supplied ......... imported the same routes into Calimoto ( as per Bruce's video) .... BOOM!
Highly recommended app
Awesome, glad you enjoyed using the app 👍
I have noticed when planning a trip that takes you from the UK to Europe you will get an error message saying something like "You Cant plan a Route that changes from Left Hand To Right hand Driving roads." So for the Uk leg to the ferry etc I just plan a seperate trip and as you say start the main trip as soon as you touch down in the EU.
Yep that’s exactly what you have to do 👍
love doing this so I can put the route on my tom tom. great vlog bud
Thanks Jay 👍
Cheers Bruce! I always struggled with this (it’s just me 🤦♂️). Will use the Simon Weir routes on this. Thank you 👍
Nice one, cheers Curno 👍
Great tutorial Bruce, Thanks for the advice😎
No dramas Simmo, glad it helped 👍
These are great short help topics Bruce👍🏼 still struggle with volume on calimoto when riding, but sure that’s how I have phone, Packtalk & BMW connected
Thanks Simon,
Have you increased the audio settings within Calimoto itself?
Same here. When ever im starting a route while listening to Spotify, the volume decrease
Appreciate your solid advice and clear presentations. I'm now thinking of moving from GARMIN to an alternative solution. Migrating my already planned trips looks like "a piece of cake" thanks to your preenations.
Saving this
Good tutorial Bruce
Thanks Lyn 👍
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇸
Cheers David 👍
I'd love to see a how to around route planning. Cover what you use to plan the route, basic do's and dont's kinds thing.
Already done that Dave, was covered in the first vid in the series a few weeks ago -
Calimoto Tutorial - 1. Getting Started & How to Plan a Route
czcams.com/video/nItr3iP_wl0/video.html
@@teapotone balls, I missed one!
Great Vid Bruce, im a fan of Calimoto already. Like you i own the best motorcycle in the world with a Nav6,
Ive used Cali to generate a route but prefer to use the nav6 whilst on the bike, (camera damage issue). I have imported the routes into basecamp but it comes up with loads and loads of route points which can be a pain and cause issues. Considering buying an old iphone and sticking it in the cradle and just using Cali. Oh yeah, have you seen the new phone adaptor cradle BM are doing to allow use of the whizz wheel on a phone?
No bud I’ve not seen anything?
Amen! Now it seems they just put an upload and download icon instead of indicating GPX.
Hi Bruce. Grate review. I’ve paid for calimoto app. Imported gpx but when I select start navigation it just keeps saying calculation error. 🤦🏼♂️
Watcha Bruce. I can’t seem to save to favourites. Any tips? Cheers.
Hi Bruce . This weekend the good lady and I completed your Brighton ride you dud in Sept 2020 using your calimoto ride map and had a great day. As you have the Calimoto ear, is it possible to add or click a link to all your calimoto rides and follow them .. regards Dave
Great to hear Dave, glad you enjoyed it.
I’ll pass that on to Calimoto 👍
Question:
Do you export to your Bmw navigation? Or are you using your mobile as navigation?
If I’m using the cradle and phone with connect app could I export to that?
Odd question I know
Teapot, I’ve just purchased Calimoto on my phone which already had Garmin Drive ( which I use to send routes to Garmin XT ). My question is, can I set a route on Calimoto and export it or share to Garmin Drive and then send to the XT. Regards.
Great tutorial. Is there a way to have a rout shared to the wider Calimoto user base. i.e. How could I ensure that you could see a route that ive made?
Cheers Graeme - any route you post will automatically be available to anyone who searches within the area the route is in.
For example, if your route is in the Lake District, then if someone opens their Calimoto and they are in the Lake District, then your route should show up on their ‘home page’, or if they search within the Lake District area👍
As a beginner, I have a basic question about On- and offline maps. What setting should I use when planning or travelling?
If you’ve got phone signal when travelling in Europe or abroad, then use online maps.
If you think it’s going to be an issue, then make sure you download the country map before you go, and if you start to have issues, just swap over to offline mode👍
I have a Beeline device that I am very happy with however I am seeking a better way of planning routes and want to fry Calimoto. I have calimoto app on my phone as well as the beeline app. Is there a way of creating a gps file in the calimoto app then exporting it to beeline so it will display through the beeline device. Thanks Paul L
The problem I used to have with the import is, that i's not dealing correct with waypoints and routes.
So in a GPX file you can provide tracks, routes and waypoints. Even all three at the same time. When it comes to tracks, the import works perfectly fine. Calimoto tries to recreate the track by setting own waypoints. And where it does not match, you can see it with the green and red line as shown in your video. And you can fix it manually if you like. But when you import a GPX file with only waypoints or a route in it, Calimoto screws it up completely. At best only half of the waypoints are taken.
On the export side it's a lot better, but still has an issue from my point of view. The good thing is, the exported Calimoto GPX file contains all three variants of your tour. A track that exactly matches the planned route in Calimoto. The Waypoints that you used to create the route. Both items so far are exactly as expected. But the route is not. I would expect that my waypoints form the Calimoto route are used and listed in the right order. But instead of this, Calimoto provides a route that has a lot more waypoints in it and they a not necessarily include the ones you planned before.
All sounds very complicated bud - I’m not sure what you’re using to create your gpx file that you’re importing into Calimoto - but if you’re going to use Calimoto on the bike, I’d just plot the route natively on the desktop version and that’ll eliminate any issues whatsoever.
@@teapotone first of all, don't get me wrong. I'm also a big fan of Calimoto, but your video was about import and export of GPX files. And there is - from my point of view - something broken in Calimoto. I know that I can get around it by doing the planning directly in Calimoto and sharing it within the app/website. But again this was about importing and exporting GPX files. And if you get a GPX file that only has waypoints or a route in it and not a track, Calimoto will screw it up on the import. Any other app that I know and used to use will import them correct.
Point taken bud - any gpx files I’ve imported personally into calimoto have worked fine, only ever having the issues with slight deviations in the route as highlighted in the vid.
@@teapotone hope you don't mind, I sent you an example file in the Facebook messenger if you want to see what I mean.
Hi
How do I export it onto my Bmw app keeping the away points
Hiya Bruce, bit late to the party here! Can you please tell me of i can share a map to other user's on the app if they arent premium users but i am? Cheers
Is there a way to transfer the routes to a traditional satnav? I use a Garmin Zumo but calimoto has been intriguing me recently . I just don’t like the idea of my phone on a mount and would rather use a satnav but if I could transfer the routes from the calimoto app that would be amazing.
Course, just do the route in Calimoto, export it and save onto an as card, whack the sd-card into the zumo and import the gpx file.
Gpx file format is notoriously ‘unstable’ though in the sense that it’s used differently by a wide range of devices. The route you create in Calimoto may be wildly different than the one you end up with in your Zumo, so make sure you check through the route once imported and alter accordingly
Hi - new to all this technology - how do you download a gpx file to a satnav (navigator 6) device from a pc? thanks bruce
Save the gpx file to a as card then insert the card into the Sat nav. The Nav 6 May recognise the new file and ask if you want to import it - if it doesn’t then you import the file via the menu on the Nav 6.
There’s loads of vids on CZcams on how to do it 👍
Looks like a great bit of software, shame it doesn't allow the off-road routes, any plans for this in the future?
I’m not sure bud, drop them a line via their socials 👍
A good planer BUT it won't send the GPX file as planned to a sat nav it tells you you have too many waypoints even if you haven't added any, If you don't want to use your phone to navigate you have a problem
Need some help with the transfer..
1. I designed the route in Calimoto.
2. I prefer a traditional GPS so I transferred GPX to Garmin basecamp which is so confusing and messes up the route/waypoints. Only way is to transfer and correct or manually add calimoto route in basecamp.
Is there a better way to transfer Calimoto GPX files to Garmin GPS?
No - the only way to ensure the route you make in Calimoto is the route you follow in your gps device, is to manually go through the route on your gps device and ensure the waypoints are accurate.
The gpx file format is read differently across each manufacturer and device - each interpolates the information differently.
However if you share your Calimoto route to another Calimoto user, then the route will be 100% accurate 👍
Have they fixed the iOS situation yet? I’d love to be able to send an GPX from the app to my Beeline satnav! 🤷🏻♂️
What’s the iOS situation Paul, I’m not aware of it?
I export from the web console a route I have created, a mate of mine imports the gpx into the web console and you would think the route would be identical. It's not. It sends him a different way. Major flaw in my opinion. Great when you are riding alone, but if a group want to follow the same route, not so good. I also struggle with the volume as others have mentioned in the comments. Maxed in the calimoto app and also on the phone.
That’s interesting - you’re saying you create a route within the desktop Calimoto, export it and give it to your friend who then imports it to their desktop calimoto, and the routes are not identical?
Do you both have the same ‘twisty’ meter selections for the entirety of your routes?
They should 100% be the same to my knowledge, so I would contact their support if I were you with your gpx file for them to investigate👍
I’ll be doing a vid on audio settings soon
can you export a file from desktop calimoto to a garmin sat nav ?.
Yep, export the gpx via desktop calimoto, and save the file onto an as card.
Put the address card in your Garmin and import the file via the Garmin settings menu
Hello Sir , is the calimoto app on cellphone using internet connection ? i really want to go outside my country and i dont have those option for Europe/international international package on my phone .
i though calimoto might be a cheaper option than to buy Navi system ?
sofar i am using google map on my phone but yah i can not use it when i go outside my country cuz it will be very expensive for roaming/ internet data base.
thank you for your answer in advance .
ps: anyone else can also comment if desire.
Hi Bebek,
You can download the maps for the countries you want, then switch to offline mode when you travel.
That way Calimoto will work off the downloaded maps rather than online 👍
Hi,
I'm guessing the Import GPX facility is only available on the Paid version of Calimoto on laptop/pc?
I'm signed into Calimoto and cannot see that option.
Yep
That's odd, left a message (hopefully not abusive or swearing) but it's not here now. I've had notifications of messages on my channel then nothing there when I click it??
My question was do you prefer planning routes with the app or the more traditional way in Basecamp?
100% with Calimoto, I don’t use anything else now to plot routes, it’s so easy to do.
Basecamp was a massive pain in the bum and I could never guarantee that what I plotted on the computer would be the route determined by my Garmin Zumo when I imported it.
With Calimoto, I know that whatever I plot on the desktop version will 100% transfer over to the app on my phone exactly as I want. Plus it’s so easy to make amendments on either desktop or app and it’ll automatically sync to the other.
@@teapotone Cheers Bruce, Basecamp is a pain to use
@@teapotone Nice to know Bruce. I am moving from planning on Basecamp to Calimoto after my last efforts wouldn't read on others satnavs.
Does Calimoto allow me to add in waypoints using a LON, LAT position?
Yes, if you know the LON and LAT then just paste the co-ords into the trip planner and it will find them on the map 👍
Is it possible to import a Calimoto route GPX to BMW Garmin Nav VI.
Yes, but you’ll need to go through the route on the Nav VI and check it’s the same. Devices interpret waypoints differently.
Make sure the preferences are set to Fastest Route too.
Hi Bruce, can you help me..I had calimoto on my old phone, Samsung s7 and when I shared routes I had multiple options, the main one being 'garmin drive' which I use to sent to my Garmin satnav. I have just changed phones to a Motorola and now when I try to share the only option it gives me is Facebook. I don't know if it's the app or phone..I'm not the best with tech so was wondering if you could shed some light on this. Cheers Simon
Hi Simon,
Afraid I’m not sure about android bud, I’ve only ever used iPhone 🤷♂️
@@teapotone ok, thanks for the reply..it's doing my head in a bit.
Nice. Is this on paid version only. 🤔
No I believe it’s available in the free version too
How do I change my username?
Hello, I find it hard to hear calamoto though my cardo head set ,
Have you adjusted the audio settings within the app?
@@teapotone will mess around with the volume settings tomorrow, as out for a ride, thanks 😊
Can I search for routes by other users? And is there a filter for the worldwide rides by users?
Yes and yes. You can search by a variety of filters, both in the app and in the browser
@@teapotone thank you for the awnser 👍🏻 I still can't seem to find out how to search for a specific user... I do have the payed version of calimoto BTW... When I look at calimoto on twitter you get the direct link to the user his highlighted route. Don't now how to find this user or any other user by app or online 🙈 The filters are about road type surrounding area type and so on.... I'm probebly missing something here. 😅
I love the look of this app but am concerned about vibrations breaking my phone.
Personally I’ve never had any issues with either the UltimateAddOns Helix strap Mount, or the cheap Amazon phone cradle I use that clips into the BMW satnav cradle
Hi, the file i have is GPX 'zipped' and has multiple routes in it ...... cant seem to import that ..... any ideas
Unzip the file then import the separate gpx files👍
@@teapotone thanks ..... when i try to start the route ( french routes) i get 'calculation error' message ..... if that because im not at the start of the route perhaps ? cheers Bruce
No it’s because Calimoto can not plot routes across countries where you ride on the other side of the road - so for example UK to France etc. You need to plot a route to wherever you’re going in the UK to leave , so Dover/Portsmouth etc, then onwards from Calais/Bilbao/Santander etc.
@@teapotone thanks ...... lets say i have a route from paris to paris loop that doesn't start in the uk ...... once i get to france do you think the app will work ? I appreciate your help Bruce ... good to have an SME on the subject
Aye that will work fine.
When you get to France and open the route, it should ask if you want to navigate to the start 👍
Is it possible to download .gpx files with timestamp?
I’m not sure what you mean?
Not for me @ £60 a year. I'll stick with Basecamp.
Google Maps, Google Maps & Google Maps!
That’s fine for plotting the most direct route and avoiding traffic, but it won’t plot specific best biking roads as automatically as Calimoto will, and it’s limited to how many waypoints you can incorporate into your route
Love how small the world is, just found out I work with your ex colleague 😂😂
Who’s that?
@@teapotone Andy Kite
He’s a top, top man.
Please say hello from me 👍
Beware Calimoto. If you want to plan a long trip, it can't do it. Unfortunately, you won't find out until you pay.
