Today

The screen you actually use while moving. One stage, what is left of it, and whether you are going to make it.

Everything else in Trip Tracker is about planning. Today is about the next few hours. It shows the stage you are on, how much of it you have done, what is still ahead, and the pace you need to hold to arrive on time β€” recalculated from the real clock every time you open it.

Log progress in two taps

Type the kilometres you have ridden, or tap +10 and +25 when you cannot be bothered. The progress bar, the remaining distance and every pace figure update together.

The same number also feeds the public page your family is watching, so one update covers both audiences. There is no separate 'post an update' step to remember.

  • Riders can log too, not just the organiser.
  • Quick-add buttons for when you are wearing gloves.
  • Feeds the live page automatically.

Pace that knows what time it is

Planned pace is useful before you leave. Mid-stage it is nearly useless β€” what you want to know is how fast you need to go from here to reach the bed before the kitchen closes, or the station before the last train.

If the day has a target finish time, Today divides the distance you have left by the hours you have left and colours the answer: green if it is relaxed, amber if you should stop dawdling, red if you are going to have to push. Once the target time has passed it says so plainly rather than showing an impossible number.

  • Required pace from now, not from the planned start.
  • Colour-banded so you can read it at a glance.
  • Climbing still ahead, taken from the elevation profile at your position.
  • Honest when you are late rather than optimistic.

What to remember about this day

The rest of Today is the stuff you would otherwise be scrolling three tabs to find: the food, resupply and water points for this stage with their opening hours, today's transport legs, tonight's bed, and tomorrow's outline.

Breakfast is attached to the stay you slept at, not the one you are heading for, so it appears on the morning you actually eat it.

  • Food, resupply and water with hours and links.
  • Today's transport, so you do not miss the ferry.
  • Tonight's stay with map, phone and check-in detail.
  • Tomorrow at a glance, so nothing is a surprise.

Good to know

  • Today is chosen by comparing your device's date to the day's date. A trip crossing many time zones may show the neighbouring stage until local midnight catches up.
  • Progress is entered by hand. Trip Tracker does not read your GPS β€” connect a Garmin or Wahoo share link if you want automatic tracking.
  • Live pace needs a target finish time on the day. Without one you still get the planned estimate, but not the from-here figure.
