Evening folks!

Looking for some suggestions on a good bike route tracking app to use. I know of Strava and Komodo, but I’m aware they were bought out and therefore I don’t trust their data privacy. Any suggestions?

I use my Garmin Enduro to track my biking sessions, but look for something on my phone to for both a map during rides and being able to share routes. I saw there is TrailLink, which is great for finding trails but does not track. Tried OrganicMaps but it gets me lost as it keeps showing abandoned railroads that look like trails 🤣. The Aventon app is nice but it drains the battery super fast.

Thanks in advance!

I use MapOut to plan cycling and hiking routes and sometimes to track. Usually I use WorkOutdoors on my Apple Watch though. They are both pay once apps by single developers, I like them a lot.

WorkOutdoors looks sweet, if I had an Apple Watch I would absolutely grab it.
