The app asks of nothing. It's just a simple mileage ticker.

No. There's been a couple of updates. It now has a map and added file permissions for that.

I thought it wouldn't. The only way to get it on a BlackBerry though is to download it via a third party site, which I suspect adds it's own requirements for nefarious purposes

Tap tap tap.... is this thing on?

Oh right...haven't seen that. Off to check.

Edit: just checked. All I have is just the tracker. May have to reinstall for the maps.

The weekend has definitely had an effect on the graph

(thanks to Jo on YACF)

He must be tired after those two days though, so I'm hoping he backs off for a couple days and makes sure he doesn't overdo it. There's still a very long way to go.

Hmm, don't know. Just checked the android store link above, and it's definitely on 1.2 with maps.

1.1 had a map but the last point shown was always wrong. Got fixed pretty quickly.

I see ironox today has done this in a total straight line from San Diego to Dallas... LOL
The tracker is showing as "Today's ESTIMATED Distance covered 1567.62 mi"

Looks like Steve might be being cautious today. Hasn't strayed far from home.

Not surprised after yesterdays efforts.
A shorter day today methinks.

One of his short days is a massively long day for the majority of us on here.

Oh blimey indeed..

I did 170 miles in total last week - felt exhausted this morning! How he does this day in, day out is beyond me!
Top effort!

Jo over at YACF has put his fantastic graph up on a web page here - http://gicentre.org/oytt/

If you click the full year button you'll see just how much further there is to go.

Not exactly easy but well doable, but every day for a year?!!!

Can't deny its a big challenge...however with a modern bike,decent back up and modern diet knowledge I'd be surprised if the old record isn't smashed
