I don't actually use it really - but I downloaded "Diablo Super Biker" when Paddy mentioned it a long while back. I used it a few times, and spent ten minutes going around a roundabout trying to get my lean angle up on the app. Then I got bored and never used it again.

Though to be fair, it's a decent app.

My Tracks works out when I remember to turn it on. It gets dull very quickly.

I originally used My Tracks which worked fine for a bit then I wrote my own little app because I wanted extra stuff like lean angle, heart rate etc - all more of an experiment rather than for anything useful.

I used that data to generate a moving map which could be overlaid on video. I angled the marker to show lean, with the number in the circle bit. The trouble is there's so much ancillary processing involved that takes a long time that I got bored with it. Results were acceptable and I might make the effort if I did a euro trip or something.

Oh and I had to build my own OSM Tile server because they ban you from the public ones if you download too many tiles - Embarassed

There are a number of applications or web sites that will give you a little map of your gps trail, eg https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ for processing afterwards. If you know someone with Google Earth Pro it can export a video fly over of your gps track. GE Pro is stupid money and you have to pay it every year :/

Race Render lets you add stuff to your video based on your gps track too - but it's designed more for track days.

GPS Tracker things from ebay (TK102) are ok, but gps data intervals aren't quick enough. Any reasonable speed and your gps track has you crossing fields, when you weren't.

After trying a few, this one worked best for me.
Don't turn it on that often - mainly after I've got lost or realised I'm on nice roads I don't know and would like to be able to get back to.
