bikeXperience

People who are passionate about bicycle rides or just amateurs who train their body through biking might require an elegant solution for managing their biking activities. BikeXperience will help users to organize and edit their bike tracks that have been recorded with a GPS device, manually create training tracks or view detailed elevation profiles and biking session statistics.

bikeXperience’s interface features a thoughtful design that boasts colorful buttons and tools that resemble the looks of a GIS or mapping software. Amateur and experienced users alike will surely appreciate its appealing layout and they will have no trouble importing and editing their biking tracks.

Users will be able to view a detailed listing of all the sampling points of the GPS bike tracks, accompanied by a resizable map view. In the mapper section, they will be able to load OpenStreetMap or GoogleMaps layers and the application will even provide a detailed elevation profile for the selected track.

The application offers a solid editor for the GPS tracks and users will be able to select individual sample points, manually add waypoints or create a new track altogether. All the tracks can be exported to various GPS supported formats and bikeXperience also features a useful altitude correction tool.

People can store custom images and assign them to different locations on the tracks by attaching coordinates and the application allows them to view detailed statistical information: gradient, power, cadence, pulse, speed or temperature, recorded for each track. In spite of its excellent overall impression, the track point list details cannot be resized and the application might exhibit frequent crashes when loading different map layers.

Biking enthusiasts who record their tracks with GPS devices could consider bikeXperience a good choice for keeping their biking activities organized. It will provide them with a capable GPS track editor that will offer them detailed statistical information about each track and many tools for manually creating training tracks. However, due to its unstable behavior exhibited in our tests, we cannot recommend it as a reliable solution.
