RWGPS is a third party cycling navigation tool. It provides web and mobile tools focused on the navigation aspect of cycling (unlike Strava, say, whose focus is on social communication). That isn't all its about though; it also includes some social tools and some organization tools (for clubs, event organizers, tour organizers).
SCCCS uses RWGPS as its principal means of communicating routes and rides. So you need to get familiar with RWGPS!
Using RWGPS requires each individual to have their own personal account. There are several levels of membership with varying features. Basic use of RWGPS only requires a Starter ($0) membership but we encourage you to step up to a higher level to help support this critical part of our riding life!
RWGPS includes the notion of Club Accounts. When your personal account is registered with the RWGPS SCCCC Club Account then, while using rides from our Route Library, your personal account gets enhanced features for no additional cost

Why RWGPS and not Strava?
Why RWGPS and not Strava?
RWGPS has the best route editing tool, which is why SCCCC uses RWGPS so extensively. Unlike Strava it allows us to create routes with:
Cue Sheets with both automatic and manual cues
Turn by turn navigation
Points of Interest
Different underlying base maps
You can connect your RWGPS account to Strava so that the rides you do with RWGPS will automatically be uploaded to your Strava account. This will give you the best of both worlds: RWGPS for the navigation; Strava for the social connection, Kudos and K/QoM!
