This might seem self-evident to you, but I have seen it as a question on many forums, so I thought it would be useful to mention it here.<\/p>\n<p>Your route will be shown as an orange line on your map, which you can then attempt to follow while riding. Note that there are <strong>no turn-by-turn text instructions or audible prompts<\/strong> on your Strava app on your smart phone. This is despite the fact that users have been asking for this feature for years, and the technology has been available for decades.<\/p>\n<h3>Limitations of Following a Strava Route on Your Smartphone<\/h3>\n<p>I downloaded and tested a simple route, and found that there are no route instructions or directional prompts on the Strava app on your smart phone. Instead, there are just two lines \u2013 an <strong>orange line<\/strong> showing the route you planned, and a <strong>blue line<\/strong> showing the route you are actually taking on your bike.<\/p>\n<p>In the broadest sense, you can look at your phone and see if you are still on the route, or not. You pretty much have to stop your bike to do this safely. And then if you are no longer on your route, you need to figure out how to get back on it. You can see this in the screen shot from my phone, above.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of Following a Strava Route on a GPS Bike Computer<\/h2>\n<p>Because of the lack of turn-by-turn instructions when a Strava route is used on a smart phone, it is a much better option to <strong>follow a Strava route on your Garmin Edge bike computer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Garmin Edge Touring, 530, 830, and 1030 all have a built-in capacity to give<strong> turn-by-turn text instructions and audible prompts (beeps).<\/strong> They can use this ability with a Strava route, once you have exported that route to your Garmin Edge device.<\/p>\n<p>And the Garmin Edge 830 and 1030 can even create a route for you, based on an address you input, and then give you turn-by-turn text instructions. This has the advantage that you can create a route on the fly. So that you don&#8217;t always need to spend your time creating a route the night before your ride.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Related content: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-computers-530-vs-830-vs-1030\/\">Garmin Edge 1030 vs. 830 vs. 530<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/garmin-edge-530-vs-830-vs-1030\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"avejoecyc0e-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"search\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = \"garmin edge bike computer\";\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"91175741023eb164b92505f614e8a0fa\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar_position = \"top\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Shop Related Products\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/h5>\n<h3>Strava and Your Phone&#8217;s Battery Power<\/h3>\n<p>There is one aspect here that no one seems to talk about too much.

I have ended up with a dead phone in foreign cities because I was relying on my phone for mapping <em>and<\/em> recording.
