When you're out on a bike ride and cruising through new territory, carrying a map is probably a good idea. Then again, it can also be a drag to take it out, unfold it, drip sweat all over it and crunch it back into your bag.

Well, now you have one more option to deal with less paper maps: bike routes sent directly to your cell phone as a text message.

This is how it works. Once RTC gives you a route, use the share drop down to choose Send SMS. In the pop up, enter your cell phone number, carrier, and click send. A summarized version of the directions should arrive in no time.

Please let us know how this works by providing feedback so we can improve the glitches.
