Title: Useful tools for electric riders
Post by: vchampain on July 17, 2013, 11:45:14 AM: I thought these tools could be useful for other riders

- How far can I go draws the map you can access with a given autonomy : http://www.freemaptools.com/how-far-can-i-travel.htm (http://www.freemaptools.com/how-far-can-i-travel.htm)
If someone can tell me how to print a large map without the ads & text, that would be great

- Chargemap.com gives you the list of the charging stations around you, or along a specific trip
http://chargemap.com/ (http://chargemap.com/)

- (Android App) Autolib for french users gives you the list of the charging stations, and the numbers of slots available. With a 30 â‚¬/year fixed fee, you can book a slot (and a parking place) and use it for free for a few hours

Hope it helps !

And Waze is very helpful as I avoid traffic jams and police actions along my commute (www.waze.com (http://www.waze.com)).

I have been experimenting with different apps to track my weekend rides. Google offers My Tracks.
