Our focus is VR exercise, but agreed that could be a cool benefit to Premium members. We have made a build that works now on Android OS 7 or greater devices, and would appreciate if Android owners would try it and give us feedback.

If people like it then we'll announce as an official benefit, get it on the Play store and also make an iOS version.
- Click the link above to install, and allow "unknown sources" since this isn't on the Play store yet.
- Make sure you have bluetooth and location services enabled to connect with VZ Sensor.
- Do not pair your VZ Button! Touch the screen to select things like a normal app. You can also drag the screen to look different directions, and tap it to recenter.
- Everything should work as expected, except steering is automatic so you cannot make open-ended rides.
As someone that just want to ride around and not really interesting in racing or training, the ideal app for me would be one that let me start somewhere and just ride around until I get tired. Then the next day I could start up again from where I left off. If I see something interesting then I can turn around and take a closer look. The app would track my ride and show me a map of where I'd been. I could see myself just using this app and ride across the country taking my time.
In explorer you can do this by creating a new ride and enter only a start point, leave the end point empty. Then next time you ride, create a new ride and leave the whole thing empty and you'll start where you left off last time.
