OK so I've tried Sports Tracker and Endomondo, ST is OK, but not great, endomondo I've now deleted as you get minimal info from it - what else do people use/like?

Don't mention iphone specific apps as I'm stuck with a Nokia X6 (company supplied).

    Maybe you should put your phone in the title.

    Endomondo needs a little tweaking (I use the free version on Android) to show better data than the default setting.

    This data:
    Start Time
    Jul 2, 2011 9:01 PM
    Distance
    29.79 miles
    Duration
    2h:06m:01s
    Avg Speed
    14.2 mph
    Max Speed
    44.0 mph
    Calories
    1279 kcal
    Altitude
    154 ft / 883 ft
    Elevation
    673 ft ↑ / 610 ft ↓
    Heart Rate
    - / -

    Seems plenty to me but you need to use their website to get at it.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    Not that bad but bad enough for me

    What don't you like about Sporttracker - what would you prefer to see?

    I like Sporttracker but would like a little more resolution.....

    For endomondo users, ST gives you a plot of your journey on a map and also you can graphically display speed and other info on a graph over your journey, by comparison endomondo is a glorified pencil!

    If you can use a mobile phone appLICATION for the whole of your commute then your commute is too short! :lol:
