Most accurate: Cateye computer or Endomodo iPhone app?

As title really? I'm using both but they don't read the same when I get home?

Maybe i've set the cateye wrongly? My tyre size is 700x23c so i've set it at 700, open to ideas :?:

    I have the Cateye Strata wireless computer, you can enter your rolling radius in MM into the computer, measure by marking the tyre and the ground then roll the bike until the mark does a full rotation then mark the floor again, now measure that distance in MM and enter into the cateye for more accuracy.

    Simples.

    Id work out the RR in Cm's and use that.

    Easy to do. Make a mark (with the tyre at the usual PSI) on the floor at a point on the tyre, roll the wheel along until it comes round again, measure the distance and enter that.

    Mines never more than a few tenths off on GPS or the computer.

    Just had a look at the website, the Velo only does CM's. Seems odd, but thats what it says.

    Get your tape measure out then (only to find the radius of the wheel mind)
