Anyone know of an iPhone app which I can time full routes (not segments) against my previous routes (same routes of course) with voice feedback to tell me if I am ahead or behind?

I use Strava a lot, and tried Cyclemeter, but cant see if they provide regular voice feedback on status for full routes.

So its for racing myself really... I'm always wanting to better my last times, I don't really care about competing against others like on Strava, I'll never be KOM so whats the point :D but I like it when I gain personal records, but thats only on segments, not the full route. I'd like to try to beat myself on full routes every time, so racing a virtual self. I hate to wait until after the ride to see how I did... be better if someone is egging me along in my earphones telling me I am behind so I can try to cycle faster.

Thanks!

    Try Runkeeper app, it has a cycling function also.

    Try 4iiii's / Cliiiimb - you will have to load the route as a segment and then you get a running commentary telling you how far ahead you are of your best time.

    MapMyRide does it, good customisation options on when and what it will tell you as well.

    Think Endomondo does it as well

    Endomondo gives you overall time and distance, every mile, and average lap time. If you plot a route and follow that route it will also let you know estimated finish time based on current lap time.

    Endomondo can also call out your pace over a distance you choose as well as your total time taken etc. Useful if you follow the route every time.

    I find it useful for walking, I try to keep up to 4mph so I have Endomondo call out my pace every half mile.

    I used Motion X iPhone app a few times whilst running and it told you your pace etc. I havent used it for a ages though so can't remember how good it is

    CycleMeter which I think is the twin for RunMeter gives verbal feedback. I use it as a backup and prior for my Edge 510. It's the only feature I really miss from the Garmin. It gives time, distance and averages. nice voice too.

    Yup, if you follow a route endomondo will tell you if you're ahead or behind and how much by.

    Not tried Endomodo yet, but CycleMeter seems to do the trick. Its full of so many configurable features, its quite hard to setup (probably scares some off using it maybe) but support was great, so once I knew how to configure routes and feedback, it now tells me if I am ahead or behind every x minutes (2 for now), its great.

    It also looks like I can create custom Intervals (like Strava segments) and it can give me feedback on that too, so I entered a strava segment start and finish, its a big hill, and see what it does. It was tricky to setup so have't got that working yet, will find out on next ride.

    It exports to Strava at the end too, so I can still compare segments. The only thing its missing is a web interface to manage things. CReating the interval was tricky, had to enter latitude and longitude values for start and finish. No social aspect on this app.

    RunKeeper didnt have all these features so didnt use it long.
