Sports Tracking apps

Gryzor

What sports tracker do you use for running, cycling etc...

Currently i'm using Runkeeper, which i find very good, but it lacks a couple of key features i'd like.
One is auto-pause, if you stop for a couple of minutes to cough up a lung or something, it'd be nice for the tracker to stop, and start up again when it detects movement.
The other is, while the RK website is very good and well presented, it doesn't have the ability to upload a gpx file from another app.

So what are people using, and do they handle either of the issues above??

I was using Runkeeper but was recommended Cardio Trainer. It has the auto pause. It's very good.

Have BuddyRunner which is pretty good.
Going to give RunKeeper a try on my next run and maybe even that cardio one too.

Did you try that Intant HeartRate ... hold your finger to the camera and it calculates your heart rate

I use Endomondo very good for tracking my runs and it gives you audio feedback at each KM or M you reach with your current speed, how long your last KM or M took, over all distance and expected finish time.

I have been using Runkeeper as well, but have just installed time runner,Runstar and Evening run, which all seem to offer different bits and pieces.
I havent tried any of them yet but will soon.
I might take a look at those mentioned here as well to see if any have alll the features I require.

+1 for cardiotrainer, my mate uses Mapmyride, but I love the race against yourself functionality of cardiotrainer, costs 2 euro for the race yourself addon though. It also integrates with your music player and calls out pace and distance notes at whatever intervals you wish, as well as calling out how far ahead or behind yourself you are when racing yourself.

Used RunKeeper last night and was very impressed with it - great website behind it too.

Just downloaded Google's My Tracks and one called Sporty Pal from the link provided earlier.
Both look very promising.

I've been using sportypal for a few weeks, seems grand. Will have to try the cardio trainer for the auto pause, I hate having to try pause the timer at traffic lights etc.

I tried runkeeper, but it didn't record my route accurately at all. It recorded my route but also logged me running down an adjacent road as well. It also had me running up and down small cul de sacs etc or doing unnecessary loops.

I'm currently using imapmyrun, which seems good.

Not sure about this auto pause thing. In my book, however long it takes you is however long it takes you. Excluding stops gives an artificial result.

i had the same experience with sportypal, didn't have the issue with any of the others i tried....not sure why they'd differ??
