iPhone app for cycling?

blahblah06 · 06-01-2013 4:32am #1

Hi guys
So tell me this. I use run keeper for the iPhone but wonder is there an iPhone app that will do the same as a Bbb bcp-32 cycling computer?
I'd like the app to track my map but also give live readings like the computer?

Cheers meant to say must have music playback

Apparently that app doesn't show the current pace/speed like a cycling computer would

I also use map my ride, pretty straight forward. Have a look at Sports Tracker aslo, I'm on android but I think its a available for iPhone.

Have they overcome the issue when you stop for a short break?

Had Map My Ride on windows phone and once you stopped for any length of time, the Map My Ride app would stop. :mad:

Cyclemetre.

Strava is good, but I don't use it for live feedback - I just have it in my pocket and use my old polar on the handlebars for live speed / distance etc...

mapmyride for iPhone is way different to the windows phone version. It's much more advanced.

In saying that, these apps will kill your phone battery. If you are planning on using them for long trips don't bother, anything over 4 hours or so is going to be tight in my experience.

Strava

Only if you don't live near Cork. In my experience, nearly all the segments in Cork have incorrect leaderboards.

Road bike cycling computer by runtasic is amazing, even calls out the mileage to you as you go, gives you speed, elevation and a live gps map for when like me you get lost. I ran it yesterday for the first time had strava running in the back ground and roadbike on the screen the mileage being called out is very handy i thought so i wasnt staring at it. make sure your battery is on full before you leave tho i was out 2hrs and my battery went from 100% to 30%.

What do you mean by wrong? Which 23 leaderboards have you evaluated to be "correct?"

See his sig!

I suppose Runkeeper doesn't give your current speed but it does work out your average speed and pace. Love the route stuff and audio feedback too, awesome app for free.

I had sigs turned off... I see what he did there. :P

You could use runkeeper for cycling also, i believe there's an option in the settings to set it for cycling. Mind you I have only used it for running but find it very good.
