Cycling computer to track route

    Hi there,
    Newbie here to cycling.

    I have gotten into cycling over last few months and been using the runkeeper app on my android phone to track distance/route and time taken.

    Have upgraded phone and now a bit too big to be taking with me.

    Just wondering if there is a small little cycling computer that does the exact same thing and if someone can recommend one.

    Cheers.

    why not use the old phone?
    i upgraded and was able to use my old phone (original galaxy S) without the SIM as a GPS tracker with strava - uploaded the trip when i got back to the house, over WLAN.

    If the OP wants just to record his trip, with no requirement for HR, cadence or power measurement, then it's hard to pass the Edge 200 as a budget choice.

    Halfords often seem to have specials on them, so worth keeping an eye out.

    Hi there,
    Looking at €250+ for the Garmin 500.
    I have an old samsung phone lying around and will use that I think.
    Thanks all for the advice.
