tank, if you do a 2hr ride, then surely the phone battery should be fine ?

let us see,

phone ON

gps ON

internet ON and connected sending co-ordinates to website quite often.

all those applications chows the battery.

 

Some phone have been reported to be doing fine, like the BB's I think.

My Htc last for around 1 and a half to 2 hours ... no more!

And if you have a GPS only, like Edge 500? Can you track live from the unit?

i dont think so - since you need to send that data somewhere to be seen on a map. and the edge does not do that.

Nope, that is a receiver only not a transmitter.

 

It can not send the gps co-ordinates out to anywhere else or connect to the net.

Dont know why Garmin hasnt thought of that yet

Probably because they are to busy trying to fix their websites and replace stuff that works with stupid stuff like Bing

[Gataga]

i would say I was slow. It was the hardest MTB race I've ever done. The winner finished 90 min before me.

it used to but they've changed the app. The app is still connected to the net though as it downloads maps as you move.

[Tankman]

slightly different then, your phone would not need to update map as often as the gps co-ordinates are sent out.

 

SportyPal offers a nice alternative - you can complete your workout and then upload it to the web so you only connect once.

I like SportyPal website and maps more than Endomondo's

Updated to Firefox 4 this afternoon - at the install, message popped up telling me that my Garmin Communicator plugin/add-on(?) was incompatible with the next Firefox version, and was being disabled...

 

Which might, or might not, mean anything... Will pop something up when I try and upload my rides - and see if it works...

Ja - guess I must pull my head out of the proverbial...

 

Can old data be transferred across?

 

Wait. Google is my friend...
