Soggy Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I came across this app a few days ago and was blown away, especially since its free!! If your phone is GPS enabled and is one of the large amount of phones that its compatible with, then I would suggest giving it a try! All you do is start it and road cycle/walk/run/mountain bike/hike/etc.. and the app times your activity, and gives your distance with GPS accuracy. Then either on your phone or on their website you can check out the route you walked/ran/cycled it mapped on a Google maps like page and it gives a world of information of your activity. Did I say again......its all free!! Its compatible with Android, Nokia (Symbian), Blackberry, Iphone, and more. Check it out for yourself@: http://www.endomondo.com Oh yeah, dont worry, I dont work for them, I was just very impressed by this app.

Just don't expect 100% accurate results. have a look at my profile/ invite me My endomondo profile
Iwan Kemp Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah. Using it as well. kCal is a bit out but other than that it's great. Good motivator that I use along with my Mobii

Pieterg Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks,want to do a couple of 200km+ MTB rides in December and needs a GPS so this will help thanks
davetapson Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Endo does provide some amusement at times - this was from a while ago - seems 'they' reduced the accuracy of the gps signal or something...
Soggy Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Just remember to charge up your phone before the ride, as the GPS might use a bit of power but it should last for some good hours
Iwan Kemp Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Not sure what happened there. Use mine of every ride and the GPS is more than accurate enough even when compared to my Mobii which is a dedicated GPS computer.
Soggy Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Endo does provide some amusement at times - this was from a while ago - seems 'they' reduced the accuracy of the gps signal or something... Ha Ha!! so far I just tested it through my neighborhood and it was actually quite accurate. Maybe the satellite signal was a bit weak and it had to estimate a bit.
Dale Clark Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I have also been using Endomondo and found it great... like BodyBikeFit says not 100% accurate, but great anyways. Also great for someone wanting to track while you race/train... they are even able to send you Peptalks which are read out by the program... if your volume is high enough to hear
forkie Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Sports Tracker is also quite good. I prefer it as you do not need to go onto the internet to get all the details of you ride. Its all on your phone. Also it can be linked to a HRM. Edited November 30, 2011 by facmp
davetapson Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 It's normally amazing - you can tell what side of the road you rode on, and where you cut across intersections etc. Which was why that drug-induced looking route is so strange.
