Caltrigger Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Hey Guys, Not sure how many guys know about this but just got Sportypal for my BBerry(any smart phone) and I'm really impressed. It has a great interface and tracks your whole ride onto a google map, great for sharing rides etc. It also records time, distance and speed and can be hooked up to a HR monitor and some other fancy training aids if you want to pay...OH ya, the mapping, time, distance and speed is FREE!! And these days I find thats a real rarity!! It's not for the out and out pro, for that I recon a full GPS like a Garmin will be cool but it has a hell of alot of the same features for a heck of a lot less!!!...and it can do more stuff I haven't even tried yet Try it, its working great for me and no I don't work for them or get anything out of this other than fun!

Ant J Allen Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Afternoon, From this post i went adn dnld'd the app, and it works awesomely. Thanx for the advice. I love how you can track your distances and averages over all your rides.
Caltrigger Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 http://sportypal.com/Download or go onto sportypal on your mobile device and it will automatically select the right download for you! I see they just released the IPhone app that can do cadance and Hr and a bunch of other stuff!
Caltrigger Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 I have never tried Endomondo and never said Sportypal was better/worse than anything, its just a free app that I thought was worth sharing...
Caltrigger Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Had a look and signed up at Endomondo to see what thats about, looks good!!. The only thing I cannot see is if it maps the route as well as records altitude and velocity changes during the ride? SP has quite a detailed breakdown of your ride, identifying best average speed by section, time and alititude change... Maybe Endo does this with a full workout that you load up, I have only looked at other public routes. Will give it a try as well.
mooky Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Endomondo does the same... Even gives breakdown of time for each km... nice turtle and springbok symbols next to slowest and fastest km You can also compete against yourself by setting previous workouts as your goal etc
Caltrigger Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Cool... and does it do that in the free subscribers too?? I like the interface, looks easy enough to use and seems popular
Cav' Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I have 3 similar apps I use on my iphone- Cyclemeter- iMapmyRide- Nike + gpsAll work really well too
P.A.K. Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I have never tried Endomondo and never said Sportypal was better/worse than anything, its just a free app that I thought was worth sharing... Never meant to bash the app. Just wondered if you preferred it over Endomondo which I know a lot of hubbers use
Caltrigger Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 Never meant to bash the app. Just wondered if you preferred it over Endomondo which I know a lot of hubbers use I have tried Endomondo now and its is very good. better from a comunity perspective.... Thanks for the tip!
