Hi to all.

 

I've been using MapMyRide for a couple of months now, but have in the meantime

learned about Strave. Still a bit of a NOOB to all this.

 

What are the feelings among you  all regarding the two, PRO's and CONS.

 

Thank you in advanced for any input ! !  :D

Im pretty sure most people are using strava if they are into that sort of thing.

Its kind of like facebook vs google+ its all about which platform the majority of your friends are using...

I used to use Mapmyride because its brilliant at tracing your route after the actual ride (to see the climbs etc.). Then I decided its safe enough to cycle with my smartphone and started using Endomondo so my wife can see where I am (and how far from home). I haven't really recorded any rides with Strava, but upload all my rides there (from Endomondo and now my Garmin).

 

There are some nice Strava features are their heatmaps (helps plan routes) and Segments (help me to see improvements in performance). Only feature that lacks on Strava is ANT+ support (for the Android App).

 

I would suggest that you get a dedicated fitness device if you are into heart-rate/cadence etc. (Like Polar, Suunto or Garmin).
