kreativ Posted May 28, 2009 Share Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me with this. I'm driving my bike almost everyday so I figure out why not kepping records of my routs. I heard there are some GPS devices, but I would not like to spend money on that since i'm not profesional, so do you know if there are any good GPS applications for mobile phones that I can use it.

Cycling Addict Posted May 28, 2009 Share Try Sports tracker (for Nokia GPS enabled phones) http://sportstracker.nokia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreativ Posted May 28, 2009 Share Yes, I have heard about the sportstracker from nokia, but the problem is that i don't have a Nokia phone, i just got an IPhone and a holder for the bike. so still anybody does know any other GPS app. that can work on IPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Devil Posted May 28, 2009 Share Kreativ I also have an Iphone and as far as I know there are no app available for GPS. Iphones can only view googlemaps.You would have to either get a Nokia or Garmin (or something similar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canaris Posted May 29, 2009 Share best is to get a garmin edge 205 or 305 (with heart monitor) and download sport tracks from www.zonefivesoftware.comthis will allow you to keep a log for each bicycle (and running if you get the forerunner 305) and plot the routes on google earth and a whole lot more as well.

josh.rickets Posted May 31, 2009 Share Guys I found the solution , just found out about this application, looks very promising. Works on every type of mobile phone that has a GPS, i have an Xperia X1 and worksperfect. Very clean design. It is very simple for installing,registering and using, one button press for every functionality. Exceptmain stats screen where time, distance, speed, average speed andcalories burned there is another screen with actual track. It's freeand the web site www.sportypal.com is very functional. Has anybody else already use it? http://forum.gsmhosting.com/ubb/eek.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridr Posted May 31, 2009 Share Been trying out run.gps on my HTC TyTnII - it's very cool!http://www.rungps.net/wiki/HomeENYou can download free street maps for it from openstreetmap.org through the program, and have real-time internet tracking via gprs. And you can upload your training to a few sites - I use http://www.gps-sport.net/ (and you can view your training routes on googlemaps and see other people's training routes) Some of my uploaded runs playing around with run.GPS:http://www.gps-sport.net/users/ridr Wrong hyperlink! This one works...http://www.gps-sport.net/users/ridr ridr2009-06-01 14:22:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted May 31, 2009 Share I use sportstracker its very cool.Its also nice to be able to upload your current exercise route on the GPS, it stops my wife from phoning me to see how long I will take to get home cos she can see on the sportstracker website.

kreativ Posted June 8, 2009 Share I just tried out the sportypal, it looks very nice, clean screen with the speed, distance and on the end thtough google maps i can see where i went. The thing is that as i can see the application is not there yet for iphone, but i tried on xperia X1 and it was working. The web service works also, you can view the whole track with detailed anylizes. Very impresive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreativ Posted June 17, 2009 Share http://sportypal.com/Workouts/Details/6556 is my ride from the last weekend, this thing works pretty well, you can also see the accuracy is good, there is no big difference between the real road and the mapping. Other then that the trip was amaizing for me, nice nature all around me, waterfalls on every corner, long ride but it was worthed every single piece of it.

Rocket-Boy Posted June 17, 2009 Share It seems everytime my phone gets a software upgrade sportstracker stops working. I have just installed it again now along with sportypal so i will test them both and see which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This picture is after uploading the workout to their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted August 4, 2009 Share I have downloaded Motion X which looks like a great GPS for the Iphone. Havent used it properly on a ride yet as I am sorted with a Suunto and GPSpod and always know where I am going which is not very far. You got a photo of that bike mount for the iPhone?
