Bobbo_SA Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 mapmyride make a app just for the iphone i have used imapmyride and it works extremely well. Another app that looks great, is free at the moment is RunKeeper, it works for all outdoor activities. +1 - been using it for a few months, works brilliantly
Ashchest Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 http://www.motionx.com/ Yeah! I also use motion x, you can pre-download map data when connected via wifi to save data costs. Or you can just log the route and download the map data after wards. I use it often when traveling overseas and want to save on roaming data costs.
SteveS Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I also use Cyclemeter on my Iphone. It chows the batteries though. I also find that the Iphone loses the GPS signal quite a bit when the phone is in my cycling shirt
Ysterman Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Greenbean, I also use the Iphone 4 and have downloaded the following apps - miCoach (free app) from Adidas and Cyclemeter (US4,99). Both are brilliant. If you go to www.wahoofitness.com you find that they sell an ANT+ connector which comes with a pouch for the ANT and Iphone, bike bracket, HRM and a spare battery for US206 which they are shipping mid January. They also have an arm band holder as an option. Hope this helps. It is their bike 2 option. I am also going to order. Looks cool this ... nice gadget But there are so many apps & stuff to choose from ... maybe we should start a iPhone 4 thread for tracking rides, then we can test & compare Unfortunately I was clever enough to buy a US iPhone ... so it is still in a box (for about 4 months now ) and waiting for the unlock
Moolz Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 great thread!just make sure you insure your phone before using it!
Ysterman Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Which version are you running? 4.2.1? Jip I think thats the one ... the BB just after the previous unlock
Rob22 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I use BikeMate GPS for the iPhone. I really great app and works well. The only problem is where is mount youe iPhone4
Ysterman Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 So question? How do we start a thread that reviews tracking apps for iPhone 4? We need a format for reviews eg sample screenshots, likes, dont likes, actual results, accuracy, battery consumption, user friendliness, etc
Underachiever Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Any software for a Samsung Omnia GT-I8000 Again Endomondo. Works great on BB too. Endomondo is free, but if you want to spend the cash, you can buy a little move functionality with the PRO version.

Not sure if the spare battery is included in the deal for $206. Seems to be listed as an optional extra.!!!! Have you been able to confirm whether it is in fact part of the deal ??? Cheers Greenbean
IBiker Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Hey guys You need to go check out Wahoo Fitness they have a great gadget that allows you to track your actual heart rate, cadence, bike speed etc as well as free apps that comes along that will fit most every bodies needs. They also have a new special bike mount for the Iphone 4 thats create for mounting your iphone on your bike. So do your self a favor and go and have a look and let me know what you think.
The Ouzo Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 been using cyclemeter on the iphone for over a year now, its brilliant. have done over 5hours with it running, plus tunes playing and not had an issue. Also, the fact that it can announce your data at preset intervals means you dont really have to mount it to the bike. I carry mine in my shirt pocket. the wahoo fitness stuff looks great, might get it this year and chuck off the aging polar stuff.

NC-17 iPhone 4 Bike Mount 2012 From 784.35 ZAR This is above all a functional product, a means to an end. In order to move forward with our stated goal of creating an e-bike tuning system we needed to create a serious bike mount for the dashboard, so we can run all our cool apps while riding. During the development process we thought about our roots in gravity sports and decided to make something these buddies could also use.

Plastic beg and camelbak and off you go.
Man with no name Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Strava or endomondo for iphone, or if you have an itunes account trainingpeaks mobile. Personally I will stick to my Garmin 800, think vibration will catch up with the glass sides at some stage. IMO off course
