Endomondo.. the dawn of the App age!

[RaeTrewBrowne]

Any Hubbers out there enjoying Endomondo as much as I am? if you have a blackberry or a iphone this app is so cool, instead of spending R6000.00 for a garmin, a R30 App does the same thing!

 

below is a pic of the elevation my phone recorded on a cycle yesterday morning, it gives you the route you rode in Google Maps (I think), a kilometer by kilometer breakdown of speed and how long it took you ride the kilo. Having lots of fun with it

But you are on the internet the whole time you use it.

The converted know where it is at.

PM if you want to connect.

with the BlackBerry you get free browsing so it is at no extra cost, with the iPhone you will pay though, best to take a Data Bundle

[RaeTrewBrowne]

oh did i mention they have awesome international challenges? There is one starting on 7pm 31 March and there is a prize for the first person to reach 1000km's i am going for 100k night ride to get a head start!!

I use a Nokia and data bundle and it is still not ridiculous. Otherwise I use the Edge and upload after.

Agreed - iPhone battery will die after about 3 hours of using the app. Cheaper and easier just to upload the Garmin file after your ride. I use the app for running and data usage is pretty insignificant. The app itself is amazing - also some pro's that use it, so good to see the hours they are putting in.

I use my Nokia E75, not needed to be connected all the time, only if you want your mates to track you live. Upload your ride/run/ski after and get same details/results added to your profile.

What app do you use with the Nokia?

[Edgar]

I use the normal endo app. I have it on a E71 and a 5230 navigator. No problems with either, used it all over the country. We even used in on a canoeing race in the berg.

i'm using mi-coach, probably pretty similar to endomondo, but you get victoria pendalton as coach

it syncs after the workout is over and doesnt seem to chow the battery

is that your top speed!?! 90 something kph?

[RaeTrewBrowne]

i wish!! haven't figured out the speed graph cause my top speed was only 67km/h ??

[YetiFan]

Nokia users can download sportstracker which pretty much does the same thing, even prettier interface though. Also links to a bluetooth polar HRM strap to integrate HR too. Can download app free from ovi store

[gravel_fodder]

i also get some inaccuracies with the speed, normally under-reads the max. i think the delay between measurements has something to do with it. its lots of fun, but when i start a ride now i feel a bit overboard with all the electronics

 

mi-coach... check

heartrate monitor... check

cycle comp... check

 

riding buddy 100m headstart...check
