I've used both Endomodo and Cyclemeter for the iPhone and the latter
is far better -- far less prone to re-setting itself and turning
itself off when the phone is in your pocket, at least as was the case
in my pockets. Cyclemeter (note: not "Cyclo ...") also seems to use
less electricity: Endomodo would drain a full battery in under 3
hours. Also, Endo had an annoying robot "encourager" and distance
marker voice that would annoyingly turn itself on and startle you with
a weird voice from your pocket.
You can hook the phone up to a heartrate monitor and improve the
readout accuracies.
There are all sorts of interesting if not very useful features such as
auto route maps (you can scroll along your entire route!) in map and
satellite view; statistics tho' I expect much of this is very
approximate; speed and elevation charts (though on an out and back I
always find my descent measurement is different from my ascent one).
Patrick Moore, who -- per Cyclemeter -- just rode 12 hilly up and down
miles with 27 lb of groceries in a 72" gear between 5,300 and 6,000
feet in Rio Rancho, NM.
