Strava equivalent for Windows Phone?

[BenWRXSEi]

Before we start, I don't want to buy an iPhone or Android. Just saying

Anyway, Strava isn't supported by Windows (I'm on a Nokia Lumia running WP8.1), I'm currently using the MapMyRide app but it's pretty crappy. Saved routes aren't viewable on the phone, it doesn't pause automatically when I stop and if I try to pause a route manually it cancels it and I have to start afresh. Pretty frustrating. The data it collects is OK...:

...but the avg speed is crappy because it was still running for 20 minutes while I stopped for a natter with a mate of mine (and because I'm new to this and my fitness needs a lot of work! )

Can anyone recommend a decent alternative, preferably with experience on Windows Phone?

Thanks!

Buy a Garmin.

I think endomondo is compatible.

(I use both endo & strava - strava the most detailed, what with all the segments and whatnot, but actually prefer endo)

Cheers - will give Endo a try. Not sure I'm at the stage I can justify forking out for a separate computer!

The new Garmin 510 / 810 / 1000 have meant the older 500 and 800 have come down in price and there's some good deals around on them - either new, or on eBay. Very quickly you reach the battery life of a phone, so might be worth having a quick google (my recommendaation would be an Edge 500)

Iphone5 with everything but Strava off lasted 9hours for RideLondon, rode to event, the ride and back to hotel (just over 100miles), phone ran out as I turned it off in the lobby- phew! :-)

So yes- Garmins last abit longer but phones are not totally awful timewise

I purchased 2 x "battery cases" off Amazon for £15 ea for my iphone 4, it meant I could run Strava for 3 days non stop when doing the Dunwich Dynamo, worked well

I didn't realise you could get it *quite* that good; apologies, the gain isn't quite so much then, it seems!

I typically am out on the bike at weekends for 4-5 hours, and that used to kill my iPhone 4S very quickly (wouldn't last the whole time) - though this is 2yrs ago, in fairness, whereas the Garmin will last 20hours+ if you're not using the course mapping, for example.

In the same predicament re Windows Phone pile of cack. Will give the Endomondo a whirl (I too found may my ride rubbish)

Try run the map, it has a bike option records splits, elevation, plots your route on a map etc.

I've been using the "old" Sports Tracker application on my 1020. Always worked perfectly.
