Anyone use it?

I do.

But I also use Strava, as do many others on here.

I think Strava is probably better but Endomondo's very popular too.

Ill download Strava now, have a look at it and compare the two.

Was using Bike Hub and Cyclemeter this morning.

Bike Hub closed 2 miles into a ride and lost the route. Brilliant.
No problems with Cyclemeter though.

Will give Strava a go next time.

I use endomondo, tried loads more and stuck with this.

I've been using endomondo for the last year and really like it.

Been Trying Strava over the last couple of weeks and there's some areas where it's better, the segments being the key one. This is where you can compare you time over a section of road with other users.

However, the gps tracking and speed readings are all over ther place. It has me varying speed constantly by about 5 or 6 mph on a level road. It also regularly shows that I've detoured in to fields.

I did a 50 miler today loaded up endomondo.

It's probably because you're using a phone. They're useless.

I thought they were accurate. But they're often miles away.

I can't see why Strava should be to blame for that. Surely it just displays whatever information your GPS device sends to it?

Have you tried loading the same data into both Strava and Endomondo to compare the results?

That's what I thought. So loaded the Strava data in to Endomondo and got a much smoother speed trace. It's strange.

Ideally I'd be using a garmin but that's not an option having just got the bike.

I use endomondo to track the rides, then export and upload to Strava to compare the segments. Trying to get up a couple of leaderboards at the moment.

That's an interesting idea. Seems stupid to have multiple apps running all the time...

[SixtySpeedTwin]

I do the same Track on endomondo then export to strava.

I like the UI of endo and i have plenty of friends that arnt so cycle biased on it.

However i love the segments on strava. Gives me something to go for now on a ride out.

I use it, simple and basic way to keep track of where I have been. Good for watching improvements if you have a set training circuit you use, been off the bike for a few months so I am (not so) keen to see how slow I have got on my usual cross country circuit.

I use it a lot at the moment to track my training, works very well for me.

I like the fact that I can edit to add the Heart Rate data from my Polar HRM and it will update calories, also the fact that its actually available on Blackberry

One question, does anyone know if it uses the phone GPS or Google Maps data to track elevation - the ride I did yesterday had more up than down according to Endomondo, but given that I started and finished at the same place, I'm not sure this is accurate
