    Just wondering what kind of software / phone apps etc. people are using on here to track their cycles. I see a lot of people using ridewithgps.com - is this good? It seems you need a gpx file everytime to upload

    Personally, I'm using Google's MyTracks with tracks your cycle, time & elevation & will also upload all the info to a Google Docs Spreadsheet which is great for reviewing your performaces

    SportTracks on the PC for keeping a log with a Garmin Edge 705. Google Maps walking directions, ridewithgps.com and Garmin MapSource for planning routes. Ridewithgps is the best I have found of the online options; I still find Google Maps by far the easiest for initial plotting but RWG gives you elevation and direct gpx track download.

    SportTracks on the PC with my Garmin 705. Recently started also using PowerAgent for the powertap as SportTracks isn't great when it comes to power.

    I recently got a HTC Hero and Google's My Tracks is the only application that I've tried yet. I really like it the auto-generated map for each route and spreasheet to keep track of performance. Now that I've begun to incorporate decent sized hills into my cycles, I find it very useful for monitoring elevation.

    I'll probably try out some of the other Android apps but I'll stick with this for the time being. Since they've recently opened the source code with a Free Software license, I'd imagine the development process should speed up and the software should improve - though it is very much tied to Google's services.

    ridewithgps with edge 705, my only gripe being that the maps on ridewithgps are embedded in flash. would be nice to have an option to just display the googlemap with the route as well for showing people the site whilst on the move.

    never bring my smart phone out on cycles though, i'll transfer the sim into a crappy nokia/SE phone just in the off chance i don't unclip in time :pac:.
