I'm sure the accuracy varies greatly with the weather, the app, the phone model, the quality of cellular data signal, etc. I've had pretty good luck using Strava on my Motorola Android-based phone. At the end of the ride, it usually registers to within a couple tenths of a mile to what's showing on my cyclocomputer.Kevin Madziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10494595089125085189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829395277888506402.post-50554925233693006352012-04-23T12:49:01.724-04:002012-04-23T12:49:01.724-04:00Endomondo, MapMyRide and EveryTrail on the iPhone ...Endomondo, MapMyRide and EveryTrail on the iPhone are not especially accurate in the GPS track they record. If moving quickly through the city, or on a mountain bike trail, any turns you make will be cut off, thus shortening your distance and also giving an inaccurate record of what the route was. Also, I have noticed inaccuracies depending on which direction I am going. Down the street and back shows my tracks not even close (riding down the road on the way out, and riding through the yards on the return)Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467371666525417496noreply@blogger.com
