Have been using it for about 8 months, pretty accurate, uploads to google maps, gives you speed, average, callories burnt, climbing distance etc, also uploads logged rides to facebook and has a live updates while you ride advising speed, average, distance etc and speaks comments to you made by your friends on FB,
think it cost about $6, best 6 bux i have spent on my bike thus far.
cheers

The app can now accept Garmin .gpx files, so you can track your GPS-logged activities through the app too!

Really any calorific value is going to be useless on these devices, unless it can determine wind speed and direction, gear ratio etc. One of those power tap device would be best for that.

I'm keen to give this a try for my 1-1.5 hour commute, as I can't afford a Garmin or similar. I'd like to be able to track my rides through the year.

Just lock the screen and you'll be fine.BrisVegas wrote:For those that are running cyclemeter on iphone 3gs, what sort of battery life are you getting out it? I presume you'd leave it on the 'Stopwatch' screen while riding so you can see how fast/far you're going.

I used it on the Bris gc ride with no problems.

Even if you don't lock it i think they powersave after a few minutes anyway if they don't have external power.BrisVegas wrote:if the screen is locked, how do you see any of the useful info ? i'd expect it should last for hours without the screen sucking the power.

Good program with a GPS function and can log your pace/kmh every kilometre. Also can be set-up for interval training.
Kicker is, the PRO version which normally costs $12.99 (I think) is now FREE for January!
