I have just found that iPhone apps that I have been using are about inaccurate and am looking for something a bit more consistent

 

[smokeysmoo]

Which apps? I

I use Strava, MapMyRide+, Cyclemeter, Endomondo, (not all at once), and they're all pretty accurate when compared to my Garmin Edge.

I set up a 12.5mile ring near my house and each time it comes back with different accents and decents even tho I start and finish in the same place sometimes as much as 75ft difference over 12.5miles I use cyclemeter btw

Weather effects the signal, did a ride today readings were all over, yesterday clearer weather much more accurate readings.
I use a basic comp to measure distance/speed/time and cadence, I then use endamondo on the phone as a gps tracker and up load to strava.
The thing is I beat a P.R. on a run today but the readings had me going up a field, so it wont show on Strava.

I get the thing with the going across a field to so annoying
