What do people use to plan and record their ride etc.. Starting using Strava as an app on my phone with a cateye strata wireless for speed, distance etc, then got the Garmin Edge Explore 820, which I have had much publicised problems with posted on here. I have noticed if I just go out on a ride with the garmin on, it syncs the info with Strava but not my personal achievements, PB's etc..
I have downloaded courses and put them on garmin, but that has been hit and miss. Basically I want something I can rely on to follow maps and record the relevant info of the ride.
Should I stick with third party device garmin, or rely on a good app to use on my phone? Obviously I need something attached to handlebars for easy use, I understand phone holders are available, is this a viable option. I also understand one system uses GPS and the other 3g/4g for connection, I presume the latter is more reliable?
Any info appreciated thanks.
