Ohh I tried that with my phone too.... But I live out in the sticks and the GPS sat signal would drop sometimes and mess the whole thing up. So I just mapped my ride using google maps on the mapmyride site, and then went and actually rode the ride that I had mapped yesterday. Filled in some of the details after I got done riding it. I was VERY surprised at how close the mileage was to my bike computer. It was only a few tenths off. Right now I'm in the process of trying to map my 3 day tour I want to do this fall. I Really like the street view for checking what kind of roads I'm mapping. Yep I know it's no 100%, but it sure helps when planning a ride where you have never ridden before.
