With Cyclemeter you can have the screen on or off and have it stay on. Full charge iPhone 5 will go 2 hours with screen on and indefinitely with it off. I also have an extra battery case for my phone and that will take it for far more than I would want to ride. Cyclemeter also has audio feedback of ride parameters that are user configurable and can be at preset intervals or on demand. It will also use phone GPS and will support cadence, wheel speed, heart rate and power sensors. You have a choice of many screens all user configurable and they include ride parameter display as well as maps and routing. It can also tweet hour progress and read tweets back to you as audio. Very full featured and cheap.
