I was using Map my Ride. I just want to map out all my rides on the website. I like to see elevation data too.

I use the Ride with GPS website to plan out a route I want to ride. It's very easy to do, just clicking points. Map my Ride is more cumbersome. When I rode the perfectly flat bike trail and Map my Ride recorded 300 ft of climbing in 12 miles and then the next day rode 12 miles of roller coaster hills on the road around my house and Map my Ride told me on roads I definitely know are all hills without a flat spot to be found that I climbed 200 feet, less than the flat trail, I decided to try out the app for Ride with GPS.

So far, I like the Ride with GPS app to go along with planning a route on the website.

I don't care about timing myself against other people. I'm slow, I'm not riding a road bike, and there's no one else around riding where I ride so there's no comparing to do. Thus, I don't bother with Strava. I just want to see my riding on a map and basic stats like time, average speed, and climbing.
