They say they're going to fix these problems, but it's been a month since I last saw my data.
This must be part of the App on the iPhone or something. I've never seen/heard of it on the website.

haha. Yes this exact same thing happened to my wife on her ride into work before. 90mph, straight across 4 miles through a stream, over buildings, and woods. Great stuff.
Now we both have Garmin 200 GPSs. They are small, and have worked great. I use it daily for commuting and for weekend rides. At the end of the week I just import all my rides from the week into the website.

That's way more time consuming. Putting them online doesn't make them "better" it just is easier, and has many more useful options. Especially since all I have to do it plug in my GPS, and click the import button on the website and all my rides are there. No typing anything.
