Interesting, I've heard of a couple of instances in the industry where pilots are starting up for that (a little beyond the "black box" thing they've been offering to drivers to monitor driving and reduce premiums where applicable). It sounds like you have some knowledge about them. I can't really speak out of turn about that, but I believe that what I'm asking for isn't quite the same. To be analogous we'd need to install additional equipment on the bike to track movements (such as a Garmin).

I just want an app on the phone that does it all, without extra devices or having to mess with interfaces to run it. Unfortunately that means using GPS since cell tower/wifi location isn't really suitable. On the bright side GPS itself isn't the battery hog on Android that it used to be.
