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.
To be clear, I am not referring to solutions that require anything beyond the phone (such as the OBDII dongles). These apps all use a combination of gps, wifi & cell tower (and more) info to detect trip starts passively, or with no user input. Same with the stops. They work on bikes also, but they wouldnt be able to snag HR, cadence or power without additional sensors.
I don't think you would like the price...
