No one has mentioned performance of these apps running on Android. I just did a test comparing RWGPS and Strava. I rode the same 30 minute route using RWGPS the first time and Strava the second time. Then I compared the Android battery usage stats and there was a significant difference in battery use between the two Apps. Strava used considerably more CPU (5 minutes vs. 40 seconds for RWGPS) which appears to be attributed to "Keep Awake" which was only 8s on RWGPS but a whopping 22 minutes on Strava. Based on these results, I would expect RWGPS to be much more battery-friendly when compared to Strava.
