Come on guys - Ron's first post, go easy!!!
Hi Ron,
Welcome to Bike Forums.
GPS in the phones can introduce errors. Dedicated bike computers do a better job.
Also when using a dedicated bike computer you have the option to also use a wheel mounted speed sensor.
The wheels sensor will permit the bike computer to better detect pauses in your ride, and can even be used to determine that the bike is still moving in areas of low GPS signal strength.
All the best
Barry
