(And am sure many of you are going to say time to change to.....that is a conversation for another day.)
Have been a MapMyRide user for some years. Liked the simple interface without complications of electronic connections... But this past Sept it started losing (or not recording) ride progress. Loss of GPS, whatever? Gave it some time to 'recover', no dice.
Went to 'Ride With GPS' , and that seems to be working very well. Silll also using my on-bike old school computer (set to very accurate wheel circumference) - and the recent update to Ride With GPS app on my phone almost perfectly matches the computer for distance. I use Ride With GPS mainly to get a reading on vertical gain (trying to have strong climbing rides/routes without the imperfect considerations of how I 'felt'). Only a tool, no need to be married ...
works... without all the involvement of more intricate apps - keeps me focused on the most IMPORTANT thing - the ride, what, where and moment.
Ride On
