I've had a number of problems with strava either misrecording map data, or just not recording data at all.

pretty frustrating. not sure if the issue is with my phone or not. anyone else have problems on their 3GS?

edit: I'd actually be interested to know if anybody has had problems with their 4/4S as well.

I use it for my 4S and it's remarkably accurate with my route, even when I start going down one road and then turn around

Pretty good luck here as well. I've had a couple of rides where my elevation data got dropped, so I did all this climbing and the elevation chart was like a pool table afterwards

Also poor GPS action in the trees or downtown among the buildings.

I gotta get a second battery to do be able to run it daily, biggest bummer for me. If I do an hour - 90 minute ride in the morning, leave all my email apps running, make a couple of calls then my phone is dead by 4.

Droid 2 Global.

**** this makes me want to buy a GPS or an iPhone instead of my ****ty potato flip phone from six years ago.

hmm. this is probably the cause of most of the problems I've had now that I think about it.

How does it treat your battery? I downloaded it but havent used it at all yet

pretty well. I was listening to music, using google maps and strava all at the same time and got home at about 30% battery (having not charged it the night before) from about three hours. probably would make it through a 5ish+ hours if you didn't use google maps to look for where you're going

yea it works well on my 4 as well. not pinpoint exact like you would with data from a garmin but i say its close enough if your ride is long enough (5mi+)
i'd say its 15% battery per hour.

I'm getting an iphone next week will be able to use it

Joined the group. I'll run it on my Evo and see how it goes. Phones already a battery pig, so some of the longer rides might kill the phone quickly.

I've been using mapmyride.com; mapmyrun.com because it has the manual input with google maps. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that this does too, somewhere?

No manual mapping.
No cheating/altering routes.

Well you can trim some off the beginning or end of routes after riding them, but that's about it for altering.

also put iphone on Edge only (turn off 3G in settings>general>network>3G). battery lasts like twice longer.

I know that the average speed measurement is pretty accurate, since that can be calculated just knowing how far you went and how long it took, but how accurate is the max speed measurement? I've just started using Strava and it gave me a max speed reading of 36.5 MPH on flat ground on my commute, which just seems too fast to me. Particularly because at 42/17 that is a cadence of something like 190 RPM. But I've never used a computer or speedometer before, so I guess that could be right.

Clever. I never thought of that... I wonder if you could do it on an Android phone too?

Mine kicked up to Km instantly. So I'm going to wager that's 36.5KMP

Not on my Evo. All the functions associated with 3.0 apparently are connected through 3G service.

Probably a GPS error. You'd probably remember hitting 190 rpm

I had an awesome GPS error the other day. It put me in Sturgeon lake for a minute.

I just joined the group but I won't be adding anything till old man winter gets the hell out of here..

dat graph LOL

water? f*ck turning.

722 is built. I joined the group. Expect fixed rides and roadie spam I'll make sure to put 'fixed' in the title where applicable.

just put what bike u rode in the bike field (thats what i do)
im sure we'll all figure it out ;D

i wish more of these options are actually on the iphone app. mark private, change bikes, cropping... basically everything else that isnt recording. =>

They should totally have a dropdown for bike selection before you start ride.
