I finally got out for a ride... I am out of shape but it was so good to get back up on my freshly tuned bike. I decided to track my ride with the My Tracks App (Free) on my Samsung Vibrant android phone. I turned on the app, got a gps signal, started recording, and then just threw it in my bag. I was skeptical about it holding on to its satellite signal but I emailed the gpx file to myself and uploaded it.... look good! I brought my Garmin Edge 305 as well but haven't compared the files. Gotta love technology. I suppose a big advantage to the Edge is that it is mounted on my handle bars and has physical (non-touch-screen) buttons and a display that is always on. But nice to know I can use my phone as a legit substitute.... anyone else using these apps? Link to my ride :
