not sure mate, i was quoted an all in price. The bike startd in Hungary, but knowing those eastern europeans it probably went to Germany on the back of a horse and kart

Just downloaded endomondo and run keeper to see wich ones best they both look good though another one that I found to be quite good on the iPhone is imapmyride suppose it's personal preference though as to wich one you choose.

i tried endomodo in the car the other day and it was pretty accurate. (android)

Does the gps still work if the phone is in a back pack?

i did the same and told it I was on a bike when i first got it 

It does highlight any dubious calcs.

I had it on in my jacket pocket.. and it didnt lose any data and mapped exactly where I had gone. Which was handy as I didnt have a clue!

The basic has enough features.. but the pro takes it one step further

Yup, all works fine. I use it when I bike to work (although I brought the Pro version when it was on the 10 apps for 10 days promo) and got it for ten pence which cannot be a bad thing.

I'm liking the look of the endomondo app like the way the map comes up as a satellite image. What I will say though is if you download a load of the apps to test be careful if your testing them all in one ride as I did the other day it killed my battery.
On the battery dying subject could anyone recommend a good power pack or solar charger system to keep my phone charged while I ride? Thanks in advance.
