Riding/mileage Apps ??

[Dottie]

Hello

Does anyone know any good App's which will allow me to monitor how many miles i cover when out riding?
I imagine a lot of them will be running/cycling related, but they should work on a horse?!
Preferably free ones!

Thankies

iMapMyRide I found. I havent used it yet but think i does what you are looking for. In log a workout you can set it to horse riding, so would have thought you could do the same for record a work out. (if not its for a bike so will still record map and distance etc)

I think it was free too!

Try mapmyrun i think its free...

You need a garmin forerunner 301

Set it to cycling and it will record your speed on your horse, time taken, gradients, mileage.

You can wear it whilst out riding then download into your computer-you can also map your rides with google earth!

I use sportypal which is free. Works out distance average speed, top speed and superimposes it onto a satellite map.

Work on GPS enabled phones but the iphone version isn't there anymore.

Um, sorry to highjack, but I'm on Orange Pay as you Go, and so won't be able to access all the app's that people are talking about.

Google was mentioned - am just wondering how you measure your distance using that? Sorry, am a total numpty.

Its not the mobile operator that limits, unfortunately its your phone and most apps need either android or iphone operating systems

Here is what phresheez can do - my ride in Ciren park

I use a Garmin Forerunner 305 to measure distance, ave speed etc. It also does Heart Rate which you probably don't need. They are quite expensive new but if you only want to know mileage you could probably pick up a second hand Garmin GPS sports watch quite cheap on ebay. Lots of runners and cyclists use them and will update to newer models.

But the forerunner cannot replay like my link, with animation and pictures!!

I think you'd be better off getting a little cute android phone (Xperia Mini Pro is lovely)

Aha!! I've just amazed myself - discovered how to work out mileage on Google Earth using the "create path"/click & spot with the mouse thing-ummy-wotsit.

OK once you get the hang of it - and now I can work out the mileage of all my fave rides; not quite as high tek as some of you guys, but in my conquest of the computer, will keep me amused for a bit.

Simples!
