Riding tracking apps with website/desktop interface (like Strava, MapMyRide, etc)?

Are there any riding tracking apps that also have a website or desktop interface, like Strava does? I'm currently using Equisense as I like the map function, but it's only an app, and I think I need to buy sensors for more data. I really hate reviewing my rides on a phone screen, and am used to having a bigger/more detailed interface for my runs on Strava's website. I really miss it for riding!

All I want to do is track where we've ridden, and show that on a map, including speed/distance. Preferably show walk/trot/canter as well. I don't care about suggested exercises/training, community, or emergency features.

If I have to I'll use a cycling app or something, but it would be nice to have something equestrian-specific.

This is the OS map app, I track my rides on my phone and can synchronise them to view them on a bigger screen later.

Is this enough detail? It records average speed over the whole ride, it doesn’t break it down into sections. Bonus is that it gives your position if you need to check it mid ride 🙂.

Thank you for reminding me. I used to use equilab on my old phone. I think I will try it again. I tried to tell YM about a particular view point to which I ride in summer and she had no idea where I was talking about.
I stopped using it because it drained my phone battery and as I am elderly and hack on my own, it is a priority to have a working phone to contact the yard if I need help. But phone batteries are far better these days.

I have Runtastic/Adidas running - it was bought out. I use it on my phone but I've viewed it on my laptop too. There's a free/basic option so you shouldn't have to pay anything to test

Ah, that would absolutely work - but OS is UK only, I think? While we definitely have topo maps here, there isn't an app for them, sadly.

I like equilab in theory, and it otherwise seems to do what I want... but no big screen option that I can tell.

I use a Garmin forerunner 55 watch which links to the Garmin app on my phone via bluetooth.

I do have a spare Suunto, though I'd have to import to another service to view on a big screen, and I know MapMy, Runtastic etc do have big screen options. I'll definitely use one of the fitness apps if I have to, but I am sad that there doesn't seem to be an equestrian-specific option where I can see pace as well. In the fall I'm going to be starting to do trot intervals etc & it would be nice to have a way to track that accurately AND view on a big screen!
