There seems to be a pattern here, I cannot seem to get enough GPS loggers. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

This is the 5th GPS logger I’ve checked out, and with one exception, which I will cover in a second, I’m not really seeing anything significantly new here.<\/p>\n

iMapMyRide is a free GPS logger with a companion web site like TrailGuru<\/a> or Path Tracker<\/a>. Like these apps, the application takes GPS samples and logs them on the iPhone.\u00a0 After the ride (or run) you can upload these points to a website which will map the information as well as calculate speed and elevation change. They also have a calorie calculator like Fitnio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A must have for any program in this space is the ability to remove points. I have yet to see a site that does this well.\u00a0 IMapMyRide does not do it all yet (although they say its coming). As you can see in this screenshot, it’s needed.\u00a0 When I clicked on ‘view route’ it did not come up the first time and clicking on ‘view your training’ gives a not loaded URL error.<\/p>\n

Whats new..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New is the idea of gaining points as you log more rides. “perivision, you have 10 MapMyPoints<\/a>. These are incentive points that will be redeemable for gift cards, partner discounts, and much more for our Premium Users<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This site is still young, a few bugs here and there, but personally I do not care for it all that much.\u00a0 Too many adverts.\u00a0 I do not mind a few ads here and there, but too many gets in the way.\u00a0 Also, the calorie calculator did not work. Odd. It asks me for the ‘Time Taken’.\u00a0 How should I know?\u00a0 That should be prefilled.<\/p>\n

I will wait for one more GPS logger then I will go back over all the apps I’ve reviews so far and put a chart together comparing important functions.\u00a0 If there is a free (or .99 cent) app you want me to include, let me know. I will most likely put this together this week.<\/p>\n

Sneak peak, I prefer PathTracks. I’ll explain why in my next post. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
