That simple idea, which is essentially Strava segments, will cost someone at least $1000/year to provide to you for free.
Well, not if all data must be contained within the phone/app and be able to function without google map integration or a network, which is how I'd expect an app like this to behave anyway.
This thread is going off on a tangent so I'll rephrase:
Can anybody suggest a less known android app, either paid or ad-based that might be tailored towards what I'm after?
To summarize:
- Race against time oriented
- Good UI design for "heads up"
- Record your own routes and divide them into sections (a leg is more descriptive than segment I think)
- Show real-time data about your position and standing contra previous times during a ride.
- Self-contained, no ties or logins to external services
I haven't seen the premium version of cyclemeter, I wonder if it has a different interface from the free version and how it handles route partitioning.
