Map my walk is very accurate in terms of distance because it uses GPS.0

How about withe the Calorie burn?0

I find it to be way off in terms of calorie burn when I compare it to my HRM (Mapmyfitness is always higher than my heart rate monitor). It is accurate for mileage though.0

It's a free app. Download it, try it, then decide for yourself if you want to stick with it or try something else.
I've been using MapMyRide for 2 years. The calorie estimates are a little high compared to my bike computer/ HRM, but not so high as to make it worthless.
It also tends to overestimate mileage a bit because it doesn't map straight lines when you were running or riding in a straight line. But again, it's not that far off. And the inaccuracies are the phone's fault, which is where the GPS comes from.0 -

This is good to know. Thank you!0 -
I like it for the GPS/distance tracking. I think it overestimates burn though.0
