    With so many of us using multiple sites/apps, it kind of tells you just how lacking they all are.

    I've only used RunKeeper. Could anyone tell me what other apps have the RK lacks? I love it for the price (free) and simplicity. The only lacks are things that can't be factored in with anything else either-wind, traffic stops, etc.
    If you used RK and moved on, why?

    I know that it wasn't on the list but I would recommend Strava. I have used it with a smart phone and then later I bought a Garmin Edge and I am absolutely in love with the site and the program. It helps keep me motivated to see what my friends are doing and how intense they are riding.

    Endomundo is actually able to skip stop time. By default it does not but go in Settings/Workout and there is on option you can activate called "Auto Pause" - "Automatically pause time when you are standing still"

    I use STRAVA (free version) for biking and running. I upload my Garmin 500 data to the STRAVA website, but I also run the STRAVA smartphone app when running or when riding my bikes that aren't configured with Garmin mounts & sensors. I've used other GPS tracking apps, but I like the data visualization of STRAVA, the route mapping & sharing features, as well as the competitive aspect (i.e., the STRAVA segments).

    I can't say anything bad about RunKeeper or MapMy<Fill-In>, they just simply don't have the same appeal to me as STRAVA. I'm not sure why someone would use RK for biking, but if it works, then why not? I absolutely detest the Endomondo app and website - I use it begrudgingly in order to participate in the National Bike Challenge.
