Default Mapping Distance Rides


If you have a nokia mobile phone with GPS, you can use 'nokia
sportstracker' (http://sportstracker.nokia.com). It is really neat - it
can record all your rides, and it can upload them to the web directly
from the phone. It is free too which is nice.

For example, here is the last ride I did in 2008

It is just so simple and easy to use, and has pretty much all the
features you need.

Nokia phones can also run 'viewranger' (http://www.viewranger.com),
which for UK users gives you fantastic topographical maps and various
other useful things. Worth its weight in gold, great piece of software.
Costs money though.

The really neat thing about this solution is that it's something you
always have with you, so you can record everything, commutes, quick
rides into town to the shops, without having to have any extra piece of
kit with you or having to charge another gadget.
