iphone app for duty
I'm interested in getting an app for my iphone to track the length, my walking speed etc. No particular reason, just for fun.

If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

I've tried mapmywalk, but to be honest it's I don't believe its that accurate as it also registers the back/forwards movement of your phone and not just the forward distance covered.
On my walk it read at 9 miles covered, which sounds too high tbh unless my loops are longer than I thought!
I've downloaded another one called distance meter which is useless, I've just switched it on and it says I've covered 0.2 miles - I haven't moved from the sofa and the iPhone is next to me!

Re: iphone app for duty
Don't know if you can get them on Iphone but on Android I use "My Tracks" and "Endomondo" both are accessible on line and are free. They both integrate with google maps and google earth. Endomonodo does laps as well so you see where you are slower/faster. My tracks and Endomondo both do altitude as well.
Endomondo does send you challenges every month but you can ignore them .
Both keep a record of all uploads if you register and both have different modes, walking, cycling, running etc.
