![]() The ability to compete via segments – against your friends, people you’ve never met and yourself – is a fantastic idea. … However, there’s no denying that Strava has some excellent characteristics. So, I wasn’t looking for a new tracker or recording website. The iPhone app works really well, doesn’t suck the life out of my battery ( as long as the backlight’s switched off) and reliably posts my rides to Twitter, Facebook and the DailyMile site, which has some excellent display and reporting. Thus, so far our costs for cell service are lower.I use Cyclemeter to track my rides, and I like it. We’ve got the phones set to acquire most data over WiFi (books, podcasts, maps, news). However, because the lodge and the cabins have WiFi, we had access to both data and text / voice calling during our stay. We stayed at a cabin at Shawnee and had no cell signal. A large dead zone is Shawnee State Forest and Shawnee State Park. However there are still dead spots in Ohio where neither network has coverage. Having access to two networks has been handy and we’ve gotten access to more LTE (fast) networks than we had with Sprint alone. I’ve had the service since January and Deb’s had it for several weeks. It may change providers several times during the course of the day. If WiFi is not available, the phone will look for the fastest and strongest Sprint or T-Mobile signal. If the phone is connected to WiFi, it will use that for data and phone calls (both voice and text). Google has cut a deal with Sprint and T-Mobile to use both networks. The cost is $20 / month for unlimited voice / text plus a rate of $10 / GB (rounded to the nearest MB) for cellular data plus tax. We signed up for Project Fi (replacing our previous Sprint service). ![]() Project Fi is Google’s entry into the market as a wireless provider. The Nexus 5x as well as it’s big brother the Nexus 6P phone support Google’s Project Fi. Project Fiĭeb and I recently replaced our aging Android phones with Nexus 5X phones. There is a free version (with advertising) and a paid version (which I purchased) that costs $2.38. The MyTrails app is published by FrogSparks and is available from the Google Play Store.
