Analysis of GPS tracking for cycling
Yesterday I bought a Garmin EDGE 800 with HR and Cadence sensor. Up til now I mainly used my BlackBerry phone to track cycling to and from work. I originally used the GPSLogger app for Blackberry, but lately I switched to Endomondo. The BlackBerry has been in my backpack.
Sometimes I have been riding alone to work, and other times I been riding in a group of 2-4 people. Now that I get HR data, I expected then energy consumption calculation to be much more accurate.
Summary
Some big differences in calories and elevation gain - see summary and details below.
I hadn't calibrated the altitude on Edge 800 before my workout, but that shouldn't influence then increase/decrease. The Edge 800 uses barometric to measure height, which is much more accurate than the satellite based.
