This weekend I took part in a bike ride and smartrunner recorded the route, unfortunately every time we stopped for a break smart runner recorded me all over the place, adding eventually 10 miles extra to the ride.

Date and time of the ride is: 3/20/2010 9:45 AM (Distance recorded by my cycle computer 37 Miles.)

The Nokia N95 does not have a very good GPS chip in it, the navigation software that came with the phone is unusable for directing a car, it constantly thinks you have left the motorway or taken wrong turns. However Garmin later developed their application for the N95 which could deal with these inaccurate readings and most of the time its pretty good, so you might need to write in some allowance for the Nokia's to get a better reading.

I have previously used a Palm Pre with smartrunner, which is much more accurate, this route is the first time I used the N95.
