Okay, I'm am tech deficient and was wondering, can you use your phone, in my case a Palm Centro, as a GPS that will track you as you ride then you would be able to download that info to like bike journal. Anyone?
Thanks,

what service do you have?
allsport is only app I know of , and you'll still need a new phone (it looks like) unless it's Verzion(where everything is proprietary) , plus you still have to manually enter the date into bike journal ( I understand that you still have to d manual entry with the Garmin edges)
I would like to see some one do this. Maybe i'll get a cheap phone and see if channel my inner mad scientist (put that J2ME class I took to good use)

I don't know about the Palm, sorry, but I do know the iPhone has a few services like that.

Doesn't work for me with the iPhone. Here's a recent post in the Gear section specific to the iPhone:

Try it with your phone and let us know. The iMapMyRide software for the iPhone was either free of very low cost, so the experiment may not be costly.If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers
