For some time I have been considering upgrading my bike computer with a Garmin 705 now 800 or similar. In the meantime I have bought an iPhone 4. I understand there are some good apps for the iPhone that have similar??? functions to bike computers. Has anyone had any experience with using the iPhone apps or is the best way to go still the Garmin or similar?See More
