Hi,
I want to try cycling in new places and see that people have loaded up routes on Strava. Is it possible for me to download the route onto my iphone and follow or will i need to buy a Garmin GPS? What does everyone use?
Thanks

You should be able to but from experience the iPhone battery drains very quickly with GPS usage. A dedicated GPS will last a lot longer battery wise and cope with riding conditions a lot better than an iPhone.

Maybe before i buy a GPS i can get one of those cases that extend the iphone battery life and try it...

An hour tracking with strava on Sunday used 4% on my 5.
It's having the screen on that kills the battery, not the GPS.
