I've finally succumb to getting an iPhone (baaa... I know), mainly because my old iPod has given up the ghost.
Never used "Apps" previously but was wondering if there are any might be useful for mountain biking?

I use runkeeper, the free version cos i'm a tight arse, and its great for tracking your rides. it keeps a record of your route, distance speed etc.
you also join the runkeeper community website and it stores your routes on your personal page where it shows a map of the climbs/decents and all the info from your iphone.

Does it run the battery down quicker?
Viewranger is imminent I hear, check it out.
Found memory map to be very good, bit expensive for an app but compared to paper maps at £10 a shot, good value when your out in remote area.
Does it run the battery down quicker?
not sure to be honest as i haven't done any really long rides with it, usually 1hr 30 mins ish.
but i would imagine it will do. iphone battery life is poor especially when using apps.
Does it run the battery down quicker?
Yes - 4 or so hour battery life in most GPS apps, and you can't just swap the battery like you can on a normal phone. I understand some apps may have slightly better battery life, but the GPS really drains the battery.
