Data can be from google or OpenStreetMap which includes a cycling specific view. Your ride route is showen and you can load a .gpx or .kml file with a route to follow, or selct a route from previous rides. Mobile Atlas Creator can be used to make compatible map files for IpBike see map files for instructions this means you can have maps without a mobile signal.

- Multi step workouts
- Duration based off time, distance, HR or power
- Step target effort can be power, HR, speed or cadence
- Repeat can be count, time, distance, HR or power based
- Inport and export in FIT workout format
- Target feedback can be Text to Speech, Audible beeps or vibrations
- Start and stop step feedback can be Beeps or vibrations
- Can get a text to speech summary of each step is it starts.
Power and display control options

Application Integration
You can use the standard Android Send action with any compatible app you have installed. This is available for the Ride Editor, with the selected file type or just the textual description being sent. The plot can be sent as an image, the textural description is also sent but most apps Send implementations with an image do not pick it up. It is also in the clipboard though so it's easy to paste it as a caption with the picture. So you can easaly email a ride or ftp it off the phone.
Web intergration
There is upload support from the ride editor at the moment for the following websites.
If you want to set up your own fitness website I have added in support for the OpenFitApi so check it out.
Some of these other sites have the ability to upload via email these include RideWithGps and MapMyTracks. IpBike has an automated send feature to help with this task.
Customisable display
The screen setup for when you are out riding is very customisable. You have multiple screens you can swipe between and you can configure what its on each screen including setting the text sizes for the displayed items.
Sony SmartWatch supoport is described here. Customised UI for next generation full Android Based SmartWatches.
