Cons
Con Not for indoor spinning or gym workouts
Con No interval training!!!
Con By default, all your GPS data is made public
From their blog:
"The basic level is to choose to not use any privacy controls and make your info available publicly..."
Con No offline re-routing
Offline GPS will tell you when you have left your tour (and approximately what direction it is in), but cannot re-route without internet connection. Which can be inconvenient for those that deviate or get lost.
