Finally broke down and got a smart phone, Galaxy s4. Anyone have a recommendation on a cycling app that can track the major data points including elevation gain?

Not sure I have a big enough data plan for this, but may give it a try. Also heard some of the phone apps aren't good at elevation gain.

I use RunKeeper, I'm not sure how accurate the elevation is on it. In general anything that is calculating elevation using GPS is not very accurate.

I use mapmyrun and it keeps up with major data points.

Not sure about accuracy, but it's a nice functional app.

Strava...all the kids are doin' it.  Plus you get to yell STRAVA! at slower riders as you blow by them on the trail.

If it's not on Strava it didn't happen.

SSTTRRAAAAVVVAAAAA

seriously though, I also have a Galaxy s4 and I have used both Strava and MapMyRide and i prefer Strava. in my experiences, Strava is more accurate and consistent in recording distance, interface is a little easier to use and the website is much better.
