Endomondo
The Endomondo application is mentioned quite often in articles about sports applications, due to its multi-functionality. I myself used it before while riding a bike, and it fully suited my needs, but some people prefer less universal applications. The free version of Endomondo offers a GPS function, the ability to track distance, pace, elevation gain, calories burned and other parameters. The application includes audio feedback, the possibility of notifications when personal records are exceeded and other functions. The application also offers a version for Apple Watch, the ability to connect with native Health and the ability to connect with wearable electronics Garmin, Polar, Fitbit, Samsung Gear and others. Endomondo is free to download, with a premium membership (139 crowns per month) you get the option of individual training plans, heart activity analysis, advanced statistics and other benefits.

Nice article. However, turn-by-turn navigation on the watch would help me on the bike, or at least display mapy.cz navigation instructions from the phone. So far, I haven't found anything with map data for the Czech Republic, and mapy.cz (seznam.cz) doesn't plan to?
Definitely on the watch? Why not a mobile phone with a holder on the handlebars?
I don't need to keep looking at my mobile to navigate my bike. It would be nice if there was something in the style of navigation as demonstrated yesterday by Apple at WWDC in watchOS 7. It's a shame that Apple maps don't have our tourist information.
I use maps for bt headphones and satisfaction and route planning works there too
What maps do you mean?
Good tip, thank you.
Hm, I was expecting a little more, among the apps, for example, Strava, which is a must-have for cyclists.
None of these applications appealed to me, moreover, there are only 4 nos in the article.
