Quite a few people I know use RunKeeper for cycling now because it's one less device to buy/maintain/ride with (running on the iPhone and all). In addition, the RK guys are likely to help you promote your service -- they're quite active with respect to their community.
- cullenking 17y agoWe had an import feature that allowed users to pull in their tracks from other services, but a migration to new code combined with a cease and desist letter from the big competitor led us to disable importation for the time being. We are investigating our options and will proceed when we understand the implications of those options. With that being said, this feature was VERY popular, and I loved watching someone bring in 100 routes from their other accounts. People love the concept of data independence and are pretty shocked when they hear one of their favourite sites doesn't allow them to backup their information. So, we are hoping to bring this back in some way that doesn't tick off the other services, or at least does so in a way that doesn't have negative implications on us or our users :P
