I have been a heavy ENDOMONDO user since 2012. I really like the software and how it works. That being said, I will be migrating over to Runkeeper because Endomondo is not moving in the direction of wearable stand alone technology.
too sad, I was also using Endomondo for running, biking and other activities. Now i will move to other software also.
As a premium (paying) subscriber, I feel let down. To say they have no plans to support stand alone Android Wear when clearly this is the direction that all devices (and software) will be moving is very disappointing.
They'll come around, remember when Sony said it wouldn't adopt android wear? How long did that last? Lol

Get Ghostracer beta...works great for strava and is the best app for SW3 running I have found. Runkeeper works, but the display features and customizability of ghostracer is better

ghosttracer has standalone gps support for android wear? can you direct me to the beta apk?
I believe the OP is talking about is using the smartwatch without the phone present.

Yes, works great without phone. Go to the android original development thread of XDA under SW3 for details
Just waiting for my Ghosttracer beta download. I'll report back soon!
Thank you for the tip!
Have a chance to test Ghosttracer yet?
Not yet. Next week.

I am so deep in Endomondo ecosystem I won't leave, at least yet. AW has only been out a very brief time, give it a little. I too was let down they dont do any standalone gps functions yet but it will come. Once everyone else goes standalone they will have no choice. Competition is a good thing kids.
I'm also hoping that Endomondo change their stance on this or I might also be saying goodbye. Wearables are the future, how can they neglect that?? Seems a little bizarre.
I've switch to also using Ghostracer's beta app. Wear stand-alone support (GPS, Bluetooth HR Monitors) and runs great. Developer seems to be very active and receptive to feedback, too. Uploads runs to Strava which you can sync with Runkeeper/Endomondo/MyFitnessPal/Garmin etc.
I have not had any issues. oddly enough the GPS in my SW3 actually is better at getting reception than my Note 4 (which has been having a notorious amount of issues).
There is an Android Wear support in free version of Endomundo Sports Tracker, can not understand why, but I have to have both versions of this app to use it on my Sony SW3
I love Runkeeper, just not for AW right now. I've been on 6 runs with Runkeeper using my Sony SW3. Twice, as I got back into range of my phone, data was lost. Like the time duration was there but the route data was missing. Two other times there were dual entries. One with the correct info and one with 0's. When I tried to delete the 0 entries, it deleted both. So I lost 2 recorded runs.
I'm going to try Google's My Tracks and Ghostracer. Hopefully Runkeeper fixes these issues.
Endomondo has just updated its app. Standalone Mode for the SW3 added!!!!!!
Haven't found any article about it (so no link), but i recived the update this morning

Just started endomondo at my watch. For me the font size there is too small. Even on ghostracer I set the font to 70. That is perfect for me.

What GPS oes evryone use? The google navigtions seems ok but I know there's gotta be something better... I tried the Aura but didn't like that I had to download differnt map paks for each state. Plus it didn't seem like there was a way to set it as default gps app... for instance if I googled an address and long clicked on it I never got an option to use Aura. I did like the diferent voices though. ( hate google voice) What GPS do you guys like?
* I'm just sayin......
I don't think there is anything out there better than Google Navigation. Not even the standalone GPS units LOL.

I have to agree. The looks and function of Google Navigation are excellent. Far and away, better than my standalone Garmin Nuvi. If not for the fact that a data connection is required for Google Nav, I would probably not be using the Garmin at all anymore.
If you want an app that has maps loaded on the SD card, CoPilot is said to be pretty good by some folks on these forums. And reasonably priced, as well (at $5). But I have not personally tried it.
Ye the google navigtion is great and I know its kinda petty but I just hate the voice.. (I know I could turn the volume down but I thiink they should include a way to change it)

Just get a new voice. I have the UK Victoria voice and it's a LOT better.
I believe the GPS will work now with or without data. It was a new feature with the latest release along with the traffic rerouting.
Also, you may want to check Navigon. I use them as my standalone gps and they only focus on mobile gps now. I have heard good things about their mobile apps but as for their standalone gps, I swore by it until google came on board with their latest one.
Copilot is pretty good. Been using it for a couple mths already nice ui extremely smooth, what's best is that everything is on the sd so u can use it without using data to co.stantly render maps

i don't think so
For offline nav, i've tried igo and sygic. Igo was ok, a bit slow and buggy. Sygic has been great so far: maps by tomtom with free updates, nav still works with screen locked for those of us on motorbikes, free trial available in the market, and it's not restricted to the US. That last one was the big one for me.

I wonder if it takes a while to show up in the marketplace for different people. Mine still says it's up to date at 1.6
Sent from my Samsung Focus using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Same here. I don't see the updated version yet.
Does this app actually work now? When I used it, it would take upwards of 3 seconds to respond to any type of touch/command. And it registered all gesters as taps.
I'm not sure what you mean. There is sometimes a 2-3 second delay after selecting a station, while it buffers content, but the app itself clearly responded to my tap instantly (there was visual feedback of my selection).
BTW, I just went to the online marketplace, and the update shows up there, and I was able to install it. Background playback is now fully supported, and the volume bug appears to have been fixed. I get very good volume levels from the app now.
I'm a happy slacker now!
I had to uninstall the current version in order to get this one but it works great even over my slow as **** 3G connection.

That's what I love about the new web-based marketplace. I didn't have to uninstall the old one, even though my phone kept reporting it as current. The web version forced it to "reinstall", which got me the new version.
1.6 is the latest I believe since it now plays in the background on my focus

that's a shame as I usually like seeing that marketplace tile show when there's updates available. maybe slacker is mad at me because I *****ed at them in an email about updating the tmobile version before the normal version.
Mine just updated. 1.6 is the latest, it just wouldn't let me update earlier. It is much faster and responsive and, best of all, plays in the background.

I think it's just a fluke. The marketplace is kind of in a state of flux right now. The WP7AppList app was reporting this morning reporting that there were over 800 app updates since yesterday.

Then mark it as not compatible... Fleet version is not avalible on Market and I newer had any issue with app no mather which version of Android I had... I hope that it will work on ICS too
im using co-pilot premium which works fine on mine, sometimes closes immediately but upon re-opening it is fine
my copilot 8 works fine for me.
I had issue with Navigon 4 which they refunded me because it wasn't yet compatible with ICS.
Route 66 recetly released on market.
I'll be trying it later today

Google doesn't have Navigation. It is avalible only for USA and few other countrys also it spend your data and this can be problem if you have limited data plan (100MB) like me. 100Mb is more than enought for me because in office&home and other places I use WiFi...

No "travlel via" or "avoid road" or "alternative route" options. It always tries to put me on M60 around junction 9 during rush hour. It's a no go zone at this time and there is no way to tell it to your google navigator.

Hi,
I just installed "NAVFREE".
I did not had a chance to proper test it just for a few miles. it is working but 'i did not liked the roots it took. just a bit of extra miles when rooting.
hope navigon will make a good version for SGN.
Navfree isn't great.. told me to take the 4th exit on a couple of roundabouts that only have 3 exits, and I needed the second :/

Try the free ones from MapQuest or Waze.
If you are following Sygic official tweeter, they said Sygic 4.0 will be released before the end of the year. It supports ICS.
In fact, you can go to their support forum to try the beta version.
I am using 3.0 version 11.2.2, it is a very good app. It has problem in the past with stability, but the latest version fixed it. Tested last weekend with 300 km driving, flawless.
Cant wait their ICS version!
Just been out for a run for the first time with my SW3.
I had Runtastic Pro running on my phone, however on my watch I could get displayed was the Time, Distance and Calories.
Does anyone else that uses Android Wear and Runtastic know how to get it to display your pace?

Ah so its not just me then! Thought I may have missed a setting somewhere!
Must admit I was pretty stunned that it dosent show pace, especially as that app is running on the phone with that information available!
Received an email back from Runtatsic - Basically they will forward the suggestions onto the development team.
Think I will purchase SyncMyTracks from the Play Store and start using RunKeeper. Their development seems to be a lot quicker when it comes to the Sony SmartWatch 3. Had the beta app for less then a week and its already seen numerous updates.
