I have recently been hooked on beating a certain ~30 minute hill climb segment PB.
I don't have a Garmin 1000, but I'd like to somehow know my instantaneous relative position to my PB, as I am riding (if such an app exists, I'll go and buy one of those quad lock phone mount jobbies).
Is there an app for iPhone that will show you this info? Doesn't necessarily have to be strava. I know the Garmin 1000 has this functionality, but I don't want to fork out $600+.
Note: the strava real time segment function only reports your segment result immediately after the completion of the segment. Not really "real time" if you ask me!

can you use virtual training partner for this? the Garmin 800 can do this, and I think the Garmin 500. this will give you a real time update in terms of "X metres behind/ahead".
This is pretty much what I'm after - but I don't want to buy a Garmin....
The Garmin 1000 does it really well though, because it automatically detects your active segment. I think that it is something that is technically possible on a smartphone, but I guess there isn't a market for it, because not many people have their smart phone mounted to their bikes.
Now that you mention it, I could use my TomTom running watch's virtual partner thingamabob. This isn't such a bad idea as an interim fix!

If you do a compare of your 2 best times on Strava now, you'll see what I mean. (Compare might only be for Premium).
You are 100% correct. However, it would only need to be compared against your own PB. So yes, it would need to have downloaded the position vs time for the entire segment of your PB, and compare it against this. (Rather than a simple total time).
