<p>Garmin. (connect.garmin.com)<br></br>I use a Garmin GPS device to track my rides, which auto-uploads to Garmin -> Strava. Rides can be exported from Garmin to Google, I believe, or exported as gpx/tcx files.

<p>I use My Tracks on my Android. I don't share my rides or upload them to social media, so I don't know how it functions for those purposes.</p>
