Just as I was about to start summarizing my 30 day Nokia Wellness Diary (challenge) I came across an amazing application thanks to JKa - Nokia Sports Tracker.
This application has everything I wanted to see in the Wellness Diary - more focus on exercise tracking and support for GPS. This application is so very, very cool! Exactly what I have been looking for.
I don't know what excites me the most - how cool this application is or the fact that is available for free thanks to the amazing Nokia Research Center.
Nokia Sports Tracker is a GPS based exercise tracker which collects information such as speed, distance and time. The information is automatically stored to a training diary and can be displayed in a variety of ways.
To be able to take full advantage of all the features of the Nokia Sports Tracker you need a Nokia S60 3.0 phone with Bluetooth GPS device or Nokia S60 3.0 phone with integrated GPS such as the Nokia 6110 Navigator Phone.
The application is a breeze to use. You initiate a new work out, select the type of workout (walking, running, cycling etc.) select whether you want to use the autolap function to track laps, select whether you want to track the progress of the exercise against a previously recorded exercise.
Sounds complicated? The beauty of the application is that you can start off by using the very basic function of tracking your exercise and as you get more comfortable with the application can start using more advanced features.
When you are done with your exercise it will be stored in an Sports Tracker diary. You can review the data of your exercise in an impressive number of ways.
Naturally, this data will also be displayed in an equally impressive number of ways *while* you are exercising so that you can track speed/pace, laps, distance and even altitude.
The data can also be displayed in the format of one set of data compared to another set of data; i.e. altitude vs. distance, speed vs. distance etc.
The current version of the application does not contain any map content but future version supposedly will. However, recorded exercise tracks can be viewed as maps using Google Earth.
Nokia Sports Tracker supports export of recorded exercise tracks in KML file format wich Google Earth can read. Very, very cool!
Thank you Nokia Research Center. I had been lusting after the Garmin Forerunner 305 (MSRP $376) to make my exercise routine more like a video game (saving scores, trying to beat my previously best record) but now thanks to Sports Tracker, my Nokia E61 and Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS module will provide the same features for me.
I have to say it - hats off to gents (and ladies) at Nokia Research for making this and other application freely available!
