Record your path with Nokia Sports Tracker


One of the features that make the N95 so unique, is the GPS that the device carries inside. I think it was the first, or one of the first cellphones to include such tool. The good thing is that its use isn't limited to an exclusive application. What does that mean? it means you can allow other applications to use it. Many softwares have been created since the release of the cellphone and Nokia Sports Tracker is one of these.


What does it do? well, it keeps track of a determined route when you activate it. While activated it measures your speed, your height above the sea, the amount of steps you take and the number of Kcal. you've consumed. Of course the last two are applied only when you are either walking or running. That's awesome isn't it? well hear the rest. After you have concluded your activity you can go back home and upload all the info to the official Nokia Sports Tracker's site. You will then see your route on google maps. But what if you don't want to wait? what if you want your path to be sent inmediatly to the net while you excercise? can do! First you have to have an internet connection. Then, if you activate the option ''live sharing'' before starting your activity, anyone will be able to see a dot on the site's map showing where you are. I mean you can even use this cellphone as a spying tool, that is of course, as long as you know that wherever you put it is going to return to you (a car for example).

Now what I am going to do tomorrow is this: when I take my plane from Oklahoma City to Houston I will activate the Application and record the whole flight. Later I will upload it to the internet. Can't wait to see the results! If any of you are interested just click here to go to my account.
