Nokia Sports Tracker / Map my Tracks

[Enid_Puceflange]

Has anyone used either of the above with any degree of success?

I have tried to use Map My Tracks , but found it completelt fruitless!!

Absolutely nothing from it! does jack all! or am I just being impatient?

Doing some training & trying to loose a good few stone and thought something that tracks your routes and mileage would be highly motovational.

Do any of you lovely folk use anything similar? :?:

Cheers

I found this to be the best with my Garmin Edge 305.

I guess it'll import from a Nokia using GPX if not the native Nokia DAT format.

It's motivational for sure, shows me just how little I've ridden this winter!
Tracks your equipment/bike usage.
Imports weather for your location and time.
Calculates power/calories, accuracy is dubious though.
Will geotag photos by GPS time.
Exports to Google Earth or you can edit your route in ST itself and export a route back to your device (slow though, but the editing works).

Quite a few decent plugins too.

My mate uses Map My Ride on his iphone, I think you can get it on android too, and it works really well. I have an android phone and use google My Tracks which seemed to pick up the GPS better, although obviously thats the phone and not the software.

What phone have you got?

Ah, on the phone itself...

Sporttracks is on the PC. I just let the Edge log as I ride and upload and analyse afterwards.

Agreed. Been using the latest version for a few weeks now. GPS lock seems ok, results are good. Being able to upload to the web with one click is great.

Well,

Being the computer illiterate tool that I am,

It took me a couple of hours to get it all installed (sports Tracker) and working (I believe) last night , so I will see how its gets on later today when I go for a stroll.

Initial impressions are top though, liking it very much
