What is Reddit's opinion of SportsTracker?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Imagine if this was GPS and 3g enabled and allowed player interactions?

Here is where I'm getting at:

At the start of a new game, a player is randomly chosen to become a zombie in each region. Then, his mission would be to find other individuals in the surrounding area to infect. The iPhone camera and GPS can be used to identify individuals as zombies and to tag them to let fellow non-infected players in the nearby area know of their existence. Additionally, non-infected players can become infected if they get too close to a zombie (exercise -> Having to run away). Using the GPS, the developers/community can also set predetermined areas that can act as a safe haven from the zombies. Lastly, the game continues until everyone is infected so the last person to survive is the winner.

Oh, the features discussed in the video are nice as well.

The game would be like a zombified version of the Sports-tracker app: http://www.sports-tracker.com/

Thames Valley Park along the Thames to Sonning, stop at The Bull for a drink, then walk back. It's not really secluded though. When I get onto a computer I'll link you to walks I've tracked on Endomondo and Sports Tracker (most of them will need a car to get to though) which are generally a bit more interesting and are typically between 4 and 6 miles long.

Edit: Endomondo and Sports Tracker

Here's most of the walks I've done in the last few years. They're a bit shorter than what you asked for (4-5 miles); the most recent ones are incredibly short as I kept going up to 8 months pregnant when the walks became a bit too much. I live in Reading, so about half of them should be within an hour's drive of London.

I am using Sports-tracker with iPhone, but it works with android and windows phones as well.

The upper left white square is where the map of your route normally is (I removed the map after screenshot)

Mostly because of the distance, and because the climb back is gruesome. I never thought I would make it back, so I just didn't do it. Here's the record of the trip: http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/felixdejongh/3nofi4dsn9kl07j0

Sport Tracker.

You can find it in the Google Play store and probably the App Store for iOS. This is a screenshot from the web app as the latest experimental build of Android I installed didn't have screenshot functionallity.

I hiked up to White Pine Lake (near Sandy, UT) last Saturday, and got to see this bundle of adoreableness on the trail! (I'm lucky to live in the Pika's home range :)

Sadly, no pokeballs were available at time of picture.

Some other pics from the hike

Wrote to Strava multiple times but I wrote to them again recently. Here is what they told me. Oh btw they openly suggest other apps too.

(read from bottom to top) STRAVA,

hi-

At this time, we do not have plans for a windows app..sorry about this.

Best, Strava Support Team

ME,:

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am well aware of the alternative methods to upload data to Strava, but the whole point is convenience and native experience. With a Windows app, Strava has nothing to loose and only gain. Also the social aspect with Strava is huge miss for me. I was just wondering what the hold up is? Market share? If you combine Windows and Windows Phone thats more that Apple and Android combined market share. Just a thought.

Thanks

STRAVA:

Hi,

We don't have plans for a Windows Phone App, but the following information may be helpful as a workaround for uploading data to Strava:

There is a GPS App called "Sports Tracker," which is available from the Marketplace. You can sign up for an account (free) at http://www.sports-tracker.com/. Once you have the app running on your phone, just start and end your "workout" and save the file on the phone, which sends it to the web site. Log into their site on a computer, view your workout and choose the "Export" option to save the .GPX file to your computer.

Next, login to Strava and navigate to Upload Activity and "Upload a file on your computer": Navigate to the file and upload it.

Some feedback from other Windows Phone users suggests that Endomondo works in much the same way as SportsTracker.

Hope that helps! Strava Support Team

Arrived well on the battlefield. I see the ennemy everywhere. Top pornographer Helmut Newton's show in LA made it to the front page of my local newspaper (in France !) today. Chic porn in advertising one of the worst signs of this society's sickness. Never mind, because I am here with you Salmon figthers ! Here is today's workout : http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/haduong_minh/ba0borfatusl3n55

http://www.sports-tracker.com/ is what I use. You can label your exercises and then the results can by synced to the website and if the exercise is set to public you can link it to anyone. And if you just share the account id and pw with your (wife?) you both can login and see the all of the exercises without the exercise being public and of course, you can both use the same account.

I use http://www.sports-tracker.com/ as it's free on any nokia gps enabled phone so I didn't have to go out and buy any hardware. There's lot of options for iphones and andriods phones aswell if you have one of those instead.

Saw this thread a few days ago, and can't believe that nobody's mentioned the awesome Sports Tracker for Nokia phones.

As an aside, apart from monitoring your performance, GPS trackers can be useful in proving what happened if you're in an accident, particularly when motorists get creative about what direction you came from or how fast you were going, so they're worth using even if you don't care about beating your commute time.

I have tried many others mentioned here, but I always come back to the one and original Sports Tracker. Beware, they don't offer an easy way to export your gpx data, so you'll going to have to go through some trouble if you want to have them stored somewhere else too.

This is from a hike I did last Saturday, July 17th, to White Pine Lake (near Sandy, UT). It really is a beautiful trail this time of year (fantastic trail in the fall)!

The hike itself is 11.2 miles roundtrip.

I don't know if you have an iPhone, android or a windows phone, but at least the android version (also available on all three platforms) of Sports Tracker has a "lap" button. Doesn't label the laps in any way other than numerically but that's probably not an issue? edit. I saw that at /r/running MapMyRun mainly was suggested, and I assume you do have an iPhone, but just a heads up: the android version doesn't currently have a manual/custom split button.

Heb een week geleden in Florence gefietst. Nou ben ik vrij zelfverzekerd op de weg, maar toen ik gewoon rechtsaf sloeg (korte bocht) en ik op een tweebaanse, éénrichtingsverkeer weg terechtkwam met twee vrachtwagens die op me af kwamen dacht ik toch heel ff 'nope'. Fietspad lag blijkbaar aan de linkerkant. :\

Verder vond ik het prima fietsen in Italië. Tenminste bergen waar je over heen kan stoempen.

edit: relevant: http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/felixdejongh/3nofi4dsn9kl07j0 (het is de weg aan de rivier)

nogago tracks works offline very well.

Also Sports tracker (which is more intented for runners).

Both are for free with the option to upgrade if you have more complex requirements. I did not try them with offline maps, but i think it is possible.

Later you export your data as gpx, csv or kml to view on google maps, etc.

It's quite new for android but I prefer SportsTracker. I use it on my Nokia It's free, it's quite precise, no-ads, nice UI and really fast, and data storing in the cloud. Uses OpenStreetMap for tracking and rout mapping. You can define your type of workout and you can by the heart monitor.

I like RunKeeper and Sports Tracker. They seem to be quite accurate and they have nice UIs. Also their Android applications work well too.

Yes, I use Nokia Sports Tracker. It's pretty good. I use it partly out of curiosity of times, max speeds and so on, but also in case I'm in a collision so the GPS track can prove which direction I came from and at what speed, just in case the car driver tries some bullshit like "he came straight out of nowhere doing 30mph".

> Nokia is hoping to make an entry into the highly competitive market of running phones, or runphones to use the current lingo

All jokes aside, Sports Tracker is a company spun off from Nokia, after a few employees wrote a GPS tracking app for athletes.

Wtf, are you me? My First Commute

I forgot to hit Start on my phone's tracking software until 20 minutes into the ride. Pissed me off a little bit but the ride made everything better.
