Christmas Comes Early From Nokia Research - GPS Sports Tracker gets a major update
Written by Glenn Letham
Thursday, 20 December 2007
Hey Sports Tracker fans and mobile
sports enthusiasts, we have news of a great gift for you in the latest
upgrade to the Awesome, Sports Tracker Application now at R. 1.66. Now
the mobile app is tightly integrated with the Online Beta Service!
I accidentally spotted this update this morning when I went into
Sports Tracker and was prompted for an update. I updated to version
1.66 and to my surprise the service is now compatible with the newly
launched Nokia Sports Tracker Online Beta web service.
So what you might think... well, now you can add your workouts,
track them, capture images and save them. But get this, now you can
upload your saved workouts directly to your account OTA. While
uploading you'll also be prompted to also upload any related images
that you captured along the way. Once done, your workout will be saved
with your user profile and available for sharing with your friends or
other users of the service.
Simply put, this is a powerful and fantastic update to what I
consider the Best, Free, location-aware mobile application on the
market!
Upload your workouts directly from your mobile to your sports tracker web account. Edit the workout details and more.
Upload your workouts to the web service
Pair your mobile Sports Tracker with your online account
A new look with new icons will be found - notice your service settings
Workouts can be uploaded to the free sportstracker.nokia.com web service directly from the mobile (no need for a PC).
User account can be created very easily using the mobile client.
Account information given when registering is used to log on to the web
service
(alternatively: user account can be created online at sportstracker.nokia.com).
We've spent huge amount of time making the user account creation and
workout uploading as convenient as possible. Also a great amount of
effort
has been put into tuning sportstracker.nokia.com to make it easy to
use. Show is not over yet - the development continues. Recommended
