GPS-coordinates of your running routes

So I added new feature to the site couple of days ago. With this you can record your running routes with your mobile phone and watch them later on map. You also get information on your mobile phone's screen while running. These information are, for example, time, distance, speed, ...

Application uses phone's integrated GPS or external bluetooth device to record GPS coordinates. After recording you can send those coordinates to database with GPRS (or WLAN, or whatever...). Then those coordinates can be viewed on Google-map. You can download that application for your phone by logging in your account and going to "Routes"-page under training section. You can install it for example with PC Suite (for Nokia phones). It should work at least with Nokia Phones. I have tested it with Nokia N95 and Nokia 6680 (& I-Blue GPS Receiver). Application can be dowloaded from your "Routes"-page.

When you start the application for the first time you should set your username and password. You can test the application without setting those, but remember to do this BEFORE sending data to xlGain's database. In settings dialog you can also select which things you want to see, while application is running. These options are:

• Time
  
• Distance
  
• Speed
• Altitude
• Avg. speed
• Time / km
  

When you select "Start search" from menu, application starts waiting for GPS-signal. Or if you have selected external GPS-device, it starts searching them first. Phone asks you to allow permissions to use GPS- or Bluetooth-connections, before application can access them. Click Yes to those questions.

Time starts running when first coordinate is found. Coordinates are saved every ~25 seconds and distance is also updated only then. Other fields should be self-explanatory. "Times / km"-link takes to other screen, where you can see times for each kilometer. From there you can easily check, if your running speed have changed.

When you want to send coordinates to database, so you can look them online, click "Stop search". Then select "Send data" from the menu. Phone then asks permission to use connections. Click Yes and select which ever connection-setting you like. You should get those settings from your operator.

Then you can login to your account to view to coordinates on map. From "Routes"-page you can select from all the routes you have saved. Selected routes will be shown on the map and you can also see some specific info about the saved coordinates.
