On the Run!

Another update on applications for runners for the iPhone:

• The Running GyPSy tracks running distance and pace. 
• Distance Meter does the same, shows coordinates and altitude, and has a stopwatch. Both apps do not integrate with Google (or other) maps. 
• iTrail shows tempo and distance, coordinates and altitude. It records the trail you follow, and then plots it on a map. iTrail lets you export GPS data to Google Docs, and then to Google Earth and Google maps. 
• PaceCalc gives you a simple way to calculate time, distance, and pace for your workouts or race. 
• Pacemaker is a simple – yet very usful – application to compute your run time for a range of standard medium to long distance runs based on a shorter distance. It’s free.
• Path Tracker is an iPhone and iPod Touch application that displays your path on a map as you move. It also shows elapsed time, speed, latitude, longitude, and altitude. After tracking you upload the track from the iPhone to the website. From there you may export it as a gpx-file.
• Track’n Trail alows the creation of multiple tracks and adding waypoints. Measurement units also include nautical miles. There is GPX-File support. Current position as well as tracks can be sent via email. Track’n Trail is compatible with Google Earth and Openstreetmap.org.
• RunKeeper, already mentioned in an earlier post, enables iPhone users to track distance an speed and to map the tracks on Google maps. There is a YouTube video demonstrating the app here. 

All the apps are available for download in the Apple app store (via iTunes).
