For practicing sports, this can prove quite difficult.
Have you ever tried mounting a dynamo to a pair of skis?
Take it from me; it does not work.
The next step takes us to radar and outdoors GPS technology.
And either of those will cost you an arm and a leg.
But there’s another alternative.
Flattering, but not realistic for skiing.
On the other hand, GPSTracker came forth as the obvious champion.
GPSTracker keeps track of pretty much everything a GPS can supply.
This includes speed, altitude and location.
While tracking, it’s possible for you to add a checkpoint with a flick of the thumb.
These will start a new travel chapter, and show on the various graphs and the map overlay.
A rather extensive overview can be reached via theStatebutton.
Said GPS logs can be easily exported from the main screen.
A little more accessible are the speed and altitude graphs, very similar in implementation.
But either of those fade in comparison to the map view.
Here the GPS data is added to Google Maps as an overlay.
The data can be visualized in a number of ways.
Perhaps, most interesting are the altitude and checkpoint notation.
The latter one with differently colored segments between checkpoints.
yo note that although GPS use doesn’t cost you anything, using mobile internet does!
Don’t overdo on the maps if you’re on a bad data-plan, or abroad.
