Nokia Sports Tracker

This is a pretty easy and useful application for sports performers. I have been testing this application and it's really good.

The application is simple as expressed on its name it follows up all sport activities and workouts you do.

Using GPS technology it can monitor the speed, pace, steps (available only for N95 using movement sensor) laps, distance, etc of your workouts. You can go out and make some jogging turn on sports tracker on your mobile and it will track where did you run, how fast you did, and even which music you were listing to while you run.

Another good feature is that you can upload you training sessions online and share them with your friends, also you can create or become a member of several groups, you can join to a cycling group, for example, and have partners around the globe and compare performance or tips and even pics and videos from where you train.

The only bad thing I've noticed on this app it the GPS reception, it get several minutes to get satellite signal.

I've tested it on a N95, N82 and N96 it worked better on N96 and N82 but it had the same GPS issues.

Anyaway, try it on and live your own experience.

By the way for those sport geeks there is a polar sensor that can be linked to your mobile then you can grab your pulse among other nice features.
