Watch Out, Nokia Sports Tracker

Nokia Sports Tracker is a very good usage of N95 because it utilize the built-in GPS to manage your sporty outdoor activities. Now, the comer called Wayfinder Active is out, which go neck to neck on Nokia Sports Tracker.

Wayfinder Active is a free GPS mobile application which combines maps, GPS recording and statistics, and is designed for people who enjoy various outdoor activities.

Once the application is installed on a mobile phone, each user will have access to a world wide map and the ability to record and share routes with a single keystroke. Users can follow in the footsteps of friends’ adventures and training routes by importing routes and tracks directly from and to their mobile phone.

Similarly to Nokia’s app/service combo, Wayfinder Active also has an online component, ActiveOutdoor, which “takes outdoor activities to the Internet.” Each activity is recorded in a standard GPX format, and the route is then uploaded to ActiveOutdoor. If needed, users can preload a specific route onto the phone memory so they can enjoy their activity without thinking about where they are going. Once a route or training trail is completed, the activity is automatically uploaded to the online community.
