Overview:

Using a GPS receiver with your Pocket PC? Track your fitness and workouts with your Pocket PC using the GPS technology!Use VidaOne GPS withMySportTraining and/or MyPersonalDiet to record the duration, distance, pace, ascent (altitude gain) and visualize the route of your workouts, without having to purchase additional sport tracking equipment. Simply turn your GPS receiver on and start tracking your workouts! Ideal for casual or competitive walking, hiking, running, road cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, golfing, skiing, etc.At the end of your workout, the route, duration, distance, pace and ascent can be saved in a workout, so you do not have to write in the information. You can add more information to the workout (heart rate, perceived exertion, etc.) and use the various views (month, report, charts) to see how much youve accomplished and how rewarding all your efforts are. MySportTraining and MyPersonalDiet also calculate the calories you burnt along the corresponding fat loss automatically! You can then visualize the route you went through during the workout and even upload it toGoogle Maps!You can also customize and enhance the workout maps by entering pushpins (points of interests), such as convenient stores, parks, lakes, golf courses, restaurants, hospitals, malls, construction areas to avoid, etc. You can enter pushpins while recording your workouts or by tap-and-holding their location while viewing a map.The Real-Time Satellite View shows you the position, altitude and signal strength of all GPS satellites whose signals are received by the GPS receivers. This can help you find a better location to improve the signal quality.The integration with MySportTraining and Google Maps makes it truly useful and powerful. If you have say 45 minutes to complete a workout on your lunch time, you can use MySportTraining's Calendar or Report views to quickly find a previous 45-minute-or-so workout and view the exact route you took. You're then ready to go, without wondering where to go, where to turn and what areas to avoid. More importantly, you do not have to constantly look at your watch during the workout to adjust your route and make sure you'll be back in time. And if you have less time, say 30 minutes, then review a past 30-minute workout, look at the route and go! You save time, add diversity to your workouts by using different routes, and spend more time enjoying your workouts instead of worrying about completing them in time.Since VidaOne GPS is fully integrated into MySportTraining andMyPersonalDiet (either required, sold separately), there's no new user interface to learn, and only one application to use! Requirements: A Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 5 or newer.MySportTraining 6 (or newer) and/orMyPersonalDiet 4 (or newer) A connection to a GPS receiver (either bundled or via Bluetooth)
