yay for another new app

yes, after running the app during my walk today, i am excited... like the free navigator that saves me th money i would have spent on a gps for the car, this app saves me the money i would spend on a wrist-gps-chronograph.... at least for now... the primary drawback is having to carry the phone... there is also the distraction of making laps... i imagine even a wrist model would need to be told when i lap, but it might not take unlocking the screen to do it... exploring the features, it has a gps that maps the precise route i run so specifically, every lap shows up as a different line on the map because i don't take the exact same path/steps each lap... so not only do i get a map, i get an exact measurement of distance and time, mph, and other stats...

there is a way to log into the app's website to upload the data, analyze it further, and connect with others walking, jogging, running, or cycling in the local area at a similar pace... this may be explored further when i get past the initial body-shock and i am ready to share the exercise experience... until then, the app gives me all i had been recording using the stopwatch app and then some...
