Hi, Does anyone know of a really good sports type gps tracker software?
I'm a keen cyclist and i'm sure there are lots of other outdoor types who would welcome a good, easy to use application with a full feature set. Samsung have just launched a phone with this in mind, Nokia already have one so it must be a growing market.
I had a Nokia N80 and downloaded Their Sports Tracker application and it was great. Just the stuff you needed - Timers, average speed, max/min speed, altitude, climing speed etc, even took out standing time (i think). You could upload to google maps if you wanted which was fine but not essential.
The Samsung mentioned earlier has music too geared to your activity.
I've tried lots of PPC apps like tracky and trackme and GPS tuner but the just dont seem to fit the bill, they are either too heavy and complicated and use too much memory or they are too simple with not enough usefull data.
I'm really suprised Windows mobile haven't got a better app for this - or maybe there is and I just don't know it yet.
Any Ideas - suggestions?

i agree, Nokia's Sports Tracker is GREAT !! no WM application can do that kind of stuff for now for FREE !!
so developers here is niche app to develop and get famous !
I think run.gps is really great, but it's not free.
Hi, do you only check for free app ?
If not you can try Run.GPS, very nice and perfect for many sports !
Hi All,
I've just been given an Omnia 7 and I'm not sure what to do with it.
I have an HTC Wildfire (Unlocked running CM) and my initial thoughts were to put CM on the Omnia, after a bit of research I found this wasn't possible.
So do I migrate from Android to Wm7 on the Omnia (and how would I copy my contacts etc) and is it worth it?
I don't expect an answer to: is Android better than WM7 (nor is this the place for it) but has anyone else came from Android to WM7? Anyone prefer the Omnia over the Wildfire etc? Are there like for like apps between Android and WM7? Things like Task killer, utils, games etc
If I do use the Omnia is it worth upgrading (as per the great guides on here) and what version should I upgrade to?
I also notice that the links to the Samsung USB Driver/Flash utilities don't work any more, does anyone have a copy of they available to dl?
Appreciate I'm asking a lot here, any advise would be greatly received.

Just to point out that it's not AMOLED Plus, it's just SuperAMOLED. Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 7.7 (the new one) and Galaxy Nexus are the top-tier devices for the moment utilizing Super AMOLED Plus display matrix.
Like i said to derik123derik123, i´ll try to put my toughts in a parcial way...
First of all, i´ve been always merging between iOS and Android,like them a lot, lived with it for years, all kinda of mobiles, jailbreakin, rootin,flashing custom, downgradin, even opening to change hardware parts...
Last year i had Motorola Atrix 4G and iPhone 4S, great ones, but without the opportunity to live with an oficial ICS ROm, i sold Atrix and in this January without jailbreak and tired of iOS, sold iPhone 4s....
Now, i had the opportunity and bought and Samsung Omnia 7...remember when you´re a kid and saw that toy in TV or Movie and when you got it sounds just more perfect then you could thought? When sounds that you will pass your entire life with it spending all minute just adoring it?
Well, i felt just like when started to use Omnia 7 with Mango 7.5, i really felt happier each time i scrolled my finger, the system is so fluid, so fast, so responsive, its beautiful, its simple, modern and intuitive, you dont have to dig its already there in your face.
For the first time i felt that my years with Droid and iPhones passed...Microsoft has now conquered me and surprised with an inteligent innovation, they just create something unique, there is nothing in their system that remebers Android or iOS, they have their identity.
I think that if you like the new, the unique and different, Windows Phone 7 it´s a new and beuatiful world to explore all time.
Well I took your advice. I gave my Wildfire to the wife (Her G1 was getting a bit long in the tooth) and installed mirolg's excellent rom.
I'm now sat here with the Omnia running the mirolg unlocked rom and I'm impressed! Google/Facebook/Linkedin contact all came across and worked perfectly.
Yes the screen is very nice, must get some video to play on it. Just a few niggles though if anyone can help.
It would be nice to be able to turn on/off 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS from the start screen. I've installed toggle but it only does 3G and Wifi, anyone know of an app that does all 4?
Slightly annoyed that there is no SD slot to upgrade the capacity, I though most phones came with this these days.
On a much wider note are there any 'must have' apps or games on this device? What do you lot run and recommend?
Look forward to the replies!

Thanks again for all the help! Supreme shortcuts is exactly what I wanted and I've installed most of the apps mentioned by the awesome mirolg.
Phone is now almost perfectly setup...........apart from Zune! For a start it's seems unnecessary as I was used to drag and drop on Android, but I can live with it.
What I can't live with is the way it won't copy a full album over! I have a lot of Audio Books, I do a lot of driving and I find them better than music.
They are all ID3 marked up and work fine on all other devices. I sync them up with the Omnia 7 and for some reason it copies over file 1,2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 etc!!
I really don't understand why it will not copy the FULL contents of the album, I've checked the tags, they are all good, all files are there and play on other devices, I have removed and re added the library, but no. It does not seem to work!
Also, a very strange thing. I fully charge the phone, connect Bluetooth in the car and the phone to USB to charge and by the end of my journey (6Hrs) the phone battery is nearly dead! I havn't used the phone for anything, 3g, Wifi, GPS all turmed off!
Any idea why the phone seems to discharge? I know the USB port on the Car Stereo is fine as I have used other phones with it.
Thanks again, I'd appreciate any advice!

Hi guys, with new firmware for Garmin Fenix GPS watch, i can connect my LG G2 to Fenix witch no problems over bluetooth 4 LE. Please some more experienced dev, tell me some hints if its possible to write some app for use smartwatch functions like notifications etc. At now Fenix works like smartwatch, shows notifications etc. but only witch iphone. I want to write some app but dont want to loose time if its not possible and somebody can tell me it.
Edit: Simply ma question is. Is it such easy like i can use android bluetooth api, few lines of code, or is there some bigger magic?
My question is, can I follow an Endomondo route on a smartwatch?
I ride bike and sometime I create new routes, I would like to follow these new routes not on the mobile but viewing maps on a smarthwatch with the mobile in the back poket.
Interesting question, I'm also wondering...
