I think Runkeeper<\/a> is an amazing tool – I use it when cycling<\/a> and I think it’s really interesting to plot your route and analyse your stats.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest problems I have with it is that an IPhone battery will last maybe 3-4 hours while constantly logging GPS. This is fine when running, but on a\u00a0 bike you might be out all day.<\/p>\n

I’d like to be able to manually drop “breadcrumbs” along my way, which will be logged and show my route in real time to friends online.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to pretend I’ve made a tool that’s going to compete with runkeeper, this is purely me playing around with the Google Maps API.<\/p>\n

I’m using the Google Gears Geolocation functionality which gets your latitude and longitude either from your browser’s location settings or your GPS if you are on a mobile device. I’m using an HTC Hero<\/a> which runs the Android operating system, so Google Gears is already bundled. Looks like IPhones don’t (unsurprisingly!).<\/p>\n

I’m going to try and get it up and running for the Leeds to Amsterdam ride<\/a> so that people can track my progress along the way… should they want to.<\/p>\n
