![]() Where Cyclemeter lacks is in the total statistics area. Every update has been stable and working well. Also, the automatic reporting to Twitter & Facebook (and others) works well.Ībvio, the developer is working hard on making the tool even better and come with regular updates. Very accurate (GPS & speed, it also supports auto-pause) and very easy on battery power.Ĭyclemeter also supports live (or near-realtime) transmission of ANT+ data (HR etc.). But even without the key the app worked great. In fact, I just bought one today, preparing for the 2013 season. It also supports ANT+ key (Wahoo Fitness Fisica Key). It supports livetracking (automatic upload every 5 minutes) and is very stable. Have been using Cyclemeter (iPhone app) for the whole 2012 season. If you really only want apps that transmit technical data too, then feel free to remove this comment but I’d love it you could expand on why. I’ll send them a glympse and they can find me. Maybe someone is trying to find me in a crowd outside or trying to find where I’m parked. What I also enjoy about live tracking apps is I can send it to people so they know how far I am from reaching my destination, especially if I’m picking people up at their location or trying to time a meal to be ready when I or they arrive. Other uses of (but not limit to to just) Glympse They just went through a complete revamp of the app UI and are continually tweaking it. Within the app, you can view how many times someone viewed your “glympse”. It can text, email, twitter, or facebook the link for people to view and is smart enough to know where the viewer came from. It will provide a “tail” of where you have been (requirement 2). It will show your location (requirement 1) with the speed you are traveling in MPH/KPH (partial requirement 3). So my wife can locate my remains if I don’t return from a training run or ride. ![]() So my sherpa doesn’t have to stress out missing me cross the finish line of a race.Ģ. My purpose of using a Live Tracking app is two-fold:ġ. Naturally, the reason I ask this is because my favorite live tracking app has a more general purpose than those using it for athletic purposes. Hopefully you’ll have an honorable mentions section of your post :). You know your audience more than me but I have a feeling there might be some people hitting this page that don’t require that functionality. I think transmitting that information would be great if you were working in tandem with a coach or someone who knew how to translate that information and provide instant feedback during your workout/race otherwise, I’m not sure why it is a required feature. I think it would great if you could expand on requirement number 3. So over the next 3-4 weeks as I’m on near nonstop travel around the globe, I’d like to test out different options and will include them in a compiled post with all the pros and cons of each. But I know there’s many others out there I’m not aware of. ![]() For example, Runkeeper has some functionality (that’s even used by other apps too). And in general, I find it works pretty well.īut I know there’s more. I quite often use the Garmin Fit app which has live tracking of both position, as well as ANT+ sensor data – including Power, Heart Rate, Speed and Cadence. I thought it might be interesting to put together a post on all the options you have. But in particular – apps that also live transmit sensor data – such as ANT+, Bluetooth, or Bluetooth Smart. For example, my favorite tri apps, or apps for finding swimming pools, etc…īut I’ve been thinking lately about what apps are out there that offer live tracking while you’re out there running, cycling, or rambling around. So instead, I like to include apps in others posts as relevant to that topic. I’m often asked to do phone app reviews, but as I explain in my FAQ page (which, btw, continues to grow), the rate of change of phone apps makes reviews all but meaningless within days or weeks.
