Default Skiers - Nokia Sports Tracker

a cool bit of FREE software that logs GPS data on your Symbian OS Nokia (or other) phone

i installed it before my skiing holiday last week and recorded a few runs down the hill to get an idea of my peak speed. i was slightly disappointed that i only got 75 kmh (46 mph), but the pistes had not been prepared and had a good few inches of fresh snow that slows things down a bit. next year i will aim for at least 80 kmh (50 mph). that doesn't sound like much, but when you've got 2 planks of wood strapped to your feet flapping about it's fast enough

you can upload the data to the nokia sports tracker website for sharing and analysis. it shows you where you have been using google maps (and satellite images).





see this for an example

could also be used in car for recording lap times etc (did someone mention the 'ring?)
