Nike announced the availability of its new Nike+ GPS Application on the App Store.
The new Nike+ GPS Application allows runners to use their iPhone to visually map every run while tracking pace, distance, time and calories-burned as well as to stay motivated with instant feedback during and after each run from athletes such as Paula Radcliffe and Lance Armstrong, to comedian Tracy Morgan. The application also connects runners around the world or just down the street through nikeplus.com, the largest running community in the world with more than three million members.
Run anywhere
From indoor to outdoor, track to treadmill, this new application combines the power of GPS technology with an accelerometer to map and track a run from anywhere. Even if the GPS signal is not available, the accelerometer will allow the user to continue to track their pace, distance, time and calories-burned.
Map your runs
GPS technology allows runners to keep track all of their routes including a breakdown of pace and distance at different points during a run. Runners can even tap the screen during a run to see their current location.
Challenge yourself
The “Challenge Me” feature allows runners to challenge themselves to run farther, faster, or longer than a previous run already logged. The application will also track run history to personalize challenges.
Stay connected
Runners can wirelessly connect with nikeplus.com after each run to share it with friends via the site, Twitter or Facebook. In addition, they can view their progress on goals, participate in running challenges and download coaching programs.
Stay motivated
Runners receive motivating messages from top athletes and celebrities when specific customized goals are achieved, challenges are won or when a personal best is achieved. Runners can also tap the iPhone screen to receive
