How do you guys track your runs?

[dustindu4]

I started using Map My Run today. Seems decent. You used to be able to track your location and share it with someone (wife at the camp) while out on the water with Google Maps but the new version doesn't seem to allow it.

What do you use?

Was using Facebook, but lost count around 20 this season.

I just dont. Although it would be pretty cool when island hopping in the Puget Sound. Ferries leave KILLER wakes to jump. Tug boats too.

I use the SportsTracker app on my iPhone.

I am still just too chicken to even seal up my smart phone and take it with me. I literally bought a pre paid cheap phone just for the ski. It makes calls and texts only. Even on contract these things are expensive!

Once I finish the ride and get back home I get out a map and trace the route with a pencil to show my wife.

I don't own a fancy dancy phone or a nice GPS.

I sure do like the details that Sabr provides with his tracking device.

I use this, OCOD posted it a few weeks back, dirty and easy. I like that mapmyrun app you used, I'll have to ask my friend what they use since they are into running and train constantly-and the one guy is into tech.

Here was today's run with me and my boy on my XP. We did a bunch of back and forth runs and some messing around and sucked thru a tank of gas in a few hours. It was nice cause above us just got some good rain and the river is swollen, supposedly it will be another 2' higher tomorrow.

Not quite as detailed as yours, but it at least lets me know roughly how far I went.

I'm with Old School on this one, when I ride my SeaDoo I like getting away from technology. I'm an IT Director by profession. Besides it's impossible to get lost on our lake.

IT System Designer/Integration Specialist for a large American based Aerospace company. The last place I want to bring is work with me on the very thing I use to get away from it. Great call Lou, that explains a lot.

i bought one of these,, Sony Ericsson XPERIA Active ST17i, fully waterproof, comes with handlebar mounts. however, i'm smart phone stupid so i haven't figured out the my track's stuff yet lol... but if your android smart... this is ideal.

now.. i'm subscribing cuz I want to learn how to track on android, all i can do now is use this for gps speed (which is cool)

download google earth ............ then they have tools in left top corner, it will tell you exactly where you went, click your route, it calculates distance and you can email it to anyone -- works real nice

I use a sextant and a compass.

Few have ever used Sextants. I have. I doubt I have spoke to 5 others in my life that know how they actually work.

 

[dustindu4]

I didn't think the GPS would work in the storage compartment, so my phone goes in a dry bag and I tuck it in the top of my life jacket in the front

and that was from google earth eh ? ok.... interesting.

its a free download, and pretty cool, you can type in your address and goes to your house -- also when you are doing the path of where you went, each click totals up the miles that you went, from 1 point to another


upper left hand corner, on google earth, click on tools, then ruler, and then path, then start clickin on your map that you are looking at, and it starts adding up miles

oh, ok, i've done that before when mapping out run's and fuel stops on long river runs to avoid the plot charting with marine units. I thought GE maybe found a way to actually gps track using smart phone. I know with some of the software its pretty easy to do a GE map overlay. I misunderstood
