Since I updated my iPhone to 3.0 I discovered few great applications (they were running on 2.2.1 as well but why to be bothered about this?). Today I tested out MotionX GPS. What is this? Simply it’s a tool for active people who want to track their moves while riding on bike, walking, gliding etc. and analyze their performance or simply share info with friends.
It has a lot of functions, for me most fun was map tracking and possibility to export my track to Google Maps or even Google Earth! You can easily set way-points, change routes, there is also compass function and lots of other functions. You can check your time, average/max speed and all that things in just one window. When you’re done you can simply export your data to e-mail with Google Maps link along with *.kmz and *.gpx files! There’s also possibility of integrating MotionX software with Tweeter and Facebook!
What is more, I’m using Beyza’s leather holster to keep my iPhone out of harm, so I ran some iPod, then MotionX and finally hid iPhone to holster (I thought it will loose signal etc.) but nothing like it! It kept signal all the way, to the end! I’m really amazed about this. I’ve also noticed photo mode (if it can point photos to way-points where they’re shot that would be cool!).
Software costs only 2,99$! So even if you won’t have fun using it, you really should check it out.
