Run.GPS Live Tracking

Run.GPS Live Tracking makes it possible for everyone to track your position on the web. This feature can be used

• for training monitoring (a trainer can follow his trainee on the screen)
• during competitions (follow the positions of all athletes using the system and see who's on top)
• for finding your friends
• as a security feature (for instance when going alone to the mountains people will know your last position in case of an emergency).

Important Notice: not only you or your trainer can follow your position - EVERYONE knows where you are and might use that information against you. Be careful using this feature.

There are two requirements for using Run.GPS Live Tracking:

• you must have an Internet connection (GPRS or UMTS)
  • constantly using an Internet connection over your phone may be expensive, but
    • this feature transmits only very little data (only the position and authentication information)
    • you may choose a flatrate contract from your mobile network operator
    • you can set the update frequency to a low value
• you must be signed up at http://www.gps-sport.net (this service is free)
