Nike+ GPS
This morning I was browsing Engadget like I do everyday, and something caught my eye. The Engadget team posted a Review for the Nike+ GPS App! I had no idea Nike / Apple had this in the works and it is a very welcome surprise!
As you may or may not know, I run with both the Nike+ Sportband and a Garmin 405. The reason I wear two devices is pretty simple. I enjoy the super accurate GPS data of the Garmin, but also really like the social aspects of the Nike+ community. So I can’t really pick one over the other.
This app can be used on a iPhone or iPod touch. So for those of you who own either of these devices, its a slam dunk! I am not a big fan of apple products so I own neither, however, there are a few really great benefits to this app:
- Super accurate GPS data!
- No more Nike+ footpod (you can wear whatever shoes you want!)
- No more Nike+ sportband
- No more Apple adapaters
- Great price ($1.99)
The Nike+ GPS App can be downloaded right now from the App Store and appears to address all the current short coming of the Nike+ system. It has gotten stellar reviews all around, and for only $1.99, what are you waiting for! 
Sounds great. Now they need to make one for Android.
Agreed! Windows Phone 7 too when it comes out. Although, Im not super excited about running with my expensive smartphone and getting it all sweaty…
I didn’t think the iPod touch has GPS. How does it work without it?
From Engadget: “And all it asks in return is access to the accelerometer and GPS modules inside your iOS 4-equipped iPhone or iPod touch (the latter’s lack of GPS means it loses out on route mapping, but all other features are retained).”
Is there an ipad version of this?
LOL, are you planning on running with your iPad?
