Allsport GPS Mobile App

Whether you're a marathon runner, a cyclist or simply enjoy long walks, there's something new on the market that covers all levels of exercise. The Trimble AllSport GPS Mobile App has just what you're looking! This just released app has integrated more than 20 statistics for the fitness enthusiast. Not only does it allow you to plan ahead by giving you real time weather reports, but you can also search and view maps and parks using the Pro app. This app makes it easy for the user to create a customized training program that provides data on the calories burned at any given time. These are the types of amenities you would expect to see on a dedicated piece of GPS sport equipment.

According to Rich Rudow, General Manager for Trimble Outdoors, "When Trimble set out to create the next generation of our Android app, we first paired active athletes with our Trimble Outdoors Android engineers. Together, they collaborated on design and features. Next, we invited hundreds of people to test-drive the app in a closed beta for three months. The result is an AllSport GPS that's fine-tuned to the specific needs of outdoor fitness fans and the fastest growing smartphone market in the U.S."

In other words, before its launch, this app was seriously road tested by a mixture of athletes representing various types and styles of exercise regiments. For more than three months, researchers had 350 users putting the app through its paces. Over the three month period, the researchers recorded 1,800 activities of all types. More than 17,000 miles had been clocked and approximately 9 million calories were burned in all. Listed below are some of the features included with this app.
