The application iMapMyRide was recently updated according to the iTunes site, which presents on their page that the latest update of this popular application occurred on January 29, 2011. The purpose of this application which is downloadable on Apple devices for free is to get you on your bike in order to lose some weight and burn the calories you have eaten today.
The bike does not come for free along with the application. MapMyFitness is the developer of the application and if you had an account on mapmyride.com, you can sync the info you had stored on that account with the newest application and in the same time update of this app. The aspplication makes a tracking of your cycling efforts and it will not leave the efforts unrewarded, because you will feel more and more motivated each day to compete with yourself in order to beat your own records. For example, you can set to burn a certain number of calories or to run with your bike a certain number of km.
The app uses the GPS technology, so that when you will get on your bike, the smartphone will know from where you have started your race and where have you reached. In this way, the system will measure your distance, the average speed and other statistics. You will be able to see the elevation, if you are on a mountain, just like those who use the marine GPSs see the depth of the oceans and of the seas where they are with their boats and ships.
You don’t have to take a GPS device with you, if you have your iPhone. Just download this application and benefit of all its advantages. If you do some cycling exercises on your fixed bike, you have to enter manually that data, because the application could not tell if you have been working out in your house or in other way, when you did not use the bike, the real bike that is. Also, if you know that you have done some push ups or other exercises that helped you to lose some calories, you have to mention that in the report you write for this application, because it is wrong to consume more resources than the calories eaten by you in a day.
