[Closed] which sports tracking app for android (HTC Desire)?

I use MyTracks - excellent integration with google maps and nice stats to play with. I use it to train with.

usuing mytracks/googlemaps you can overlay all your rides onto one map, showing stats of each one.

excellent, and free!

My tracks is good for route mapping and speed/time/stats, but I'm trying cardiotrainer too at the mo, while ignoring its built in calories used thingy..

+2 for Mytracks - use it for running and riding now. AFAIK everything can be downloaded and analysed.

+3 for my tracks.

Sportstracker seems quite good (and free) - gives you a fair bit of info (distance, max speed, height gain/loss, etc) and intgrates with google maps.

How the flipping heck do I get it onto my HD2. I've got marketplace but not android market.
Help

hd2 runs windows mobile doesn't it?

Yep. HD2 runs windows mobile. You need an Android phone for the android market place.:)

Cardiotracker and Viewranger would be my recommendations

Cardiotrainer.

use navicomputer on the HD2.

I've run a bunch of those. Annoyingly, nothing quite has the same features that the nokia one had -

Most obviously I want both: daily / weekly / monthly / yearly statistics (how much I rode each month), which mytracks doesn't do.

And to be able to share my rides and the list of rides I have done with anyone out there, which endomondo doesn't do.

Endomondo does everything except the last, but you can only share with 'endo-friends' i.e. people who have registered on the site.

It would be ideal if the statistics and list of rides was stored on the device as well as on the internet, as that makes it much quicker to just check up on how much riding I've been doing - but it seems nothing does that. Oh and a nice calendar interface to the ride list would be great too.

Cardiotrainer is very limited in what information you get about the ride.

sportstracker seems nice, although the ride sharing and statistics is a pay feature - I'm slightly put off by that, as it means I'm unlikely to know other people using it, so won't get to use the competitive features.

my tracks gives you information about the total amount of riding you've done ever, but doesn't have weekly / daily / monthly / yearly breakdowns.

+n for MyTracks (though to be fair, that's all I've tried so far). I'm doing a 10k run on Sunday, so I've been using MyTracks to record my practice runs as well as mountain biking outings and it's all been pretty slick.

If you want breakdowns one option that might work is, when you upload from MyTracks to Google over the air it gives you a Google Docs option. This populates an Excel-a-like spreadsheet based on the 'activity' field on the track; potentially you could put your activity as "mtb-May" etc and it'd create a separate sheet for each month containing rows of rides. Alternatively, create one huge master document and c&p the data locally into Excel to process it however you like. Sorry if this isn't particularly clear, it's hard to explain and a lot more obvious what I'm describing if you just try it and take a look.

I'm open to other suggestions, mind, so keep 'em coming. (-:

Yeah, I can see that I could write some code, or copy / paste stuff into excel, but it is annoying that most of these apps don't do it, the whole point of using an automated system is so I don't have to do analysis by hand.

I mean surely they've seen nokia sports tracker, which is what they're all trying to rip off, they could at least implement most of the features in that as a base. On that, I could just go to 'summary' and see a summary of weeks, months, years, even split by sport if I wanted.

I guess with mytracks, I could make a spreadsheet that references into my master spreadsheet and has a bunch of formulas in it to make the graphs I want, but it would be a right old pain.

*nods* totally agree, I'm just trying to suggest workarounds really. I don't know of any apps that do precisely what you're describing, and if I did I'd be using them myself (-:

Yeah, I just wish I had a bit more time - it isn't that complex an app to write, but my list of stuff to program in my spare time is a bit long at the moment, and the new baby is not going to help that.

Runkeeper. I know it says 'Run' but its a lot better than that. Good app and good website. Unlike many apps Runkeeper is constantly being developed and improved

I use runkeeper pro on the iphone and its the best I've found. constant development, lots of extra features on the website and I assume the android version has much the same features.

i'm probably going to upgrade to a htc desire from an n95 shortly but i've been using sportstracker for over 2 years now and i've got nearly 6'000km tracked in sportstracker.
i'll prob end up using mytracks and export from the desire in gpx format so i can upload to the sportstracker wesbite

i've got nearly 6'000km tracked in sportstracker.

Me too, about 10,000km. I made a start on a converter/exporter program to work on the files off the memory card, but I haven't had time to finish it off.
