tested the SPORTS TRACKER software today, it works good with my E65 and holux 240. but there is one strange thing. im getting to high "average speed"
and when i choose the "map" section ill only get a black screen with some line. shouldnt i get like a "GPS maps" or something??? it would be cool to have the google maps there

here are some screenshots
 
What does this program do?

EDIT: nevermind.

This program looks interesting.
It does the same stuff as GPS Track, but it's an actual SIS instead of a Java app.

I'll try this when I get home.

Nokia Sports Tracker is a GPS based activity tracker that runs on S60 smartphones. Information such as speed, distance and time are automatically stored to your training diary. To be able to use application for real, you need Nokia S60 3.0 phone with Bluetooth GPS device or Nokia S60 3.0 phone with integrated GPS.
FAQ

Which Bluetooth GPS devices are supported?

The application has been tested with Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS module, but any Bluetooth enabled GPS module known to work with your phone should work. Most of the GPS modules have been designed primarily for car navigation use, therefore their performance in low speed (e.g. walking) may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
How do I install the application?

There are two options: a) use phone browser to access this page and click installation link at the bottom of the page or b) download the installation package to your computer and perform the installation using PC Suite
My track plot has odd jumps and/or the measured distance seems to be too big.

Some GPS receiver are more susceptible to positioning signal strength variations than others. Poor visibility to satellites may cause the calculated position to wonder around, increasing the apparent traveled distance. The situation can be especially challenging in urban canyons (tall buildings blocking the satellite view). User should position the GPS device so that it has clear view to the sky.
What phone models are compatible with the application?

List of compatible phones is next to the download link below. The application is compatible with latest Nokia S60 3rd edition phones, such as N71, N73, N75, N76, N80, N81, N91, N92, N93, N93i, N95, E50, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, E90, 3250, 5500 Sport, 6290, 6110 Navigator.
Can I see the recorded workout on a map?

Currently the application does not contain any map content; stay tuned for an update. If you want to see your recorded track on the map, you can export the workout to a file in KML format (in workout summary choose Options->Save as->Export to Google Earth) that can be visualized using 3rd party applications, such as "Google Earth"
 
The line with black background is right. Nokia is plotting your course relative to where you start, so no map is needed. You can also export to Google Earth to see the places you've been. Adding maps for every place would require a much bigger download like smart2go. Covering the entire U.S. would require more than 1.5 gigs.
 
wow nokia answered offroaders prayers!! well sortof...only if it automtically set the course on a map, but i guess that leaves room for improvement! i could see using this dirtbiking, and mountain biking!!
 
this is actually done with the 5500 without the need for for a GPS, it is done through sensors, however i think with gps this is more accurate as far as distance covered is concerned, however with the 5500, calories burned are also included plus there is a sports manager software that is integrated with the Nokia PC Suite to keep track of your training activities like walking, running and i think even with bike...
 
You have to save as "export to google earth" specifically for proper rendering.

Anyway, any ideas why the gps keeps going into Autopause? Is that when I come to a stop or is it a way to save battery?
 
go to settings and change it there so that the phone wont use the auto pause, there is an option were the phone "wont" register if you are walking less than 1 km/h or something like that...
