I like sportstracker. It lets me record by cycle journeys whilst I’m doing them and review my performance or plan the route of my next ride. That’s the theory. In practice, sportstrack captures between 5 to 8 miles and crashes. Today I did 31miles. Sportstracker has a record of the first 5 and the last 15 because I checked it and restarted my phone. It doesn’t just crash the app or reset the phone, it turns the darn thing off. Not ideal.<\/p>\n
One other oddity is that it feels I did a maximum speed of 45.9miles per hour. I was on a bicycle. BICYCLE! My odometer says my max was 31mph which is more believable (there were not any long descents).<\/p>\n
I’m thinking of getting a handlebar mount so I can see when it does crash so I can park up and reset it. I’ll also consider doing a complete reset and rebuild of the phone application load before I next go on a long ride as that may help.<\/p>\n
Google Latitude works well on the N95 by the way. It means loading Google maps when Nokia maps are already loaded. Nokia maps are on the memory card and not downloaded over the wire which is handy when abroad. Google maps and Latitude just go that little bit further and I find it easier to use. Keeping track of my phone’s location over the web is also a neat trick. So I’m keeping them both for now…<\/p>\n
I struggled when I put the ASDA SIM into the N95 beacuse my poor little brain could not convert ASDA settings-speak inot Nokia-speak. Eventually I got there. Here for those that need it are the ASDA settings in Nokia speak:<\/p>\n
