As soon as you install the SportsTracker Pro app, you are given a tip, which says that this is an app for outdoor use only. And how right the makers are.

This is the app for those who like to get fit, as well as muddy and wet. You con create, upload and monitor your outdoor pursuits - whatever they may be.

The user interface is one of the slickest we've seen. For ease of use, it's split into four categories: Start, Start Live, Recent Tracks and All Tracks. Once you enable GPS, the app gets to work.

If you're a cyclist for example, you choose that category and then add in any other details you like. For example, it might be giving your race a name.Then you can begin. Whatever your chosen pursuit, the app will track how fast you are going, what your distance is, how long you have been going for and other statistics. You can also view a map of where you are going and you can view your workout in chart form.

And that's just the tip of the fitness iceberg with this thoroughly comprehensive app. You can also upload all of your tracks online, get web widgets and live track your performance - impressive stuff, but not that cheap.
