Super Mega Worm: I don't know if it's been posted before, but I've been playing it all day, it's so addictive.

Easily one of the best apps since Doodle Jump. It supports Game Center too, I see.

MotionX GPS Lite is free and you can save your tracks.

They can be emailed from the app & the track can be opened in google maps.
if you turn off map data / caching on the app itself it will only use gps, no data

I saw it today on top of the paid charts so had a look. Reviews arent good so gave it a miss seeing as it costs money.

I got it and find it great for catch up

Do you have to use wifi for catchup (it says it on the discription) or can you use 3g?

WhatsApp is brilliant for people on iPhone, BlackBerry and Nokia.

Its allows them all to chat with eachother and only costs 79c.

It even allows chat on the Blackberry only chat service.

Seems to be quite a bit if anger about it being bit paid and ad supported, as well as them advertising shows as being watchable that aren't.

You would need a GPS receiver or a data connection to triangulate position. iPod only has wifi right? Therefor it's a no go

What sort of options have I got for run mapping via ipod touch?
I'm guessing none due to lack of GPS, but its worth asking

This??
Then I think my response fits.

All the ipod touch's have the Nike+ sensor built in AFAIK, the early one just needed the Gen3 software update.

That's no help though, nike is just a pedometer it doesn't map runs on the ipod as there is no GPS device.

You can input your route manually into www.mapmyrun.com

Hi,

Has anyone downloaded the Guardian news app ?

I have heard that it is quite good but just want to see if it gives me more stories than opposed to just visiting the Guardian mobile site ?

Because if it doesnt offer more then there aint really a point in purchasing it.

Thx

I bought it. I cant tell you what it gives you over the website, because I dont use it (the website) anymore, but the app is great. Well laid out and very user friendly. I use it every day.

No it doesn't, not even close actually.

The above is quite obviously possible, maybe or maybe not it exists yet.
but saying that you NEED GPS is wrong.

lol, i know hence why I mentioned map my run. In the post you quoted???

It's a pretty simply question, is there an APP that uses a mapmyrun type interface.
Not an app that uses GPS, not a website (ie mapmyrun) as its arse on safari

jonny_b1 · 28-09-2010 9:04am

Well you seem to know more about it than anyone who's trying to help you here.

Top tip: go to iTunes, search "running".

I think what he's getting at is if you dont have GPS and you dont have 3G (for triangulation) how on earth would Map My Run know where you are at any given time?

I might be completely missing the point here but I really dont see how it would be possible.

3GS will only know where you are based on the nearest mast as far as I know. GPS on your exact position. 2g or whatever its called same as 3G just a little slower.

There is no other way!!

I use runkeeper by the way

buy the Nike+sensor for your shoe..
you basically calibrate it for your pace and it works off that...
It doesn't work on the itouch 1st gen but I think that the 2nd gen and onwards all have the sensor built in so you only need the part for your shoe

I use it all the time in the gym on the treadmill and find it excellent, the website is excellently done and tracks all your runs, total mileage, fastest mile etc...really motivates me

Navmii is free today. Sat Nav with Ireland and UK Maps, doesnt need a connection when you want to use it apparently as all the maps are stored on the device. Nearly 300MB download but definitely looks to be worth it.
