Idea - GPS for runners
Thursday, February 17, 2011
Most running / biking / walking applications address the activities by recording the activity for later analyzation. To my knowledge, I haven’t seen an app that assists you in creating and guiding you through an ad hoc run.
A rough idea of an experience with the application:
User is visiting Cincinnati, Ohio and has time for a 30 minute run.
They start the application, input 30 minutes, and it formulates a path for them.
While jogging, they can listen to their music, and will get periodic text-to-speech directions.
Additional options could be to adjust difficulty (more hills, higher pace, etc) and rate produced paths for other users.
It’ll make millions, I tell ya. Millions.
