Nike+ GPS iPhone app updated, now uses GPS functionality to track your running

Nike+ GPS iPhone app has been updated. The Nike+ GPS app helps you get the most out of every run by tracking where you go and motivating you to take it further. With this app in hand, you can track every indoor and outdoor workout easily, without a sensor. You can record your pace, distance and run route using the iPhone’s GPS and accelerometer technology so you can focus on the road ahead, and relive your run later. Anytime you’re up for a challenge, push farther, faster, or longer to better reach your goals. Then celebrate your victories with fun, motivational messages from Nike’s top athletes. As you run, get voice feedback on how you’re doing or tap the map to see where you are. Then activate your personalized PowerSong for an extra boost.

The iPhone app also lets you quickly send each run to Nikeplus.com where you can brag to friends, join challenges, set goals and connect with the rest of the Nike+ community. The Nike+ GPS app was designed for the iPhone, but it’s also compatible with the iPod touch (without the mapping capabilities). The Nike+ GPS App is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod touch (2nd, 3rd and 4th generations) running iOS 4.0 or later.

Nike+ GPS for iPhone is available for download $1.99 on the App Store in the Healthcare & Fitness category.
