Hello

I am a big fan of SportsDo. www.SportsDo.Net. It tracks your sports activity like snowboarding, cycling, or walking, useing a GPS and PDA. You can see some of the data after the activity on the PDA. Then if you load the data up to the web site, you can see a lot more, like the wole activity overlayed on google maps so you can see where you went, and the speeds you were doing at each spot.

The new 2.2 version just released includes support for the FRWD B600 device from http://www.frwd.fi/index.php?56

This piece of hardware is a Heart rate monitor and GPS unit in one. The HRM and GPS transmit data via Bluetooth to the PDA, and you can then see your speed, location altitude, and heart rate for any particular portion of a sports activity.

The price is a little steep at 299 Euro for the HRM version (B600), but for those who want to keep track of their training, or just want to keep track of their fitness, this is a very cool gaddget.

Cheers
David
