Waze is a free social mobile app that enables drivers to build and use live maps, real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation for an optimal commute. It's 100% powered by users the more you drive the better it gets. Unlike other navigation solutions, Waze "crowdsources" its map-making process, reliant on its users to switch the app on when driving around town. Then, using the phone's built-in GPS capabilities, Waze uses the information sent back to create base maps and determine traffic patterns in order to warn other users of traffic jams ahead.

Waze was made available internationally about 2 weeks ago, and map coverage for Singapore is above 20% in less than one week. While it may not be ready to replace your conventional GPS just yet, it gets closer every day as more roads are mapped and more users join the service. So for early adopters who are interested to join the community of drivers in your, download Waze at,

  1. m.waze.com for Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian users
  2. Apple iTunes Store for iPhone users

If you train outdoors, here is a cool App that let's you track your activities.

 It is the best app I found in it's class for these reasons:
 
  • easy to use
  • beautiful, simple interface
  • let's you pre-assign a playlist that starts when you start your training (pro version)
  • elegant audio cues that inform you during your activity (choose between per minute, per 5 minutes, per km/mi notifications etc.)
  • amazing developers, listening to user feedback and constantly improving the app
  • let's you create custom trainings and guides you by the audio cues through them
    (e.g 5 min warmp-up > 2km steady > 1min. slow > 1km. fast > 2 min. slow > 5 min cool down)
  • beautiful page online with stats for each activity, that updates automatically each time you upload one
    (see my 10km race stats @ 27th Athens Classic Marathon http://bit.ly/1kh4DB
    )
There's a free version for you to evaluate the app but its real power comes through the audio cues that let you monitor your progress/time/pace/distance without even looking at your phone.
 
Pros: simple, beautiful, organized, customizable
Cons: price €7.99

Sods law that 1 week after fitting a Nike + pedometer sensor in my Asics running shoes (scalpel, needle & thread required) a good WinMobile app turns up.

The sportypal (who thinks of these names) app uses inbuilt gps on the phone to track speed, altitude, location on Google maps, calories burnt etc.

It links to Facebook and Twitter too so you can boast about your holier than thou keep fit efforts and personal bests.

I was a bit sceptical about getting the GPS tracker to work with
Jolicloud on my Netbook, my past dalliances with various flavours of
Linux have all proved to be a bit painful to say the least. However,
after last night I can gladly say I was pleasantly surprised when I
managed to get Boomer to recognise the GPS tracker over Bluetooth and
then make a serial connection to it. Ok, good thus far, surprised that
it's working to be honest, but the Tracker software I found had to
talk to the box, and even though it listed up to about 14 different
serial ports nothing was working.

Just as I was muttering muffled curses under my breath about the usual
joined up Linux thinking I found a menu item that would let me refresh
the com ports. I did so and viola!

A new option for rfcomm appeared in the com port list and when
selected the Tracker app burst into life. I managed to extract the
track log and work out how to get it converted in the application to a
kmz file, this was then put into Google Maps and it all worked. Under
Linux!

Woo!

This is quite good because it means that I don't have to put Windows 7
back on Boomer if I am travelling, I can stick with Jolicloud which I
am more than happy with and everything I wanted to work, works.

This weekend I received two of my toys with which I plan to make good
use off while undertaking my 101 tasks.

The first item is pretty dull, it is a 3G Expresscard 34 card for my
Netbook. Nothing too special or exciting here, it isn't USB as I
really don't like the USB 3G dongle/modems, it slots into the Netbook
but still sticks out a fair chunk. It works though, which is the main
point, I had a spare T-Mobile sim card on which I activated the 5 days
for £2.50 broad band and gave it a test. It worked, what's more
surprising is that when I plugged it into Boomer, my Lenovo S10e
Netbook, which is running Jolicloud a derivative of Ubuntu, it
recognised it as such and let me set up the connection to T-Mobile.
Colour me impressed.

The second item which I received was my GPS tracker. This, I'm having
fun with. Currently I have an Android phone, specifically an HTC Hero,
which is actually growing on me a great deal. On that I've installed
an app from Google called "My Tracks". It uses the internal GPS to
track where you go and then it uploads the maps to Google Maps, so you
can browse them there. I find it quite enjoyable looking over trips
I've taken like that. Sadly though, it drains the batter of the phone
like nothing else. When I got my first Android phone, the G1, I was in
London and turned the tracks on, the phone lasted a whole 4 hours
before it died. That barely covered me from the hotel near Paddington
to Greenwich. Which is annoying because the ride on the Thames Clipper
service is an interesting map to look at.

So as I plan on doing a number of interesting things, like take
helecopter, boat and seaplane rides, travel to the furthest reaches of
Russia and so on, I wanted a better way of tracking my movements.

I had a quick look about and discovered a USB stick type GPS tracker
but it was about £100, fine but I decided to check ebay after that and
found trackers that were just slightly larger than a box of matches
for about £30. Kerching. Sold!

I gave it a try over the weekend, now the interesting thing about this
tracker is that you can specify the rate at which it records your
track, so the first trip, the one in purple was taken with the
recorder doing it's thing every 5 seconds. The second trip, the one in
the lurid limeish colour was taken the following day with the setting
changed to record every 5 meters. I think I prefer the second setting
myself, it cuts out a lot of the milling and wavering about that gets
recorded when you are standing still for any length of time.

One thing I've had fun with is loading the tracks into Google Earth
and then following the trips in the virtual helecopter. I think that

would make an interesting screen saver.

If you fancy getting one of these yourself, this is the tracker I picked up Blumax Bluetooth GPS-4043 Recorder Data Logger
