johnyct9760 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:46:50 -0600

the center button need to be re-programed WTF do I need a button on my map for that takes me the middle of the Pacific ocean. IMHO the center button should take you back to your home address.

imapmyride for the Palm Pre?

americantemplar — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:57:47 -0500

Hello,

I was wondering if there's any plan on releasing an imapmyride application for the Palm Pre? As the iphones biggest current competitor I'm sure it would see plenty of use!

Thanks,

Grant

nokia sports tracker import

cyclepaul — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:11:09 -0600

I have a nokia mobile phone and use it to track my rides with gps data. Would it be possable to upload these workouts to map my ride?

i dont know the file type but it contains:-

activity, distance, start time, date, duration, avarage speed, and max speed.

the application is nokia sports tracker running under s60 5th eddition.

This would speed up my data entry

Android!!!

soulboy100 — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:32:31 -0600

MapMyFitness folks,

Please, please, bring out a MapMy.... app for Android. With the number of handsets that are being rolled out for Android, and the Dream/G1 already having GPS, this seems like a great untapped market. And, it would make my life a heck of lot easier. Thanks.

Save pace for imapmyrun

Juhisaha — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:58:46 -0600

Please save the pace when the run is uploaded using iMapmyrun (from the iPhone). This information is tracked anyway, so uploading it should be trivial to include :)

thanks!

Ability to Import Polar XML files

greenmtpedaller — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:55:43 -0600

I know that this suggestion has been posted at least once before, but bears repeating. Being able to import HRM files is great, but many Polar models can't provide data in that format.

Training session data can, however, be easily exported in XML format from a user's personal training diary @ www.polarpersonaltrainer.com. The XML schema is specified at http://www.polarpersonaltrainer.com/schemas/ped-1.0.xsd. Below is a sample file showing one training session. The amount and type of data will vary depending on the device that recorded it. This is from a CS200, with pretty basic workout data. The data is always in metric, with distance in meters, weight in kg, height in cm, speeds in km/hr.

Shoe Milage Tracker

williberg — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:06:15 -0600

It would be great if there was a way to enter on the calendar when new shoes are purchased. I think it would be very helpful to have a way of keeping track of how many miles are on each pair of shoes. For runners with more than 1 pair, there could be a way of selecting which shoes were used when creating a new record on the workout calendar. This would be an easy way for people to know when they need to start looking for a new pair, how long each pair last, etc...

Leaderboard Web Error - % Progress is Wrong

cireynolds — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:11:06 -0600

You need to change the % Progress from a string field to a number field, main reason is because when you sort off of that column you get all of the "9" on top, which is right if they are 98.4% but it is also showing 9.2% on the top. I am searching primarily on the Leaderboard for Goals.

iPhone: No manual input of workout duration? Can't edit workout?

ladyrain — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:57:41 -0600

As of the latest version, I am now unable to manually input a duration for my rides. Why remove this feature?! I rely on my bike's computer to accurately track my ride details and iMapMyRide to save and log them. Now I can only enter a start time and an end time and only down to the minute, not seconds. This doesn't make for very accurate or useful tracking of my workouts. Even worse - once you enter a workout you can only delete it, NOT EDIT IT. This used to be a good app, now it's completely useless to me. Can you tell I'm a bit annoyed? >:(

Multiple Unit input

bpatchen — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:23:10 -0600

If possible, please add the option to select different units for each field instead of a single default for all. KM/Miles, Kg/lbs, etc.

Auto-populate weather into Training Log

Hey Moke — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:36:29 -0500

Other people have probably already suggested this, but I wonder if it would be possible for our daily training logs to be automatically populated with the weather at the time of our run. It seems like this would be easy enough to do. The temperature and humidity for all hours of the day are available on sites like weather.com. It would be nice to have that info available in our logs without having to input it ourselves every day. Just an idea.... Thanks.

iPhone App: Love it, wish there were a "back" button for browsing training

mrowan00 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:11:05 -0600

I wanted to write to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE the iMapMyRun iPhone application! I downloaded it last week and have used it for every run since. I have been fortunate to not experience the application crashing or freezing during any of my runs, as I read about in some reviews. It's been a dream. Only once did it take a while to upload a workout, but eventually it worked. I absolutely love the voice feedback during the run. What a fantastic feature! Thank you for creating such a wonderful and useful application. I look forward to my training runs and to finding new routes. The idea that I don't have to go back to the computer after I run to figure out how far I went is so great! Thank you!

My only recommended improvement is around the "browsing my runs". Once I click on a run and am in the map mode to see the route, I wish there were a "back" button that allowed me to return to the list of runs. Currently, the only way I can see to do that is to click on "Training" back at the bottom of the screen, then go to the runs, then - if I sorted by a different factor - I have to re-sort. That's a bit annoying. If there were a back button, I feel that would solve the issue and make it less of a hassle to quickly browse through all my runs.

Otherwise, fantastic product! Keep it up! Thanks!

Gear Tracker

redundancy

tulrich — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:23:29 -0600

When logging my run, I find "Describe this workout", "What general type of workout is this" and "Activity Detail" so redundant, yet it won't let me proceed without filling out all 3 fields. Any way to make these optional and just fill in "Run"???

Add workout upgrades

flamin trek — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:57:26 -0600

Hi,

I've been using the MApMyRide site for quite a while and usually visit every week or so to add my rides. I use 'add workout' usually beacuse the 'import workout' option needs editing anyway and it works out quicker to use 'add workout'

I would like to see a few upgrades if possible:

more drop down lists to time taken, HR etc , similar to start/end time

take advantage of widescreens a bit more, the site requires a lot of scrolling up and down for not a lot of benefit. There seems to be a lot of space between fields. I often zoom to 75% to see more on each screen.

for workout view at the end, put all the data on one page, not under tabs of detail, map, lap and gear

and on the main page... add the date of the last post in the 'recent cycling forums' section

Thanks

GPS sports recorder

jaimer — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:53:41 -0600

I just begain my run, and looking for a device to record my run. My friend recommends me the NIKE+, but I don't have iPod...

Does anyone use Garmin?

I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGDweNn7vqU from internet. Does any one use this ever? The QSTAZ BT-Q1300S?

Any comments?

Calculator

kdhnyc — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:23:33 -0600

Hello,

Would it be possible to create a calculator to extrapolate your time/splits to specified distances like the 10K, 10 mile, 15K, half-marathon, marathon, etc.? I think it would be fun to know.

Thank you!

Having trouble peaking

rachellu11 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:27:32 -0600

I'm in cross country. Every year, I do better and better through the first 2/3 of the season. Then, as soon as we start backing off on the really hard workouts, my times get significantly worse. I went from a 16:41 to a 17:50 this year. I did get my time back to 17:30 by the end of the season, but I couldn't even get close to the 16s again. This has kept me from going to state for two years now. Also, I always feel the benefits of a workout two or three days after instead of the usual two weeks afterwards. Is it possible just to recover and peak really quickly, so that after one easy week, my peaks already gone? What could be other reasons for my inability to peak? Does anyone have any suggestions?

My Runs.....

Gigrichj — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 19:12:59 -0500

It would be nice to see average pace, average speed, and calories burnt by each of my runs listed. I only see distance.

iPhone app voice

mikeonofray — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:39:42 -0500

The female voice that tells you your workout summay is very robotic and unmotivating. In comparison, the Nike+ voice is easier to listen to and much more encouraging. My suggestion is to improve the MapMyRun app voice to be more realistic and encouraging. Thanks.

Suunto Importer?

Activity detail - Stroller run

d3m — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:03:35 -0500

Is there any way a "Stroller run" category could be added under the Activity Detail in the workout log in order to better estimate how many calories burned during a run while pushing a stroller. I realize that not all strollers or children riding in them are created equal, but an estimation would be nice. For now I'm just adding my sons weight and the strollers weight to my weight when entering the workout.

Right click creation of driving drections for destination route..

ssbelmont — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:30:11 -0500

I would like to be able to create a "directions to get there map" for any given route that is posted. For example, if you find a great route, but do not have directions of how to get to the start point, you must manually navigate the map to find a land mark, then manually generate driving directions to get to the start point.

I don't know about you guys, but I like to take trips to do rides in areas that I am not always familiar with, so I need to create directions somehow.

Right click and simply enter start location and then driving directions and a map should be auto generated for you. This should be easy to impliment.

Regards,

Rick - SS_Belmont

Tracking calories

flyfreedom — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:01:11 -0500

Are there any plans to build or integrate and existing application to track food consumed/calories (e.g. similar to the Daily Plate at www.livestrong.com)? Thanks.

Something like JoesGoals.com

stonewall150 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:46:01 -0500

I think it would be great if you put something like joesgoals on this site, or if you contacted him to maybe just use his formatting and incorporate in the site. I know I'd frequent this site a lot more, if I could do something like that on this site.

Adding routes together

Chubby — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:23:58 -0500

I organise a 220 mile 22 stage relay run around the green belt of London, UK. I also have a walk of approximately the same distance, but with 50 miles of diversions from the run. I have plotted all 22 routes for both events and added route notes to them. I cannot see any way I can add them all together into one large route. It's taken me months to plot the routes and I don't have the time to do them again for one large route. Is there anyway I can just add the routes to each other?

Map my ride for G1

touringcyclist23 — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:43:04 -0600

I see that they have an I Phone application for map my ride. Any plans to do the same for the G1 phone? I would buy that!

iPhone app suggestions

mc2714 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:04:16 -0500

Hey, guys-

Love the iPhone app! Use it on bike rides and when my wife and I take long evening walks.

Often our walks or bike rides will involve a stop at some friends across town, a cafe, whatever. Would like to be able to essentially pause my walk so I record a more realistic snapshot of the pace we kept. I now record it as two seperate walks/rides, which is fine, but I think that a pause function would be preferable.

Also, I do like how the locking function works, not to mention the backlight dimming- both helpful with battery life. A great addition would be an "instant lock" button from the record screen-- I'd hate to accidentally stop recording a workout because of an accidental tap in my pocket
