I only know what is on that page but that does sound reasonable. I usually walk the unicycle at street crossings and I go pretty slow over the two pedestrian overpasses, although I'm proud to say I can ride over them, but need to dismount sometimes at the turns. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Here's some info from a review of the app by PC Magazine. It appears that you can hide some key data from public view, but need to work at it:

In the case of the Wizard, BlockShopper News Service, revealed his address the price he paid for his home, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and his wife's name along with a biography and list of accomplishments (sparing only the names of his children). So in general I would say he doesn't need to act like a 21 year hot blonde that someone can track via Strata. But in general, it probably is not a good idea to post that you are out of your home between 9:10 and 9:55 every day of the week, and you will be running by some dark park alone. |

Yep. The route I did today started from my house. I might have not done that if my address were not already in the public domain. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

No. Did I mention that somewhere? I initially chipped it in a bike race when I was about 10 or 11. The latest crown, which was done in 2003, finally gave out on Sunday night. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

It will ignore non-moving time if you put it in as a race. Lots of good detail in there, though sometimes the elevation maps they use are -questionable-.
The premium version isn't worth it for runners, but many cyclist I know swear by it. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Goals, better comparison with other people on segments, couple of extra tracking options when you review your past results (useful breakdowns for cyclists more than runners). Nothing worth $45/year to me. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |
