The Running Gypsy 1.03

The Running Gypsy 1.03 is considered as an easy to use iPhone GPS application designed for you to track distance, pace, and speed all from your iPhone while you run or jog. You can even listen to your music in the background turning your iPhone into a self-contained fitness device.

Because it is based on the GPS in the iPhone, the accuracy is limited to situations where the GPS receiver cannot get a good lock, so this application will not work with any accuracy indoors or around tall buildings.  Also, the way that the application was tuned, the accuracy is not perfect at speeds lower than 3 mph, but works better at light jogging and running speeds, closer to 4.5 mpg – 8mph.
 
One other point to watch out for. When the GPS receiver is first started, it can sometimes take running close to an 1/8 to a 1/4 mile before it starts registering updates. It will still be accurate but it will appear that your iPhone is not registering any distance information for a brief period of time.  Once it starts registering, it will respond as expected for the rest of the workout.
 
The Running Gypsy also allows you to save a set number of workouts (currently set at 30 workouts) so you can review them later with all of the lap information intact.

Requirements:

• iPhone 2.0 software update
