Here's a free app that tracks outdoor activities. nogago connects to the GPS in your BlackBerry smartphone and then keeps track of your travels, speed and how far you went. It works with the most popular BlackBerry smartphones including our readers' favorites the BlackBerry Tour, BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Curve 8900 as well as most recent BlackBerrry models. We name it BlackBerry Storm/Tour App of the Day for outdoor tours.
The nogago BlackBerry app lets you:
- Measure the time, distance and speed of your travels
- Record and view your tracks (while on the go and later when you are back home on your PC.)
- Navigate along prerecorded tracks (you can find many, many thousands of tracks at gpsies and other GPS track communities).
The nogago website has an online search function to help your find tracks to trek for biking, canoeing, bicycling, sailing, running, skating, horse riding, sailing and trekking all over the world.
How the nogago app works:
You can create a track log (press "0?) of your movements and share this track with your friends and family when you are back. Press "3? to reset the odometer,
whenever you want to start over with measuring your time and distance.
This does not affect your track log but resets display, so when back
home you can analyze how far, fast and long you went for what was
recorded.
You can see your traces in the map mode pressing "9? (always facing north) and return to the instrument view by pressing "9? again.
To use the nogago, it would help if you have knowledge basic outdoor navigation and how a compass works.
