Using Map My Walk alongside the podcast

[birdistheword]

Has anyone used the app to tell you where to go on your route while running? First time I'm about to do it today and just wondered how its done or what it was like?

I downloaded RunKeeper runkeeper.com which is a free app and start them both together. Run keeper runs in the background and is really easy to use. It maps out your route, works out calories burned, distance, speed etc. Can highly recommend it.

I use MapMyWalk to record my run rather than to follow a route but haven't tried to use it for directions. not sure you can do this on the free app for Android ?

I've got an iPhone, the answer is, map my walk doesn't tell you any directions!!

Bad run today!

Not sure if any app tells you where to go. I know endomondo will show you the route and where you are in it, but it won't tell you when you to turn

I use it also to record mine so I can put my calls into my fitness pal which I use to track my eating and exercise. I find I like running and just taking random turns, always ending up somewhere new. But I believe you can plan a route in advance on the website? Haven't checked it out but thought I'd read that somewhere

Does it sync to myfitnesspal automatically like endomondo?
