Nike+ GPS Now In App Store: Track Your Runs Without $19 Shoe Sensor

Nike has released its Nike+ GPS app in to the App Store this morning, and it allows users with a GPS enabled device to track their runs without the $19 Nike+ shoe sensor accessory. Record your pace, distance and the route you ran using just your device’s built-in GPS and accelerometer.

It’s a $1.99 app and it does a whole lot of impressive stuff: motivational messages from Nike’s top athletes aim to push you further to improve your workout and reach your goals, while your personalized ‘PowerSong’ is designed to give you that extra boost.

Voice feedback as you run to tells you how you’re doing and when you’ve finished, you can upload your stats to your Nikeplus.com account (free) to compete with friends, join challenges, set goals and connect with the rest of the Nike+ community.

    Amazing how long it’s taken Nike to do this. So long, in fact, that I know precisely no-one that bothers with Nike apps now—everyone’s moved to (the superior) RunKeeper.

    Wish it worked with the 3G then I could eBay my Nano, I guess I have to wait until my O2 contract is up and I get the 4.

    It works only with 3G connection active, right..?
