Portable fitness systems, and applications thereof
In at least one embodiment, a method includes receiving a description of a route of interest to a user, in response to receiving the description, generating a prospective route based on the description, providing a graphical element corresponding to the prospective route to the user, and scheduling a traversal of the prospective route in a user training database.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a description of a route of interest to a user;
in response to receiving the description, generating a prospective route based on the description;
providing a graphical element corresponding to the prospective route to the user; and
scheduling a traversal of the prospective route for a fitness activity in a user training database.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving a description at a mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting data associated with the prospective route from a server to a mobile device.
4. The method of claim 1 , farther comprising providing a sequence of navigational instructions based on the prospective route.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a route terminal point.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a route distance.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a desired route completion time.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the description further includes a user performance parameter.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes an elevation.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a pattern characteristic.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a safety characteristic.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the description includes a traffic characteristic.
13. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer-usable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, provides route information to a user, the computer program logic comprising:
first computer readable program code that enables a processor to receive a description of a route of interest to a user;
second computer readable program code that enables a processor to generate a prospective route based on the description;
third computer readable program code that enables a processor to display a graphical element indicative of the prospective route to the user; and
fourth computer readable program code that enables a processor to schedule a traversal of the route in a training database of the user.
14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth computer readable program code is stored on a mobile device.
15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving a description at a mobile device.
16. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising fifth computer readable program code that enables a processor to provide a sequence of navigational instructions based on the prospective route.
17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a route terminal point.
18. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a route distance.
19. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a desired route completion time.
20. The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein the description further includes a user performance parameter.
21. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes an elevation.
22. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a pattern characteristic.
23. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a safety characteristic.
24. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the description includes a traffic characteristic.
