Abstract

In at least one embodiment, a mobile device receives previous route traversal information for a route from a server. During a subsequent traversal of the route, the mobile device determines comparative split information for the subsequent traversal by reference to the previous route traversal information and presents the comparative split information during traversal of the route.

Claims (24)

1. A method for execution by a mobile device of presenting the comparative athletic performance information, the method comprising:

the mobile device receiving previous route traversal information;

during a subsequent traversal of the route, the mobile device determining comparative athletic performance information for the subsequent traversal by reference to the previous route traversal information, wherein the comparative athletic performance information is selected from the group consisting of distance information, pace information, split-time information, and heart rate information;

during a subsequent traversal of the route, the mobile device determining that a particular previous route, which is associated with the previous route traversal information, matches the route currently being traversed, which is associated with one or more time-stamped GPS waypoints that are generated by the mobile device; and

the mobile device presenting the comparative athletic performance information during traversal of the route.

2. A method, comprising:

a mobile device receiving previous route traversal information for a route from a server;

during a subsequent traversal of the route, the mobile device determining comparative athletic performance information by reference to the previous route traversal information;

the mobile device audibly presenting the comparative athletic performance information during the subsequent traversal of the route.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said receiving comprises the mobile device wirelessly receiving the previous route traversal information.

4. A method, comprising:

a mobile device receiving previous route traversal information;

during a subsequent traversal of the route, the mobile device determining comparative athletic performance information for the subsequent traversal by reference to the previous route traversal information;

the mobile device presenting the comparative athletic performance information during traversal of the route.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the mobile device receives the previous route traversal information prior to beginning the subsequent traversal of the route.

6. The method of claim 4 , and further comprising:

the mobile device processing GPS signals and generating current time-stamped GPS waypoints;

the mobile device comparing a location specified by the one or more current time-stamped GPS waypoints to locations specified by previous route traversal information stored on the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said comparing of locations comprises determining if the locations specified by the previous route traversal information are located within a minimum distance of the one or more current time-stamped GPS waypoints.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said comparing of locations further comprises determining that a particular previous route, which is associated with a particular set previous route traversal information, matches the route currently being traversed, which is associated with the one or more current time-stamped GPS waypoints.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein the previous route traversal information comprises distance information.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the previous route traversal information comprises pace information.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein the previous route traversal information comprises split time information.

12. The method of claim 4 , wherein the previous route traversal information comprises heart rate information.
