There is a lot you can do with your Nokia N78. The Sports Tracker is just one of them.
With the Sports Tracker you can map your activity (such as cycling, walking, driving, running etc) through the GPS and position it on Nokia Map. While the activity is ‘on’ you can take pictures that will get tagged on to your route.
This amazing feature will allow you to track your movement in any part of the world on a map (all the while noting details such as speed, altitude, latitude, longitude etc) that you can share with your friends and even other travel enthusiasts such as yourself.
The Sports Tracker therefore is your very own, personal travel map with a photo album thrown in! It is just AMAZING!!!!
Watch the videos to understand the expanse of this feature that Nokia offers ‘simply’ without too much publicity and grandeur.
