This function operates when your device is not attached to external power.
How It Works
GoWalking is your personal all-in-one app for running, hiking, walking, golfing, biking and other outdoor activities. GoWalking uses the core location framework to provide location data to calculate the distance you travel on your walk, instantaneous speed and the overall pace for the trip.
Press START when you begin your walk. GoWalking will then begin to collect location data from cell towers, WiFi or GPS. The data is registered at about a 1 sec intervals in the app, which then calculates the distance traveled each interval and adds it to a cumulative distance calculation. The calculations are made in foreground and background modes. Each interval's location points are stored in the app and at any given time you can press the MAP button in the Nav Bar to switch to a MapView.
In MapView, the Google MAP is sized appropriately and your route so far is displayed. When you have completed your route press STOP and your data will be retained on the display until the next start is pressed.
If you remove the app from the background, or turn off the device, you will lose the displayed data and map track. Your data will not be stored outside the application. The next START will not resume your walk but commence a new one.
Display
Elapsed time, distance, speed and pace are continuously displayed on the screen when the view is active.
Time - HH:MM:SS Distance - Miles or Kilometers. Speed - Miles per hour or kilometers per hour (Instantaneous value delivered by the core location API for each interval) Pace: shown in minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer dimension. (Pace is a calculated value derived from elapsed time divided by total distance)
