Abstract

Systems and methods for presenting route traversal information are disclosed. The method may include collecting electronic fitness data related to a fitness activity; generating electronic pace data; and displaying a route map and the electronic pace data on a display.

Claims

1. A method for presenting route traversal information comprising:

collecting electronic fitness data related to a fitness activity on a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device further including a microprocessor, a satellite positioning system receiver, a wireless communication transceiver, and a display;

generating electronic pace data based on the electronic fitness data;

displaying a route map on the display, the route map being based on electronic route path information representing a route traversed during the fitness activity, the electronic route path information including global positioning satellite waypoints of the route;

displaying a graphical representation of the electronic pace data as an overlay on the route map such that the graphical representation corresponds to an instantaneous pace at each of the global positioning satellite waypoints.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the electronic pace data adjacent the route map.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic pace data includes an average pace between two or more of the global positioning system waypoints.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying a route map includes displaying a starting point and an ending point of the route traversed during the fitness activity.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a user input on the portable electronic device that corresponds to a position on the route map; and

displaying an instantaneous pace associated with the position.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying the graphical representation includes displaying a color shade variation along the route map, the color shade variation being representative of the instantaneous pace.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the displaying the color shade variation includes varying an intensity of a color.

2. A method for presenting route traversal information comprising:

collecting electronic position data during a fitness activity on a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device further including a microprocessor, a satellite positioning system receiver, a wireless communication transceiver, and a display, the electronic position data including global positioning satellite waypoints from the satellite positioning system receiver;

generating electronic pace data based on the electronic position data;

displaying a route map on the display, the route map being based on the electronic position data and representing a route traversed during the fitness activity; and

displaying a graphical representation of the electronic pace data on the display as an overlay on the route map such that the graphical representation corresponds to a pace based on the global positioning satellite waypoints.

12. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

displaying the electronic pace data along the route map.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein displaying the graphical representation includes displaying a color shade variation along the route map, the color shade variation being representative of an instantaneous pace at each of the global positioning satellite waypoints.

14. The method of claim 2, wherein displaying the graphical representation includes displaying a color shade variation representative of an instantaneous pace at each of the global positioning satellite waypoints.

15. The method of claim 2, wherein displaying a route map includes displaying a starting point and an ending point of the route traversed during the fitness activity.

9. A portable health coaching system, comprising:

a portable electronic device comprising;

a satellite positioning system receiver,

a wireless communication transceiver,

a display, and

a processor configured to;

collect electronic fitness data during a fitness activity on the portable electronic device;

generate electronic pace data based on the electronic fitness data;

display a route map on the display, the route map being based on electronic route path information including global positioning satellite waypoints from a route traversed during the fitness activity; and

display a graphical representation of the electronic pace data as an overlay on the route map such that the graphical representation corresponds to an instantaneous pace at each of the global position satellite waypoints.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to display a color variation along the route map, the color variation being representative of the instantaneous pace.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the displaying the color variation includes varying an intensity of a color.
