DCFirst Claim
1. A portable fitness device, comprising:
- a mobile phone including;
a global positioning system (GPS) receiver;
a wireless wide-area network transceiver supporting bi-directional voice communication over-the-air with a wireless communication network; and
a processing unit coupled to the GPS receiver and the wireless wide-area network transceiver, wherein the processing unit receives from said GPS receiver data describing a plurality of waypoints within a route of a fitness activity, determines athletic performance information at multiple of the plurality of waypoints, said athletic performance information including athletic performance information indicative of velocity and at least some of said athletic performance information being determined from the waypoints, and outputs said plurality of waypoints within the route and at least a portion of said athletic performance information to said wireless communication network during traversal of the route via said wireless wide-area network transceiver.

Abstract
A portable fitness device includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that receives GPS signals, a wireless wide-area network transmitter supporting communication over-the-air to a wireless communication network, and a processing unit coupled to the GPS receiver and the wireless wide-area network transmitter. The processing unit receives the time-stamped waypoints from the GPS receiver and determines athletic performance information and route information from the time-stamped waypoints. The processing unit further outputs at least one of the athletic performance information and the route information to the wireless communication network during a human fitness activity via the wireless wide-area network transmitter.
