Personal training device using GPS data
First Claim
1. A method of aiding a user in reaching performance goals using a personal training device, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a user interface on the personal training device to receive course segment information from the user;
(b) receiving goal information from the user through the user interface, the received goal information corresponding to one or more course segments associated with the course segment information;
(c) storing the course segment information and the goal information in a memory associated with the personal training device;
(d) determining, with a processor associated with the personal training device, performance information using geographic location information, timing information, and the course segment information;
(e) comparing the performance information with the goal information using the processor; and
(f) communicating training information to the user through the user interface, wherein the training information relates to both the goal information and the performance information.
