fetching the street view; and

including the street view to the pop-up window, and wherein the dynamic exercise presentation further comprises;

displaying the pop-up window with the street view when the moving pointer is at the location of the particular predetermined event on the travelled route.

6. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

acquiring an indication that a pop-up window for a predetermined event is to comprise content from an indicated internet protocol address;

fetching the content from the indicated internet protocol address; and

including the content to the pop-up window, and wherein the dynamic exercise presentation further comprises;

displaying the pop-up window with the content when the moving pointer is at the location of the particular predetermined event on the travelled route.

7. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise acquiring the exercise data and the location data from a web service, wherein the web service comprises an exercise data user account associated with the exerciser.

8. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise acquiring personal information of the exerciser from the exercise data user account, and wherein the dynamic exercise presentation further comprises displaying at least some of the personal information on the display.

9. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise acquiring information of the at least one sensor used for recording the exercise data and/or location data from the exercise data user account, wherein the exercise presentation further comprises displaying at least some of the information of the at least one sensor on the display, the information of the at least one sensor comprising at least one of a brand, model, type of the at least one sensor.

10. The training device of claim 1, wherein the exercise presentation further comprises:

outputting an audio track during the exercise presentation; and

wherein the operations further comprise;

changing the volume of the currently played audio track based on changes in a predetermined type of exercise data.

11. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise acquiring information of weather conditions at the time and location of the exercise, and wherein the exercise presentation further comprises displaying the weather conditions on the display.

12. The training device of claim 1, wherein the at least one type of the exercise data shown on the display depends on the location of the moving pointer on the travelled route.

13. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise acquiring a physiological training effect of the exercise on the exerciser on the basis of the exercise data and the location data, wherein the exercise presentation further comprises displaying a literal description of the physiological training effect on the display.

14. The training device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an indication that the exercise presentation is to be shared on the network;

transmitting the exercise presentation to a social media site on the network;

detecting that the transmitted exercise presentation is viewed; and

transmitting an indication to a device when the transmitted exercise presentation is viewed.

15. The training device of claim 1, wherein the
