Elisa has launched an international version of Traxmeet. Traxmeet is
a free Internet service for managing and sharing training information
and utilises GPS technology, Heart Rate Monitoring and Google Maps to
present exercise information. Several sports computers and GPS
loggers and GPX-data compatible devices are supported. For more
information, see: www.traxmeet.com.
When you've been running, biking, roller blading or simply walking,
and you've been using a GPS logger or GPS sports computer to record
your performance, why not load the information up to the Traxmeet
service using your computer? The service automatically updates your
training calendar and exercise summary and allows you to view more
than 10,000 public exercises, with the option of comparing your own
performance against them. You can also monitor your friends'
activities with automatic notices.
Use maps when exercising
Seeing your exercise route on Google Maps is a thrilling experience.
Use the map view to see roads or the satellite view / terrain view to
understand the topography. Replay your exercise session and also see
how your heart rate responds when you hit an incline. Understand at a
glance your average speed, distance, and elevation profile.
Personalised training calendar
When you download the training information from your sports computer
or GPS logger, the service automatically adds the exercise
information to your personalised training calendar. You can add
additional information to the exercise. Also manage indoor exercises
using by manually adding gym exercises or aerobics sessions etc. You
can create summaries by choosing the time frame and sports.
A community for sports- and fitness-minded people
Traxmeet is a community for sports- and fitness-minded people. You
can search for certain types of exercise (e.g. running) or certain
locations (e.g. Florence). You can make sure your friends receive
automatic update on the latest exercise. Compare your training
sessions to those of others and see how they train. There are over
10,000 public exercises to choose from.
