Example, you go for a run, via GPS you hit start time begins, gps begins and calorie count is based off of miles ran. Kinda like the Endomondo app. Anyone Title Comments Trying to figure out how i would make a plugin that will give the jogger a timer, distance and calorie count all on one page and they gives you a total at the end when user hits done.

ATRAIN53 Code is Art Posts: 1755 Reg: Nov 17, 2011 Chicago 26,450	09/04/12 08:45 AM (13 years ago) sounds like a lot of custom coding there. NSTimer will probably be used and you're going to need some type of GPS tracking and a back-end db to keep the start/end points. maybe have that back-end calculate the distance and spit the results back to the app? Mark posted a great tutorial on posting a device location to a db. That would be a good exercise to try and could be modded to fit this. That tutorial is awesome on a lot of levels. Excellent stuff. Parse and Xtify have back ends that work with location you might explore as well... Comments sounds like a lot of custom coding there.
