Adeo Fitness companion works with your mp3 player and talks to you

Jun 3, 2006 fitness, gps navigation, tracking

Here is a cool workout companion for people who likes to be outdoors. The 6 hour battery life is a little worrying for those looong hikes (say down the Grand Canyon), but it should still meet most of your needs.

Track and improve your performance
The ADEO Fitness Companion tracks your workout progress via GPS location. It then gives you periodic audible progress updates through your earphones. Based on GPS data and an internal clock, the device computes total distance traveled, peak, current, and average speeds, elevation, elapsed time, current time, calories burned, as well as several other progress variables.

Store routines and customize workouts
The ADEO Fitness Companion stores three different Update Routines in memory. The tracking settings in each Update Routine can be customized to suit a particular type of workout. This feature is particularly helpful if your workouts vary between biking, running, walking, or jogging, etc.

You can program each of the three Update Routines to provide you with different progress variables. You can also program the unit to play the verbal updates at intervals based on time or distance.

The ADEO Fitness Companion stores your workout data in internal memory. After you complete your workout, simply download that data to your computer. The MotionTrak software uses this downloaded information to graph your performance and track your improvement over time.
