Hi guys,
Before Topaz I had Sony Ericsson phone which have application called Tracker. This tool uses GPS info to calculate kcal loss etc.
This description from SE site will better explain:
Track your route
Hike, run, walk - your phone comes with Tracker, a sports application with GPS support. Your time and distance covered are available on your phone screen, together with energy expended. You can also compete with yourself - Tracker keeps track of your earlier results. So just choose your route and Tracker will be there to support you!
Is there anything like that just for WM? It will be very useful for me.
P.S.: I used search before posting with no luck
Did a bit of Google'ing, and there seems to be a few options...
Here is a couple that I found, on page one...

Thanks for introducing me to GPS Cycle Computer, i like it! On my Artemis I used Beeline GPS (not freeware) but I think that our Topaz deserves something more touchy..
Touchy? Look at this...
If you want something touchy, take a look at http://www.sportypal.com.

Wow, that's really nice...!
I love it already, and only had it installed for 5 minutes
Thanks for posting!
Nice! Thanks a lot for replies!
The http://www.sportypal.com/ looks very good.
I've used sportypal on a couple o different devices and platforms, it's a great piece o software and a cinch to use. Nice support from the website too, if you have any questions or issues. And it's free!
Sorry, but this the application for runnig

There is a 14 day trial. try it, you will agree
Greetings
I'm also satisfied from "SportyPal". It's my favorite GPS tracking app which tracks a mixture of sporting activities, I use it for cycling where it maps where you've been average and top speeds etc. - along with TomTom v7 that's all the apps I use on my phone for tracking and navigation.
Hi All,
I've done a search here and around google for this, iPhone have a great looking app for the football scores which is free by sky sports.
Is there a winmo version, or is it possible to do?
I'd even have a go at porting it if I knew what I needed to do etc.
If anyone could shed any light it would be most helpful
Cheers.
I am also interested in this. I know there is a sky app, but it is just a news feed not a live scores updater
it's not a program but you can try to add this quick link on internet tab:
iphone.livescore.com
better than nothing
I have had a look at the iphone livescores, I found it better using bbc's website. I just thought that sky sports app on iphone looks brilliant, and would love that on my lovely hd2 phone
New in the Android Market is an App called Tesco Locator. Shows your nearest stores by distance (By GPS, or search for other city), with opening hours, store facilities & maps and directions.
Please download, and let me know what you think. New features coming soon.
Just too good app. Don't know how I managed without it so far... Keep up the good work!
Cheers / Raj
Thanks Raj,
There will be a minor update this weekend, and hopefully some added functionality before the end of April. We're actively looking for ways to improve the app, so if there's anything you'd like to see, we're open to suggestions!
If people could add ratings on the market as well it would be much appreciated!
Change it to Supermarket Locator and add Asda, Sainsburys etc into the mix
Now that would be a nice app lol

agreed! =]
For some reason, I can no longer to my online shopping from my N1. I've tried it from a variety of different ROM's and even got others to try too... it would appear Tesco is blocking us? The page just wont load, although the exact same url loads fine on my PC.
So, make this app so it works in conjunction with their online delivery ordering and it would be a winner. Scan a products barcode and then press 'add to shopping list' would make this an awesome app.
I e-mailed all the major online grocery shops a month or so ago, no-one was interested in an Android app and it almost makes me angry. Everyone loves the iPhone, but give it a couple more months and Android will be the dominant online mobile device (right now it's actually almost even!)
**Double post**
Thanks for all of your feedback.
In response to the Supermarket Locator, this is something we are currently looking into as a possibility. It has always been on our agenda to open this project up to the other supermarkets, and hopefully we can make this happen in the not too distant future.
AndyCr15 - That's definitely something which is being actively pursued. We have a few ideas for future development of the Tesco specific app, and we are investigating the best way to get the information and functionality onto the Android platform. Product searching is a mammoth area, so I cant promise anything immediately, but it is happening!
There will be another release in the next couple of weeks, with a new feature or two, and some code fixes for efficiency, and hopefully we'll be able to release regular updates and new features.
Hi there,
is it possible to get the application outside the UK? I live in Germany and it doesn't show up on the market (Android 2.1/ Samsung Galaxy Spica/ Portal). I will be coming to the Uk shortly and I just wanted to give it a test.
Cheers, Patrick
Hi,
At the moment our Locator is only for UK stores, and as such we've limited it's availability to the UK. We didn't really envisage a need for it to be included in other markets!
The GPS based location finder wouldn't be very useful from abroad, but there is a text search field as well, so I'm sure it will be of some use. Will you have a data plan or WiFi access whilst in the UK, as this is necessary to obtain the store details and maps etc.
Could you send an email to [email protected], so that if we dont choose to open it up to other markets, I can at least give you the apk to install?
Whats the source of the gps data for this?
Only asking because I normally use google maps for this sort of thing, but their data is imprecise and can be quite a way off.
I was looking for a B&Q the other day and maps showed a cluster of three - none of which were located correctly, satelite view and streetview confirmed this.
If your data source is better than google's you could be onto a winner.
BTW I just checked my local tesco in gmaps and its about 400metres off, in the wrong road in somebodies back garden!
I would guess he's used Google's data. Do you really think he's been able to go round to thousands of Tesco's to check? I could be wrong of course
Hi guys, pjmurphy123 is away this weekend but I also developed the app with him.
I can confirm that the locations (latitude and longitude) of the stores are supplied by Tesco along with the actual address, postcode and phone number if available.
This should result in our app providing you with more accurate results than using google maps.
Hope this helps
[email protected]
Okay, cool I wonder where Google Maps get there location data from then?
Just to let any followers of this thread know, that we have released an update for this app over the weekend, allowing the scanning and storing of your Tesco Clubcard, which can then be scanned by till operatives direct from your phone.
I hope that this feature adds some value to the app for a few people. There are some other features which will hopefully be available to be released in the next week or so, so keep your eyes open for that.
If you do find the app useful, please can you add some ratings or feedback on the Android Market.
New version uploaded allowing shortcut to Clubcard to be placed on to Android home screen.
Thinking of adding in shopping list functionality next.
Interested in peoples thoughts/feature requests
I just published the demo for my first attempt at a decent Android game...it was developed on a G1, on which it's barely playable, but I'm really interested to know how/if it performs on other devices. If you're bored please take a look.
There is definitely a lot of room for improvement in the AI and general optimization, but I really want to make sure I get any stability issues cleared up before I go digging through that code again, I'm still open to criticism/suggestions, though!
If you are able to get it to crash, please give me as much detail as you can.
Niiice will download now
Edit Pretty good game actualy (oh and btw im first rating and comment :L )
Looks good, not bad ! Graphics could be improved here and there, but it's a good concept ! Looking forward to the finished game.
Thanks guys! Yeah I'm really not much of an artist, I don't consider them final, but I don't know that I'll be able to improve on them much either My big plans for the full version are a lot more maps, a few more special attacks, improved AI, and multiplayer if I'm able to get it sorted out.
Pretty good! Glad to see you developing a high quality game!
PS I sent you a little message.
Has potential, it hangs up my moto droid. Hard to negotiate between screesn.
So how do i get this game on my Hero? Just take a picture of that barcode picture and then what?

Does it hang during gameplay itself or during the map loading screen? I'm halfway through a complete re-write of the AI that I hope will improve the framerate (right now the pathfinding alone takes something like 60% of the G1's CPU)

If you have the barcode scanner or goggles app you can scan that image which translates to a market link, or just search for Pirate Skirmish on the market
Awesome Concept!
Works flawlessly on my EVO. I do agree that the graphics could use a little sprucin' but overall the concept is what sets it apart. And multiplayer would make me like the happiest person alive!
Great game, keep up the amazing work!
Works nicely on my Galaxy S, no issues/bugs, a few comments
- green highlighting around which ship you've currently selected is too hard to see
- perhaps require a double-tap to change ship
- maybe slow down gamespeed a little, it's a bit hard to micro.
You could use an exit method, at least back doesn't work on my SGS. Also, a write up, at least something brief on how things work would be lovely, at least if you don't want to turn-off the average Android person who stumbles upon your game.
I just installed the game on my an Evo and it works.
Suggestions:
- Instructions on how to play, move, goals.
- The two player mode was hard navigate. Attempting to select the second player brought the first player to the second players location. Confirming movement when over a second player would be a plus.
- Background sound, maybe waves, music, ocean sound.
- Instead of pumping up the graphics, keep it simple, but decorate the maps.
- Add a story plot at the intro.
Well thats my opinion, love the work, I hope we'll see more. Thanks for sharing.
Great feedback guys, thanks! I've whipped up a How-to guide and posted it on the site (I can't post links yet I guess, but you can get to it from the market)
alovell83, the back button issue should be fixed in 1.3, can you confirm if you're still having issues after upgrading? (Actually introduced a new bug in the process, now it's a little too eager to quit when the back button is hit)
I think it's time I get to work on a settings menu, since everyone is going to have a different preference, so far I'm thinking adjustable HUD/icon sizes, ship selection method (tap, double tap, long press), and game speed. Any other suggestions?
I'm also planning to add a few new special items in the near future. I've got a couple ideas, but if anyone has suggestions for this, now's the time!
Back to the graphics, the castle graphic is probably the best example of what I'm ultimately aiming for, clean and simple...but throwing in some terrain decorations is a good idea, and I'm sure it will help a lot towards bringing the maps to life.
kinda reminds me of a long abandoned game i used to play called world of pirates online
this game has a lot of potential!
Bout to check it out. Market lagging for some reason
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
just downloaded the game. it's pretty good game, just need a li'l work here and there. especially the animation. and one other thing. you should put hot to play. it took me a while to figure how to play.
Well it works good so far on the hero. And I have seen apps way worse that you have to pay for. So by the time your done I'm sure it will be great.

Any way you could provide an APK? I don't know what's going on with my phone but the Market keeps crashing every time I try to DL Pirate Skirmish... not other apps, just that one. Weird.
Sure thing, here is the .apk for version 1.3.2 just published including the How to Play link from the main menu, thanks again everyone.
Since 1.3.1 I haven't seen any crashes in the dev console, but as far as I know these only show up for 2.2 devices. So again, if anyone is getting a repeatable crash, please send me the logcat output and a quick description of how you caused it. If you don't have adb installed on your computer there is another great app called Catlog in the market that will let you save and send logs from your phone.
Awesome, thanks! I'll report back after trying it out a bit.
Update: I got a "This application closed unexpectedly" within a minute or so... I was trying to attack a castle and I was tapping it over and over. I am on 2.2 using a Desire ROM by mattc on an HD2. HD2 normally doesn't have any issues that standard Android devices don't have, but who knows depending on how the app works... I don't have ADB, but I'll go get Catalog and send logs if I can figure it out.
Hi everyone,
Just released my first game on the Android Market, and wanted to know what people think! Most of the testing was done on an HTC Hero, so it would be good to hear from people running different hardware. There's a market link below and more details on my website (bluxu.com). Enjoy!
Description: SteepleChase is a race against the clock which tests your navigation skills to the limit! In this fun and frantic game you must find your way around a randomised course armed with only the most basic tools. Compete with your friends to obtain the highest score on a course of any length you want - from a wander round your neighbourhood to a road trip across America!
(Oh and here's an apk as well in case you want to install it yourself!)
** Version 1.0.1 now available (fixing most of the problems people have mentioned in this thread)! Updated apk file available below! **
I loaded it. Will try it out
On rooted Desire.
Interesting idea!
Thanks Berliner42. What did you think of it? Does it all work okay? Anyone else have any feedback - I'd be delighted to hear what you think!
Hi, i tried the app, seems interesting. I noticed, that the app doesnt close the gps after exiting. I had to kill the app app with the taskmanager.
Interesting!
Just a bug: When GPS is closed from PowerWidget, app just freezes (Froyo Rooted).
Edit: Only at first run. I cant press "Accept". After first run its okay, it asks for it

There is turn GPS of after exit, in the options.
Amazing idea There are so many people with crazy ideas, I like that xD
Will try it out tonight when I get home (I don't have USB rights on the work's PC :/)
Edit : I'm stupid, I didn't see the QR xD I'm downloading now
Edit 2 : If you don't activate the GPS on launch, then the app will freeze.
And I thought it would impose me a destination xD But choosing one is cool too
Hi, I like this idea, and downloaded it from the market.
I have HTC desire and whenthe game starts the screen for the map is quite small (screenshot attached), and have to zoom out to see the waypoints and finish.. when zoomed out it it as again too small and hard to read...
I'm mainly wanting this for multiplayer, so am waiting anyway..just letting you know, if this is isn't supposed to be like it..
Thanks, Matt
Edit, can't upload pics from phone, will do it soon..
Thanks everyone for your feedback! I should be able to do a release to fix bugs at the weekend.
@barisahmet/khoral: thanks for your comments, i'll look into why it crashes on start-up if gps isn't enabled and fix it before the weekend
@khoral: i'll implement an option where it chooses a destination for you in a future release - thanks for the idea!
@mattmanwrx: it would be great to see a screenshot if you can get me one. i'll change the starting zoom level so the map doesn't start too zoomed in. The multiplayer version should be released around the end of January as an update on Android market (I'll post on here to remind people as well!)
I forgot to post them... email reminded me!
Attached!
Thanks
Second picture is the first snapshot (not zoomed at all, just as the game starts) seond snapshot is zoomed out (cant see the waypoints or the end).
Thanks for the screenshots - I'll look into why the map is so small on your device (it ought to fit most of the screen). Hopefully I'll release a fix at the weekend.
No problems... if it helps the screen is 480x800 resolution....
sent from my DeFroSTed HTC Desire
OG Droid: Bugless 0.6.1
Runs great, Haven't taken it out for a spin yet might do that tonight with friends. Few things you might add orientation so you can have it in landscape. Slide open and closed keyboard and that didn't cause any problems at all. Also some ideas, it being a game you may give it different difficulties like Easy: Option to view map open at no cost and a Hard: Option to view map comes at cost of points. Just a idea to add some options to it. Also Multiplayer I have some ideas if you would like to hear them just shoot me a pm. I really like this app and sure beats playing the penny game in my car when me and friends are bored.
Also might add disclaimer that you are not responsible for anything that happens during the course of the app like people speeding, running stop lights/signs, getting into wrecks. I think that most people are smart enough to know that they must obey the laws while using this. Just a thought for the 1% of people out their who try and always pin it on someone else
Thanks for the extra info mattmanwrx that should help me sort things out. And thanks for your feedback bmxmike, I'll definitely put those ideas into a future release.
Keep the feedback coming everyone! Cheers!
Update
Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that we should have an online scoreboard system set up in the next release, which will be with you soon! In the meantime do let me know your thoughts and comments on the game, or leave me a review on the Market! Thanks for your support!
