Run 'n' Graph makes a course diagram, speed histogram and speed trend graph while you run. It can also speak speed changes and periodically speak mileage to keep you on pace. Simply touch the start recording button and start running, jogging and walking. The visuals are designed to show a good history of your run while instantaneous output gives current run information. There are also ways to view and export the numeric data of your run should you have the desire to dig deeper. If you see a good speed trend or other visual then touch-hold to save it or send it to others. Run 'n' Graph has been used in many situations. For example, a five mile residential run decreased battery charge by only 1% when operated in background. When in foreground the battery decreased by 12% during the same run. Due to the signal filters Run 'n' Graph tests well while running under and near trees, on forest roads and in neighborhoods. Run 'n' Graph has been designed to perform well from a walk or casual run to a marathon and from residential to rural and forest runs. Its visuals and options are designed to provide meaningful results to help you make informed decisions, to validate your run and to share your data and running measurements with others. FEATURES • Tap a button to start recording position and speed. • Makes a course diagram, speed histogram and speed trend graph in real time. • Shows current pace, distance and stopwatch time. • Speaks speed changes when that option is set. • Periodically speaks distance and speed when that option is set. • Speaks in background and foreground. • Records location and rate data in either background and foreground. • Locks touches during recording to help eliminate unwanted changes. • Uses about 1% of the battery per five miles in background mode. • Uses about 10% of the battery per five miles in foreground mode. • Filters GPS data to give more accurate information. • Does not require pace training. • Speaking mixes with music and other audio in either foreground or background. • Touch a graph to email, store it or export to the powerful Graph IDE application. • Use the table interface to copy the underlying data. • Does not require or use a website. The data is stored, and visuals are made, on your own phone. • Settings for metric or English units. • Use indoors, during rain, thick cloud cover and other conditions that can obstruct the GPS signal may be problematic. • During actual use the instantaneous speed (pace) may vary by about a mile per hour from the actual instantaneous speed. This variation is an inherent limitation of the GPS sensor and the filter tries to minimize that variation. However, the speed trend graph and speed average has given meaningful results during actual use. • Designed and tested by runners and walkers. NOTE: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

WalkRecord Plus Functional Description You can record and save (route, distance, time) of movement such as walking and jogging in one day units, and play back later. The full text of Functional Description is here. ( http://ysnbisgk.life.coocan.jp/walkinglocusplus.html ) *** please note *** This app works on iOS 11.0 and above. When you start up for the first time, please enable "Use location service". If you do not allow it, the application will end. Also, turn on "Motion and Fitness" for the pedometer. In the case of WalkRecord Plus, please turn on this app in iCloud of the device to save the data in iCloud. ● App description It is an application that displays the movement track using GPS. The route you walked and moved is recorded with a pin, and it moves at set distance intervals. The time and distance traveled from the recording start point at each point, latitude , longitude and altitude are displayed at the top of the screen. There is also a pedometer function that records the number of steps taken and distance and displays them on the screen. When you click on any pin, the time when the point passes and the distance from the recording start point will be displayed as pin information. The distance between movement points shows the straight line distance between GPS points, and the movement distance within the set interval is not counted. if GPS cannot be detected, you may not be able to update the pin, but since distance measurement is automatically restarted from the point where GPS is caught again. ● Function and operation(extract) The main button functions and operations are as follows. ・ Record / Stop button Click the [Record / Stop] button to start the location information service (recording), and click it again to stop the location information service. ・ [Setting] button ① Setting the map type You can switch between standard map and satellite map. ② Address display setting If you tap any point on the map with the address display ON, the zip code and address of that point will be displayed. ③ Pin color setting You can choose the pin color (default: red) from 10 colors as needed. ④Pin recording interval setting Display pins at distance intervals of 50m, 100m, 200m, 500m It is also possible to record the pin recording interval by time, 30 seconds, or 1 minute. ⑤ Automatic recording stop setting After starting recording, you can set and record 1H and 2H time to prevent forgetting to press the recording stop button. This will automatically stop recording after the set time to prevent battery drain ⑥ Speed limit setting If you set a maximum speed (km / h) when moving and exceed this speed limit, you will be notified with a chime. ・ [Reset/Clear] button Clear the distance meter to your current position to zero The recording time from the recording start point can also be cleared to zero. You can clear the pedometer data (step count and walking distance) to zero. ・ [Playback / delete] button You can play the recorded data and delete the recorded data by date by selecting the date. If you select "all" at the top and select "Delete", all the saved data will be deleted. Select "Location list" to display a list of registered sites that have been registered so far. ・[Record shaped] button Lists the number of days and pins saved on the title and the date saved in iCloud. ・ Save to iCloud: Upload and save all the data in the app to iCloud ・ Restore from iCloud: Download all data in iCloud and restore in the app This allows you to share data between iOS devices via iCloud and take over the data when you change devices ・ Pin distance measurement Select any two pins to see the distance between them ・ Label at the top of the screen Displays the latitude, longitude and altitude of the current position (pin position) Displays the distance and time from the recording start point to the current location The total distance traveled on the day, the number of steps taken, and the walking distance are displayed.
