It is to be understood that other specific arrangements of parts, example devices, systems, and environments may be utilized, different analyses and displays may be generated, and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
the global positioning satellite data may be used to calibrate athletic performance monitoring devices such as: speedometers, pedometers, altimeters, odometers, barometric pressure sen sors, compass or direction sensors, and the like.
Additionally and/or alternatively, the stored data may be uploaded to a website either during the athletic performance and/or at a later time, e.g., using cell phone technology, wired or wireless computer network connections, satellite transmissions, or other means.
A GPS system, on the other hand, provides speed, distance, altitude, and absolute position information, but as described above, it occasionally suffers outages due to loss of satellite signal, it consumes substantial battery power, and the like.
As another example, if proximity to the end of a route or race is determined ( e.g., using GPS, odometer, or pedometer information), an up-tempo song and/or video clip may be provided to cue the athlete to strive for a finish strong.
