\"Moves<\/a>Last saturday Sally<\/a> and I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks walk<\/a>. A great walk it was too, especially tagging along behind two members of the LDWA<\/a> who specialise in 100mile non stop walks. So we moved had a brisker pace and had fewer shorter stops than we are accustomed to with The Cambridge Rambling Clu<\/a>b \ud83d\ude42 The weather was very low cloud with 12″ or so of freshish snow on all three peaks.<\/p>\n

The gadgets I was carrying where an iPhone5 with the Moves app<\/a><\/em> running & the route in the Viewranger app<\/a><\/em> (although not tracking). I also had the route stored in my Garmin etrex 20 which was also storing our track as we walked it. Finally I was wearing my trusty Fitbit Ultra.<\/p>\n

I’m pleased to say they all worked flawlessly and all their batteries stayed live for the 11 or so hours we were out. I was also carrying my Canon 550D with a 18-135mm lens.<\/p>\n

Moves<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a very nifty app that automatically works out if you are walking, cycling or just sat in a vehicle! It works by using the internal GPS (battery only lasts a few hours) and also the various internal motion sensors. At the end of the day it produces a summary and storyline (see left image<\/a>). For this walk (and to and froing \u00a0before & after) it gave a result of 58,499 steps, 25.7 miles in 10hours 29mins. You can also see the times we summited and the little stops we had.<\/p>\n

I now use this app everyday the biggest disadvantage (apart from battery life – which to me is OKish)is that you cannot easily create a database of activity.<\/p>\n

I kept the iPhone in an Aquapac case to stop water damage & also took a TeckNeti EP387 7000mAh external battery pack with cable. (Total weight 368gm)<\/p>\n

Fitbit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fitbit<\/p>\n

As anyone knows both Sally and I are\u00a0obsessed\u00a0with this amazing device.<\/p>\n

This gave a reading of 60,600 steps, 28.6 miles. 523 floors climbed (5230 feet in normal speak) and 5340 calories burned over about 12.5 hours . \u00a0So it agrees very closely to Moves.<\/p>\n

GPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using Ascent OSX app we get the profile and speed as:\"Screenshot_22_03_2013_14_47\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Screenshot_22_03_2013_14_45\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This worked out we had walked 24.8 miles in a moving time of 8hr 45min (average speed 2.8mph) with an ascent of 5,579 feet. So the other devices had a pretty good correlation. So the Fitbit really does work \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
