SpeedCoach Mobile Documentation
Working with exported data
SpeedCoach Mobile exports data in the following formats:
- TCX – developed by Garmin, this format holds the most detailed information about your performance, including speed, stroke rate, location, and heart rate. This format can be imported by web sites such as TrainingPeaks.com, and desktop applications like SportTracks (PC), TrailRunner (Mac), and Garmin Training Center (PC & Mac).
- KML – used by Google Maps, Google Earth, and other applications. This format is not designed for recording athletic data, but its flexibility allows us to put summary information on the map in a nice format.
- GPX – used mostly for storing hiking & running routes. Better support for performance data than KML, but not as good as TCX.
Detailed information for each interval can also be exported as CSV (comma-separated values) for use with a wide variety of spreadsheet applications. Many customers prefer to create their own charts straight from this raw data.
Creating custom courses
Custom courses (available in version 2.1) allow you to mark the start & finish lines of your favorite workouts or races and then have the SpeedCoach Mobile start its timer automatically when you cross the starting line and stop when you reach the finish. To create a custom course, you use Google Earth to mark the start & finish lines. Then, using iTunes, the course information is transferred to your iPhone where it appears in your workout list when you run SpeedCoach Mobile.
