UMapper Map of the Week


UMapper Map of the Week

Once more, I want to thank Andrei and the guys over at UMapper for recognizing my Nokia contest entry for their Map of the Week. They gave me the same honor a few weeks ago for one of my routine Sports Tracker workouts.

UMapper can be used by anyone for logging and embedding custom maps just about anywhere. I started using their service to embed maps of each of my workouts when I began this blog, and I like that I can choose from many different map providers, each with multiple viewing options. I also like that I can add graphics, information and media to my maps and see those changes reflected anywhere I have embedded a particular map.

All UMapper features are quite user-friendly, especially for WordPress bloggers via UMapper’s available plug-in.

    Well done on winning the competition!

    How do you get the data from Nokia Sports Tracker into UMapper?

    Ah, I just figured it out:

    1. Download as KML from sportstracker.nokia.com (or could probably save from the phone)
    2. Create new map and import data
    3. (Optional) edit line to 100% red
