26point2GPS1.0.17 - App Store

26point2GPS for iPhone is used by the marathon runner to send their GPS location to the Internet during an event.

This is a 'send' location only program, in order to receive your position and show it on one of 60+ course maps your 'interested parties' will need to use 26point2 for iPhone and configure it to follow your UDID.

Please check your map is available at: http://www.26point2app.com/features/marathon-maps

before choosing this app.

The purpose of the location you send is for your spectators to be able to track you on the actual course map and compare the GPS position and time to the Smart Mile Markers (plan). If you are running an event not in the list of maps the spectator experience will not be as good.

If your map is not available sent a request to RequestAMap@26point2app.com

Please plan ahead, you should not wait for a race to use 26point2GPS the first time. This program is highly configurable, experiment with the different settings see what works best for you. Make sure the spectator(s) can find your location (before the race day) and know the start time and your target time for the best experience following you on the actual day of the race
