These past weeks, despite the bad weather in my area, I made a lot of bicycling tours and made comparisons between the following app: Meerun, Meetrainer, Track@way, Marble, Poluilla, GpsLogMee. The last two ones do tracks recording only.
The accuracy of MeeRun is very good, with MeeTrainer beeing just a little bit better. The difference is minimal. I did not change the filtering parameters in Meerun.
Power usage of MeeRun is still high, even with the last version. This is not convenient for long runs and is the only defect I found in this app.
In terms of features, I find that MeeRun is the best one and the UI is great

Hi there, just realized that there is no altitude information stored within the gpx-files. Would it be possible to add this feature? I think this information is provided by the gps receiver anyway, so it shouldn't be complicated to include this information in the gpx-files, right? Thanks in advance for your reply! PS: Is there any indication yet when the next update will be available?

Hi, I use this app together with the Nokia CP-531. It works great except for one thing. If it isn't really bright sunshine outside the N9 will go into lock screen and the Meerun lockscreen can't be shown. It seems like the Nokia CP-531 blocks out almost all sunlight. Is it possible to make the Meerun lock screen prevent the phone from entering the real lock screen? Would be very appreciated!
By the way, nice to see MeeRun being highlighted in the store. Attached an image

It is indeed easy to implement but the GPS altitude is actually very unreliable (the accuracy is very bad compared to the horizontal information). Adding the altitude information is planned, though, but I will have to add some more filtering or ignore the information for distance calculation and use it only for diagrams and data files. Another idea is to use SRTM data, which is very accurate, but is more complex (because it requires the download the data...).

As far as I know, MeeTrainer seems more accurate because it only keeps 1 signal every 5 seconds. It makes the track smoother but it also means that the precision is lower...

That' great
. I use version 1.1.2. Since you sent it to me by email, I don't have the one shown when searching ovi store. If I delete 1.1.2 from my phone, maybe I can download 1.1.4? I doubt because of the error message I get when trying to leave a review.

There might be a problem with the version I sent you by mail. You can try downloading the version of the app store (1.1.2 is fine, too).

MeeRun is much better Sports Tracker I found.
Battery eating is very light.
It would be very useful to add clock to program lockscreen.
And it would be nice if you can add some calories burning, weight control function.
Anyway thank you.

The power usage should also be much much lower with the latest version, maybe you are using an outdated release you found in internet or the wrong app
