Good Run Guide Mobile

Applications for your Mobile Phone

Good Run Guide provides two applications that you can run on your mobile phone to give you access to information and core features from the main Good Run Guide site when away from your computer.

Good Run Guide Mobile is a mobile web app that provides access to information and core features from Good Run Guide on your mobile phone, including your Training Log, races and our complete database of hundreds of quality selected running routes and parks around the UK, along with a GPS assisted Route Viewer.

GPS Stopwatch is an independent web app that can be used with GPS enabled smartphones to time and measure you runs and cycle rides. Recordings can be uploaded directly to your Good Run Guide Training Log. We have a separate website that provides more information about this app at www.gpsstopwatch.com.

Both of these web apps are compatible with a wide range of phones and there is no need to download them from an App Store - just navigate to the following web pages using your phone's browser and add them to your phone's Home Screen. You can then run them in full screen mode as standalone applications.

Which mobile phones are compatible with Good Run Guide Mobile?

Good Run Guide Mobile is designed to be accessible from a wide range of phones. If your phone has a web browser, you should be able to access most features.

To use the location-enabled features you will need a phone browser that supports Web Location Services. All browsers are expected to support this in due course and it is already supported by Safari (iPhone 3.0+), Android Browser (Android 1.5+), BlackBerry Browser (BlackBerry Device Software 4.1+) and Firefox for Mobile (Nokia Maemo 5). To use the GPS Stopwatch your phone will also need to have a GPS capability. If the location features are not working, check that you have Location Services turned on in your phone's Settings.
