If your goal is to run 3.0 miles it will push you to run 3.5 miles.
If you happen to find yourself lost on your run. Don’t worry the application’s GPS has a map that tracks exactly where you started and where you have run to. To give you that extra motivational boost when you are nearing the end of your run, customize your “PowerSong” and activate it when needed.
In customer ratings Nike+GPS receives 4 stars. It is definitely worth $1.99 as opposed to the old Nike+iPod sport kit that could be purchased for $30.
