PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide athletic performance monitoring systems and methods, many of which utilize, in some manner, global positioning satellite ("GPS") data, and to provide data and information to athletes and/or to equipment used by the athletes during an athletic event.SOLUTION: The systems and methods can provide route information to the athletes and/or their trainers, e.g., for pre-event planning, goal setting, and calibration purposes. The systems and methods can optionally provide real time information to the athlete while the event takes place, e.g., to assist in reaching the pre-set goals. Additionally, data and information collected by the systems and methods can assist in post-event analysis for the athletes and their trainers, e.g., to evaluate past performances and to assist in improving future performances. |
