- route that you traveled
This app even allows you to listen to music while you are exercising Furthermore, it allows you to pre-program your own exercise goals (e.g. pace) and it will keep track of exactly where you are while you are busy with any exercise routine. It will update you via audio cues on how you are doing according to the goal that you entered.
