From where did you get it? Can not find it anywhere?
Would be great to hear that the development of this tool is ongoing...

There is a new application in the ovi store. This seems to be the new version (3.02?) developed by the spin off company (http://www.sportstrackingtechnologies.com/).

If I select my N78 in the store, the app is hidden, so it does not seem to be compatible with the N78... Hope this follows...

However, it's good news that the development is ongoing!

Maybe the Beta Labs guys ;-) could persuade Jussi and the rest of the guys at Sports Tracking Technologies to bring the new version to Beta Labs as a 3rd Party App. ;-)

I got my copy from the Ovi Store.

Just one other important point before you install it. It doesn't appear to communicate with http://sportstracker.nokia.com - so you can't share your workouts with it, yet.

When you try to upload you get a message saying that it will eventually upload to a new website, which they're working on, but that it's not ready yet.

I think Jussi and his team have done a great job. The app looks really slick on the N97 and the maps are much easier to read while I'm on the bike.

But the thing I like most about the app is being able to share my workouts, so I can't use this particular version every day until the new web service is up and running.

One other nifty feature - you can upload photos from the new version straight into Flickr or Ovi.

Some technical info that I learned the hard way.
1. If you export the GPX of the ride from version 3.02, you CAN'T import that into the existing (old) web site. It appears to upload, but you get no map - just the basic parameters of the ride.
2. If you try to copy the DAT file of the ride from a phone with version 3.02 to a phone with version 2 of NST, it crashes the app, so don't try it.

Sports Tracker v3.02 is NOT Nokia Sports Tracker and is the new version developed by Sports Tracking Technologies (the original developers of Nokia Sports Tracker). It does not therefor integrate with the Nokia Sports Tracker website, but will have it's own website when they have completed it.

The Nokia Beta Labs forums are not the correct place to discuss this application as it is no longer owned by Nokia, but if a deal can be done to add Sports Tracker to Beta Labs as a Third Party App then discussion can be continued here.

The new versions looks fantastic however I can't seem to find out anywhere when we'll be able to upload the data to the new website.

@vannylu: When you try to updoad in v3.02, which is no longer provided by Nokia, but a third party company Sports Tracking Technologies, you are advised that the new site is in development. This is why you can't upload yet. When they open the new site you will then be able to upload.

In the meantime, you can export to a number of formats which you can then import into PC based logging apps or onto websites like Nokia Sports Tracking or Google Maps for example.

Thanks mbrett, I just wondered if anyone has any knowledge about how long it might be till we see the new website? I can live without uploading for say a couple of weeks but if its going to take much longer then it seems best to stick with the old version for now.

No one within Nokia should be able to advise on the time to the release of the new Sports Tracking website as it is no longer a Nokia product.

Sports Tracking Technology do have their own e-mail address, which can be found at http://www.sportstrackingtechnologies.com . I can't guarantee the speed of their response to any emails as they are very busy.

@mbrett, if I have an xml or dat file from my NST stored on my PC, how can I upload it to the Nokia ST website to share it? BTW - I was asking this in another thread but didn't get any responses.

On the http://sportstracker.nokia.com website you can select to add a workout, but the Nokia Sports Tracker website will close at the end of June. The new non Nokia http://www.sports-tracker.com website it taking pre-registration and will import your old workouts from the Nokia Sports Tracker website.

BTW mbrett - can the current NST I am using on N73 still upload to the new Sports Tracker Website?
FYI - I let you know already now that my new User Name at the new Sport-Tracker Website is "eRun".

@eNo73: Sorry you can't upload to the new website yet. It's comming soon. You can upload to Facebook and many other locations or download Sport Tracks to your PC and use that in the interim. You can import the exported files from your phone.

Is there anybody who can confirm or explain ?
