After a very good 2007, full of work, play, and growth for GPS Insight, I needed to make 2 new resolutions for 2008.
- Get back in shape
- Do more online demos & video documentation of GPS Insight
So, today I hit the gym again for the 5th time in the last couple weeks, a Lifetime Fitness not too far from our office & my home in Scottsdale (it’s brand new, so it still shows up in Google Earth as a bare dirt lot, but I know where it is).
I decided to do a quick demo and see how quickly I could get a video into the blog here. Here I show my day, drill down on my stop at Lifetime Fitness. Then I create a quick Polygon Geofence around the dirt which is now Lifetime Fitness after searching Google to make sure I have the right place (I do). I play around with the Polygon to show you they can be made in any shape, not just this boring square one. Then I run a quick Polygon Geofence alert on the “Rob Group” which is both cars I drive personally, and we see I’ve been to the gym 5 times since starting on my heath kick in late December. Then I can take the data into Excel and quickly see how many hours I’ve spent at the gym since starting, and the average number of days between visits there.
All of this takes less than 5 minutes using GPS Insight, since we put the right tools and data into your hands for answering ad-hoc questions such as these.
We’ll see if I can keep it up in 2008!
Here’s the video:
Thanks,
Rob.
