Don't worry too much about 'known issues' - the very fact that a developer acknowledges these shows that they're on the ball and that a fix is being worked on. It's good to see fixes to do with 'application tombstoning', i.e. maintaining tracking even when the use of other applications forces Sports Tracker from RAM and the fast-resume system. It's not rocket science, after all, every position is time and position tagged, so enough is now written to file in real time that tracking can be faithfully resumed.
Anyway, not a full review, but here's the new version of Sports Tracker in action, out and about:
Of particular note is that I deliberately ran a dozen apps 'on top' of Sports Tracker when I turned left (see above) heading up to Lunds Farm Road, and then didn't bring Sports Tracker up on screen again until the point shown. Somehow enough is left running to carry on GPS tracking, though I suspect a tougher test would be to leave Sports Tracker 'off' for more than half an hour and then try returning to the tracking. Comments welcome if you've done this!
Terrific stuff, and it's all free, here in the Windows Phone Store. Of note is that there are actually two entries for the application in the Store, caused by a hiccup late last year. As fas as we know, the two are now identical - clarifications welcome if there's something we don't know!
PS. If you're wondering why Sports Tracker is free, it's because the monetisation is through sales of the company's Heart Rate Monitor belts. I reviewed an early version of this back in 2010 over on our sister site, All About Symbian.
PPS. In case you haven't seen it and/or are new to Sports Tracker, here's the team's intro video:
