I like the idea of keeping track of my sporty activities.

Why should someone deactivate the gps in any other destination as power saving? The Chip is passive..

@jgo, I believe that if you put the iPhone in “Airplane mode,” all of its radios are turned off, including the GPS chip.

What’s missing is a way to turn off that GPS chip, or a Faraday cage in which to secure it.

Isn’t it nice to see Development groups outside of Silicon Valley? Our company, DoApp, Inc. also got some recognition simply because we created myLite Flashlight, Strobe and Concert Lighter out of Minneapolis Mn.

One more to add (live in the App Store as of 1:30am this morning):

RunKeeper (Boston, MA). Category: Healthcare & Fitness. This application uses the built-in GPS in the new 3G iPhones to enable runners (and hikers, walkers, cyclists, etc.) to track all of their daily runs, including duration, distance, speed, pace, and the corresponding route on a map. $9.99.
