Fitness is a big industry in America.  Billions upon billions of dollars are spent each year helping people get into or stay in shape.  One small piece of this fitness industry is going toward GPS devices that are made specifically with fitness applications in mind.  Portable GPS fitness devices are becoming increasingly popular and more and more affordable.  They are also becoming much more powerful as the technology improves.

One way that this technology is improving is by making its way onto the cell phone.  This device is extremely portable and pretty much goes everywhere that a person goes.  So why not make use of the GPS already in these phones and turn them into to a fitness device in addition to being part of a phone?  That is exactly the idea behind all sorts of free and paid cell phone applications that are flooding the market these days.

Using GPS to help improve a fitness regimen is a great idea because portable GPS provides powerful information that regular trainers just cannot provide.
