Nike+ for the iPhone 3G Will Support Google Maps, Leaked

Nike+ iPhone 3G Interface

The French-language iPhone rumor blog has published leaked shots of Nike+ for the iPhone 3G application. The Nike+ is a popular device which measures and records the distance and pace of a walk or run. For example, the Nike+iPod system consists of a small accelerometer attached to a shoe, which communicates with the Nike+ Sportband and/or a receiver plugged into an iPod nano.
If using the iPod, iTunes software can be used to view the walk or run history. Similar functionality is currently in development for the iPhone 3G.
In addition to tracking personal workout statistics, the Nike+ integrates directly with the Nike website. Workout data can be automatically uploaded to the website during an iPod sync with iTunes or through another program via the website’s public API. The iPhon.fr screenshots of Nike+ iPhone 3G app show fitness performance graphs right on the phone. Another feature improvement includes Google Maps support, which could be used to map training routes and calculate distance and other data.
