from a variety of cellular carriers on GPS-enabled phones, is the ultimate
fitness application for anyone who wants to start or improve their workout
routine.

AllSport GPS, a Trimble Outdoors(TM) application, allows users to track and
record their results right on their mobile phone from a variety of outdoor
activities, including walking, running, hiking, cycling, mountain biking and
snowboarding. The application also has a Web component on the Trimble Outdoors

workouts, share information with friends by email and through Faceboook,
customize workouts shared by others, and send these workouts to their Android
phone.

"AllSport GPS is a great application for the Android platform as its users are
all about having everything right at their fingertips, from music to games to
photos. Now they won't need a separate device as a fitness tracker," said Rich
Rudow, managing director of Trimble Outdoors. "Whether you're starting an
exercise routine for the first time or training to run a marathon, AllSport
GPS is an easy yet sophisticated aide to help reach those goals."

AllSport GPS is now available for download on Android devices through the
