Abstract

A system for automatic monitoring real-time athletic performance of a user is described. A portable unit (100) having a GPS receiver capable of providing GPS velocity data to a processor unit (122) includes a processor unit (122) coupled to a database(120) having information such as physical characteristics, weight, age, and gender, is able to provide a updated readout to a display unit (106) of the user's ongoing athletic performance statistics. Such statistics include elevation gain, current speed, current heading, current elevation, calories burned, anticipated calories burned (based upon a pre-selected course), and others. By using Doppler shift based GPS velocity measurements, the athletic performance monitor is able to provide an accurate accounting of a user's athletic performance in real time. In some cases, a virtual competition can be held whereby users at different locations and/or at different times can conduct a virtual competition using the athletic performance monitor coupled to a server computer.
