But before the activity reaches your Inbox, MotionBased quickly analyzes the GPS data with complex algorithms to hide extraneous or bad GPS track points.

MotionBased will display the following information for each activity:

• Location (City, County, State, Country)
• Distance
• Duration
• Day of Week
• Start Time
• Finish Time
• Time Zone
• Route Breadcrumb (image)

After reviewing this information, you have the option to submit or delete this activity from Inbox. If you choose to save your activity, you must personalize and categorize each activity submitted to MotionBased with the following information:

• Name
• Activity Type
• Event Type
• Comments
• Private

You may sort through listings by clicking on any of the following column headers:

• Activity Name
• Date
• Activity Type
• Location
• Event
• Time
• Distance
• Elevation Gain
• Elevation Loss
• Speed
• Pace

You may further refine your listings using the Quick Filter, which includes the following criteria:

• Time Period
• Activity Type
• Event Type
• Location

Even more powerful is the Advanced Filter, which allows custom filters and keyword searches for the following criteria: Paid Feature

• Username (TrailNetwork)
• Location Name
• Activity Name
• Comments

Within the Digest, you can check out your progress over time through the Reports section. View cumulative statistics in rows similar to a spreadsheet program. Here are a few of the types of reports available for grouping cumulative statistics:

• Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly
• Activity Type
• Event Type
• Time of Day
• Day of Week
• Username (Compare all in the TrailNetwork)

For each report you may select the Column Chart corresponding to the measurement in the report to help you visually understand your effort in Time, Distance, Elevation Gain.

After browsing and/or filtering through your activities, you may select an activity for analysis.

In addition to presenting high-level workout data, the Dashboard is broken down into the following sections for detailed analysis:

• Time
• Distance
• Speed
• Elevation
• Heart Rate
• Laps
• Weather
• Equipment

Each Dashboard section provides statistics in table and chart format.

Based on the location and time of the activity, MotionBased displays the following weather metrics:

• Predominant Weather Type
• Predominant Wind Direction
• Precipitation Type
• Precipitation Amount
• Temperature (Avg., High, Low)
• Relative Humidity (Avg., High, Low)
• Wind Speed (Avg., High, Low)
• Wind Gust
• Cloud Cover
• Ceiling Height

MotionBased appends weather data to your activity from the nearest weather station from where your activity commenced.

Distance Splits - Breaks out activity into 1-mile splits (< 50 miles) and 5-mile splits (> 50 miles) using the following components:

• Table - lists each individual split as a row in a table.
• Map - displays the activity route as a line with alternating colors on top of a map background. The alternating colors of the line represent a the alternating split distances.
• Elevation Profile - displays the elevation profile of the activity route with alternating colors representing the alternating split distances.
• Configuration - allows you to choose a different map background (Street, Photo, Topo, Elevation) and to toggle the Auto-Refresh feature.

MotionBased highlights segments of the route whenever the you hover over a split segment in the Map, Elevation Profile, or Table components. For instance, if the you hovers over Split #4, MotionBased will highlight that segment in the Map and Elevation Profile segments. In addition, if the you hover over a split segment on the Map or Elevation Profile, MotionBased will highlight the split segment in the Table component. There is direct correlation between all three components.

You may also Zoom In/Out for each split segment. If you Zoom In for a specific distance split, the Map Background will refresh to higher resolution map. You may also choose to Zoom In/Out from the Map, Elevation Profile, and Table components by clicking on a specific row in the Table or the line in the Map and Elevation Profile components.

• Participant (Dot) - represents the actual location of the participant along the route.
• Start - represents the starting point of the activity.
• Finish - represents the finishing point of the activity.
• Stops - represents points along the route where the participant stopped moving for more than 15 seconds.
• Distance Marker - represents direction of travel along the route at each 1-mile segment (< 50 miles) or 5-mile segment (> 50 miles) along the route.

• Street - presents worldwide street data. The service includes detailed street data along with administrative boundaries, landmarks, water features, and more.
• Photo - presents a variety of imagery data taken from a plane or satellite
• Topo - presents topographic data from the US and New Zealand
• Contour - presents contour data for the region. This is used when Topo data is not available.
• Elevation - presents shaded relief imagery derived from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) using a hill-shade technique along with reference data from ESRI.
• Blank - presents no image background.

The default background is the Street map which you may change at anytime using the drop-down menu in Control Panel.

• Participant (Dot) - represents the actual location of the participant along the route.
• Stops - represents points along the route where the participant stopped moving for more than 30 seconds.

You can make the Elevation Profile window larger by clicking the "+" icon in the title bar. You can restore the original size by clicking in the "-"icon in the title bar. You can also drag the Elevation Profile window to any place on the screen by clicking and holding the Title bar while dragging to the desired location.

• Split _ A split icon will display the following contextual information: Split Number, Duration, Avg. Speed, Time, and Grade.
• Stop _ A stop icon will display the following contextual information: Distance, Duration, Time, and Elevation.
• Participant _ The dot will display the first and last name of the Participant, and the distance of the current position from the start.
• Start/Finish _ The start and finish icons display the following contextual information: Start Time, Finish Time, Duration, and Distance.

The Player Control functions control the Participant (Dot) layer within the Map Player and Elevation Profile. Based on the Player controls selected by the User, the Participant (Dot) indicator moves along the route simulating the workout:

• Play - moves Dot continuously forward along the linear track points.
• Pause - stops the Dot on the track point.
• Reverse - moves Dot back one track point.
• Fast Forward - moves Dot forward one track point.
• Speed - controls the simulation speed of the player. The default speed factor is 6x actual speed. You may change this factor by adjusting Speed control.
• Background - choose from Street, Photo, Topo, Elevation, and Blank Map Backgrounds.
• Layers -Toggle what layers associated to the activity will appear on the Route.

As you moves the Participant (Dot) using the Map Player controls, MotionBased displays the following data for each track point:

• Time of Day
• Time Elapsed
• Distance
• Speed
• Altitude
• Grade
• Heart Rate

You can race multiple instances of the same route to see how you're improving or to race other members of MotionBased. You may start "virtually racing" someone you don't even know.

You may choose up to 10 activities to race at one time. In addition, you may change the simulation speed of the race. At this time, you may only use the default city/street map for the Dot Racing.

All activities stored in the Database will be made available for public access through the TrailNetwork unless you manually chooses to hide an activity.

Through a simple browse and search interface, you may search through the TrailNetwork to find routes that match their activity criteria. Activities are displayed in a similar format to the Digest.

After browsing and/or filtering through the TrailNetwork listings, you may select an activity for analysis.
