Earlier this year I mentioned an open source app personal movement tracking app in development called Theseus inspired by Google’s Latitude app.
Here’s a nice step-by-step tutorial on how to create a movement tracking app inspired by the popular Runkeeper app from Matt Luedke.
The topics within the tutorial include:
– Setting up a Core Data database for location and run data
– Setting up the interface in map views
– Tracking the location using Core location
– Drawing on the map in real-time to show where the user has been
– Saving the data for later
– Using the simulator test your app
– Setting up a badge system for tracking progress
– Setting up custom map annotations
This screenshot from the tutorial shows off the end result:
You can find the tutorial in two parts on the Ray Wenderlich blog: Part 1, Part 2.
A nice guide for anyone looking to create a movement tracking app.
