What this app does is track your location while you do any sort of activity (walk, run, cycle) and compile statistics which get uploaded to the runkeeper website. I tried it out for the first time today on my walk with Lilo. Here's what you see when you go to the website:
Pretty cool. The blue line on the bottom tracks the speed and the green line is elevation. And that is the exact route we took. It may be silly, but I am much more motivated to exercise when I can come home and look at my stats.
Apparently a 2.44 mile walk makes Lilo tired:

Do you have to keep the iPhone out in the open while you're on your walk? I have had a very hard time keeping a GPS signal with mine in my pocket.
I had it in the chest pocket of my jacket. It said you needed a clear line to the sky, so I kept taking it out to make sure it still had a signal. The signal strength was "fair" when I took it out of my pocket and switched to "good" after being out for a few seconds. I wasn't sure it would work, but it seems like it did. I guess a fair signal is good enough.
Maybe it needs to be stronger if you're doing something faster, like cycling?
