Inline Skating Notebook

カシオからＧＰＳ内臓した走行距離・速度・ペースをリアルタイムで表示する世界最小・最軽量の腕時計が発売されます。なにしろ価格が54000円なので、出来れば心拍とか地図が表示されるなどの機能があっても良さそうな感じですが・・・６４ｇは軽い！。ただＧＰＳ測定機能を連続使用するとバッテリーがノーマルモードで約2時間、ローパワーモードで約4.3時間しか持ちません。

The CASIO PHYS GPR-100 GPS Speedometer Watch optimized for Running also suitable for Inline skating and walking. But there are no software for mapping, display only digital data.

CASIO GPR-100 TOKYO, August 21, 2006 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd., and its parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., has announced the release of the GPR-100 — a small, lightweight wrist-worn device that uses GPS (global positioning satellite) technology to display real-time data on distance, speed, and pace. The GPR-100, a new model in the CASIO SPORT® series, will be available at retail in October 2006.
Runners who break records in long-distance races are able to adjust their speed at just the right time while maintaining their own pace. Not surprisingly, more and more runners are relying on devices that measure run data like distance, speed and pace using GPS technology. The popularity of GPS devices inspired Casio to design the world's smallest and lightest GPS device (63.1 x 49.5 x 17.1 mm), at about 64g. The new GPR-100 also inherits the finest tradition in GPS devices — Casio introduced the world’s first wristwatch-type GPS back in 1999 and has since taken on the challenge of designing devices that use GPS technology. The GPR-100 is the result of Casio’s ongoing development efforts, boasting an ultracompact GPS receiving antenna (19mm in length), a compact, high-performance GPS module (12mm x 11mm), and embedded wafer level package (EWLP) technology.* The GPR-100 applies EWLP technology in both its integrated circuit (IC) for timekeeping and its power supply circuit.
With a completely natural feel on the wrist, the GPR-100 displays distance, speed, and pace data in real time on the run. Never before has so much great technology been packed into such a comfortable wrist-worn device. When used for long-distance training, the GPR-100 gives runners a sense of their current pace, an essential when it comes to setting new records. The device also reduces the monotony of training by enabling runners to enjoy different courses while still accurately measuring their distance. It also displays the difference between the runner’s preset time/distance goal and up-to-the-moment progress measured by GPS. This gives runners more complete control over their pace. In addition, data on up to 50 runs can be recorded, along with data on up to 100 laps per run, enabling runners and coaches to analyze performance after the training session. The device also displays the exact time anywhere in the world, thanks to its automatic time adjustment using satellite data.
