Rule the Road with Nike+ Route Boss

September 15, 2010

Introducing Nike+ Route Boss, a new Map It feature that lets you own your favorite routes.

Run a route the fastest or most frequently, and you’ll score the Route Boss title and a spot on the leaderboard. And whenever you win the crown—or lose it—your Facebook and Twitter statuses get updated for everyone to see.

Show your city who’s boss in four simple steps:
1. Enter your city or zip code and pick a route
2. Save it to your favorites (make sure you’re logged in)
3. The next time you run that route, add the route to your run
4. Keep running and tagging your runs to claim your crown

So find a route, challenge your friends, grab your kicks, and own your city.

I appreciate the idea and effort, yet at the risk of
being an ingrate I am not diggin' this so much. I
run a 4 mile course that I repeat for 8, 12, 16, 20
miles. Because my run of 8 didn't match my route
I could not add the route to my favorites. I MADE
the route!? Is there a way to at least add the
routes that are made by the runners? Right now I
prefer having my routes available to me all the
time like before.

Stupid and annoying to use, pls make more user friendly. Older version seemed a little better but now grouping the routes is just annoying. Pls take a hint from other similar apps like map my run perhaps even allowing a feature to find run partners.
Thanks

Ehhh...looks like I'm having the same troubles as
everyone else on this post. I ran a posted route,
but can't figure out how to get my run time on
there. Hmmmmm

So, you just have to run a route of similar distance and you can count it toward any mapped run. Interesting, not that many runners using the app, so I guess I should try and be the boss of every route in the city!

I create a 6 miles route ..then try to add a 5.57
miles run to the route and keeps saying that my
run does not fit any route..older version was more
user friedly...anyway I still think Nike + app is the
best!

I have drawn the route, I've ran the route with
Nike+GPS... but I have no clue how to link the
two together...
Does it work for Macau? or How?

I'm using Nike+ GPS on my iPhone 4.... why can I
not join routes or apply my run to a route? Map It
just doesn't work for me at all.

I wish I knew how to link my runs to my route I've
created. So far, can't do it.
