Abstract
A system includes a shoe and a pod. The pod is disposed at the shoe and includes a positioning component and an altimeter. The positioning component determines a first geodetic location of the shoe at a first time, whereas the altimeter determines a first elevation of the shoe at the first time. The first positioning component additionally determines a second geodetic location of the shoe at a second time and generate shoe distance data based on the first geodetic location and the second geodetic location. The altimeter additionally determines a second elevation of the shoe at the second time. The positioning component additionally determines a total distance traveled based on the shoe distance data, the first elevation and the second elevation.
