motionbased

motionbased is a web-based platform for recording, storing, and analyzing GPS-enabled athletic activities. Users upload data from GPS devices such as bike computers or running watches, or from mobile apps, and the service generates interactive maps, routes, and analytics. It provides metrics like distance, pace, elevation gain, and, when available, heart rate and cadence. The platform supports route visualization, playback, and exporting data for use in other training tools.

In addition to analytics, motionbased offered social and sharing features, enabling athletes to publish workouts, compare performance, and engage with clubs or groups. The service was widely used by endurance athletes, coaches, and teams seeking online training logs and long-term performance trends. It also served as a data repository, aggregating multiple workouts to support training decisions.

motionbased was part of the generation of early cloud-based GPS training platforms that influenced later services. Its emphasis on GPS data visualization and accessible analytics helped shape how athletes track and analyze workouts in online environments.
