Hi All,

I am new to iPhone development. I want to make a simple iPhone application which when launched computes the distance travelled by the user,calories burnt,postion of the user,movement.Can anybody provide me the details or approach to follow to develop this application.

A: 

Yes, follow the steps outlined in the following links:

A: 

All you need is inside the Core Location framework (and some math). If you don't know how to use the Core Location framework, just look at the Apple developer page, there are tons of sample code (and they should also have some sample video from the last techtalk)

Unfortunetely, it's not that simple.

You will have to learn xCode/Objective C/C#.

I suggest you start by getting a book, i recommend:

Beginning iPhone Development - Mark LaMarche
iPhone for Programmers: An app driven approach
The iPhone developers cookbook

You should be able to find these as eBooks as well (if that's what you like).


Unless you want a step by step tutorial for a fitness program... Then you'll be out of luck.

Once you learn to write apps you'll need to integrate 3D acceleration and orientation data from the accelerometer and magnetometers, [this SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2733249/detecting-acceleration-in-a-car-iphone-accelerometer) might help in that.
