It's fascinating to see how our users put MotionBased to the test. Equally intriguing is seeing how MotionBased can be used in almost any situation. Recently, huntlyman's story was posted on the Garmin Blog. Hunt, along with a team of doctors, utilized the data uploaded to MotionBased from his Forerunner 305 to pinpoint the area where he fainted. Further analysis of the problem run gave doctors clues to the medical problem Hunt experienced.
Looking at the shot of the Map Player below, Hunt and his doctors were able to see how long he had been unconscious. The Map Player further revealed more clues to the trauma:
"Most revealing, though, was the review of the run on MotionBased's new Map Player. While I had seen the outline of the run on Training Center, rural roads were not indicated on the software's map. It was while watching the MotionBased simulation over a week later that I realized that not only had I run along Route 50 on my way home, but for a short distance after the fall I had gone the opposite way on this major road – East towards Washington instead of West towards my house. Normally, I would avoid running on this road at all, and I would never follow it East. Clearly, I had been extremely disoriented,"
Through a traumatic experience, the Garmin - MotionBased system helped to provide valuable clues to aid Hunt in his battle with heat exhaustion, both the recovery and prevention in the future.
