I downloaded the app to my palm pre. Everything looks good but no kcal are calculating. I have entered my weight on my Palm but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas? Am I missing some setting?

Same here....never changes from -1kcal
Not only that but I see no way to upload my tracks to the website. Beginning to think this app is a POS.

The kcal issue is still not resolved.

Walking should work. I will double check this. Have you tried other sports such as running, biking? Does the calculation of kcal work with these kind of sports on your device?
Thanks Rollek

My kcal works on hiking, but im only familiar with calories. Is this another unit of measure? or Germans standard? My friend said kcal is like 3x less than normal calories?

It's a little confusing but a calorie is technically the amount energy needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius at 1 atm pressure.
What we normally call a calorie (in exercise and on nutrition labels) is really a kcal. For example, if you eat a 500 calorie meal, it's really 500,000 calories.
So, technically, the app is correct in calling it a kcal. That being said, I find the actual calculation way off. I've used bike, walking and running. I wish it was more accurate. At this point, I ignore that part.
Hint to the developer: fix it and I'd be more inclined to go for the paid version.
Other than that, I'm a big fan!

Is this issue still unresolved? I initially installed the basic version and kcal was fine. However I then decided to go for the paid premium version and now i find that I have the -1 kcal problem.
Overall I find this a really useful app though.

Rolek,
I just took a short bike ride. The kcal worked fine. The kcal just aren't calculating on walking for me.

I did two tracks today. One walking and one biking. Biking is showing calories but walking is still not.
