Real time performance comparison involves identifying predefined route data corresponding to a route. Measured locations are detected while a user traverses the route carrying a mobile device. The measured locations are sent via a network synchronously with the detection of the respective measured locations. Comparative data points are derived based on the predefined route data and the measured locations in response to receiving the measured locations. The comparative data points are sent, via the network, in response to measured locations. The comparative data points allow the user to measure relative performance during the route traversal.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, identify predefined route data corresponding to a route; determine to detect, via a location sensor, measured locations while a user traverses the route carrying the location sensor; determine to transmit the measured locations to a network service synchronously with the detection of the respective measured locations; and receive from the network service of comparative data points in response to measured locations sent to the network service, wherein the comparative data points are derived based on the predefined route data and the measured locations, and used to measure relative exercise performance during the route traversal. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is further caused to identify the predefined route via the network service. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the route is an exercise route, the comparative data points comprises at least one of exercise statistics of the user and exercise statistics relative to one or more other users who have traversed or are traversing the route. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a display, and wherein the apparatus is further caused to render on the display, relative locations of the user and the other users, based on the exercise statistics. 5. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the relative exercise performance comprises rankings of the user relative to the one or more other users who have traversed or are traversing the route. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is within a mobile device, and the apparatus is further caused to: determine to render audio representation of the comparative data points to the user via during route traversal. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: compare current physiological exercise statistics of the user with the exercise statistics; and determine to transmit a warning of an increased heath risk. 8. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the one or more other users are in at least one of a selected exercise time period group, a performance level group, a selected age group, a selected weight group, and a selected sex. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: compare current physiological exercise statistics of the user with exercise statistics of a selected animal or machine. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: download, upload, augment and search for the predefined route and the exercise statistics via a dedicated service. 11. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: receive a selection of a target exercise performance on the route based upon the exercise statistics; and determine to display an instruction to slow down or speed up based upon comparison between performance of the user and the target exercise performance. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the apparatus is further caused to: determine to display an alert to stop or turn back, when the user is not able to finish the route or to finish the route with an intensity level in line with the target exercise performance, wherein the comparison is based upon intensity measurement of at least one of an average heart rate, a workout type, and an exercise type. 13. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, identify predefined route data corresponding to a route; receive by a network service measured locations from a mobile device synchronously with the detection of the measured locations by the mobile device; derive comparative data points based on the predefined route data and the measured locations, wherein the comparative data points are used to measure relative exercise performance during the route traversal; and determine to transmit the comparative data points from the network service to the mobile device during the route traversal. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the route is an exercise route, and the apparatus is further caused to derive the comparative data points by deriving statistics relative to one or more other users who have traversed or are traversing the route. 15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the relative exercise performance comprises rankings of the user relative to the one or more other users who have traversed or are traversing the route.
