All - I’ve just finishing on 2 new features for the app.
- Audio Cues (@Knut_Petter_Svendsen maybe this would be beneficial to your treadmill runs)
- Now I am able to have user preference on ability to Announce the next Intervals via spoken audio. (and also announce any custom interval cues present in the MRC/ERG file) eg:
Prepare For Next Interval
Power Target - 120 to 150w
Interval Duration - 30seconds
Keep RPM steady at 80 - 90rpm
-
Ascenders (Karoo has their Climber, Garmin has ClimbPro) - I am calling mine "Ascender"
- Basically what it does is it takes your FIT/TCX/GPX file (in slope mode), processes it and then classifies any climbs that it sees (some options user configurable).
- The Algorithm is fully dependent on the altitude data from the original FIT/GPX/TCX file and knowing that barometric altimeters are also prone to weather patterns / GPS noise etc, there would invariably be some delay or errors. I also try to smoothen out the altitude and the resultant slope so it’s not too “spiky”.
eg: London, BoxHill.gpx climb Vue GPX Smoother (this is actually not as bad, some files I see spikes of 80% gradient)
Here are 2 screenshots of it. In the first screenshow, it will start to show distance to the next climb as you approach 300m to the climb, and then once you reach the climb, the chart will switch (zoom) to the climb itself. (user configurable) and the display will also show the Average Gradient of the entire climb (2.6%), distance of climb remaining (19.93km) and the remaining Altitude to climb (529m)
