New feature request: Off track signalization and Tempe senzor data #16

Open majnerp1 opened 2 years ago

majnerp1 commented 2 years ago

Can I ask you to imlement:

  1. signalization (by beeps or / and vibrate) about going off track for more than configured distance,
  2. add ANT+ Tempe senzor data to activity record stored to Garmin connect? In any case thaks for this great app.

Glad that you like my app.

Regarding your requests:

1) I agree this would be a helpful feature. The main reason why I haven't implemented it yet is that my primary target device is a rather old Forerunner 235 which is very limited in terms of available memory and performance. And the calculation of the distance between the current position and the track is quite expensive if properly done (find smallest distance between current position and orthogonal projections onto all track segements). The main part of the calculation is already done for the elevation screen with the downside of slowing down the refresh rate and more severe increasing the power consumption. I might consider to either do that calculation only at a certain intervall (e.g. 10s) or doing a special codning for more powerful devices.

2) I won't implement this feature because it is definetely beyond the intended scope of this app.
