Voice announcements - option to announce the stats since the last split #524

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Give options in the setup
2.Explain whether current audio is giving spot data or split time data - cannot 
figure out what it is though I think it is spot data
3.Must have split time info option to be truly useful - this is where the 
horrible Endomondo app wins hands down - they got that right!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of MyTracks are you using? On what version of Android? 
Latest
On what
phone?
Sony Xperia

There's no need for a log here - but an explanation is required. When there is 
audio feedback is it giving the speed at that moment or the average speed for 
the time split? The reason for setting lap or distance intervals is to get a 
split time or pace - not to know the instantaneous spot speed etc. I think 
mytracks is giving the wrong information on the split times but there is no way 
to know because there is no documentation anywhere to say.

Based on my usage of this app for the past year, the announced speed is the 
average speed for your entire activity time thus far.  So if you run 1 mile at 
10:00min/mile and the second mile at 9:00min/mile, at the end of the second 
mile it will announce a pace of 9:30min/mile.

I agree that the speed/pace for the just-completed split is what should be 
announced, as this is the information most people are interested in.

I've given up on this app. Too inaccurate over distance and not practical. The 
audio splits are not the only one problem. There is no GPS filtering and so 
distances are way off. It's a shame. Also the lack of hands free control means 
that you can't also or start without taking the phone out of your pocket - 
which on a bike can be impractical. One day this might be a good app - but then 
the current technology will already be obsolete. It's frustrating.
