Add option of using features w/out OW, using the GPS and other sensor data on device

(Right now this setting this as a discussion, not entirely sure what features I'm asking for yet :-)

We get requests to support other boards, and something that I thought about while snowboarding last week and really enjoying/getting use to what our app provides, we may be able to do a small subset of features using mobile device sensor data. GPS for speed + top speed, speed alerts, trip logging/logged rides, and possibly even a rough battery estimate (assuming 100% at the beginning of the ride and lowering over distance traveled for the ride).

Further, we can add device sensor data to the existing OW data and enhance the dashboard and logged rides, including,

• ambient temp
• mobile device axis (can detect when I fall on my ass)
• accelerometer
• heart rate
• light (in lux units)

For Android there are helpers (https://source.android.com/devices/sensors/sensor-types) providing models from the raw sensor data, things that can tell if your walking, tilt of the device, things like that.

Thoughts?

Also the app I use for snowboarding, and have for years, is the lightweight and dependable 'Ski Tracks' https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.corecoders.skitracks&hl=en - it's worth checking out and shows similar features that we have for pOneWheel
