New features to be displayed

1. Performance Index.
It would be very useful to add a new data to display: Performance index: the number of heartbeats per distance units (feet or meters). It can be calculated as follows: Heart rate (bpm) / Speed (feet or m) /min
A low value of the performance index may be due to fatigue, impaired cardiac or pulmonary, to age, overweight or bad management of its possibilities. A high value indicates a good shape, a youth of muscles or the respiratory system, the regularity of trainings

2. New data to calculate and display: theslope (in %)

3. It should be useful that we can choosemore than two lines of data to display (f.i. speed, heart rate, slope, elevation)

4. Player taskbar .Iwould have the player taskbar placed in the bottom of the screen and not on top because it is useless when printing.So would the title appear at the top of the printed document.

5. Theaverage values (bpm, speed, elevation, etc.) must appear somewhere above the curves.

6. Add the possibility of smoothing curves

Thanks and good trainings !!!

As to your first point I agree, but with a slight modification.

You're bound to get a great deal of different opinions of how to correctly measure "performance", and so I think the best way would be for the software to allow for a custom formula based on all the other default values recorded.

So, for example, I'd prefer to take the speed divided by heartbeats, since then a higher value would indicate better performance. But one could then include - if one wanted - yet another value such as elevation gain/loss. This would make up for the seemingly much better performance when going downhill as opposed to uphill.

So, being able to customize one field I think would be a better solution.
