  • I erased and re-installed the app. I noticed that when I start the activity, it showed 0:00 for half a second and it then jumped to 19:59.

    This only happens the first time after changing the configuration

  • thanks for your tests - of course you're right about the replacement need for some of the special characters (e.g."<") to store them in an XML file - in case of "<" and ">" this is always needed - regardless of the encoding ;-)

    Would be interesting, which encoding the device itself uses...

  • am I right that "Elapsed time" includes all the pause times? If yes, is there a field, which only shows the time "in speed"?
    And "Current pause time" only shows a value if you're currently standing? If yes, is there a field for "Total pause time"?

    And another thing: which value range should I use for GPS accuracy (I want to color it with a dynamic color)? Is it going from 0.0 (no GPS) to 10.0 (optimal GPS) - and therefore the dynamic color values are going from 0...100?
    Or is the GPS accuray in percent and going from 0...100% (and therefore the color values from 0...1000)?

  • Hi

    Currently there is no value Total pause time available, but in the next release it will (-:

    GPS accuracy ranges from 0-4 as the SDK provides it (0: no GPS 4: best signal).

    I added an additional field "GPS high acc indicator" which is set to 1 when you stand still and the speed shown is also zero, that means that the GPS got the best fix. Because sometimes GPS accuracy of 4 is still not the best. I hope I explained it understandable.

    regards

  • Thanks - you're incredible!

    Working on a new layout having the estimated coordinates now is very helpful!
    But please excuse that I give my wishes drop by drop and piece by piece... but on working, following came into my mind:
    After adding the new element (highlighted element), pointing at the place of x/y and then click a extraordinary key-combination for pasting the coordinates on their place in the element-list would be amazing! Let's say Shift+LeftMouse->x and y, and Shift+RightMouse->x2 and y2 (if there are any).

    Please just consider it as an idea - only do it if you think it makes sense and it is not a lot of effort.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Its already available, didn't you see it ;-))

  • Sorry I didn't express my comment well.
    Yes, I have seen it (thanks a lot) and it is really very helpful when adding new elements.

    But during my work (with the help seeing x/y) the idea above came in my mind - as addition to showing the coordinates.

  • There is a twinker smiley at the end...

    I added the shortcuts for setting x/y and x2/y2 right after your post and updated the 2.3.5 designer.
