Reposting this after I lost ~5 miles today not noticing the unit had rebooted:
With the 1050, there is no longer a startup tone, so when the unit crashes it just sits with the ride stopped until I you look down notice it's not running. For some reason the super annoying blue arrow + beep that will not stop no matter what screen you're on when there is no activity doesn't kick in and it happily lets you keep going with the activity stopped.
Just make the activity start automatically if it was going when the unit crashed. Should be pretty simple to write the state to flash and read it back upon restarting from a crash. This is like a no-brainer level feature.
