I'm building a Indoor Walking app - feel free to make suggestions!

I'm the guy that did the "hike" app for outdoor Hiking and Walking

https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/39d3b5e8-67db-4517-93a8-5ec485269635

I'm working on a stripped down version for recording "indoor walking". Hike depends on GPS, and this won't, but includes footpod support.

The look and feel will be the same has "hike", but without GPS, there will be fewer screens. (no waypoints, altitude, GPS location, etc) and what I have planned right now is 4 screens:

- Time and Distance (almost the same as hike, but "waypoints" is now "laps")
- Pace and Speed (same as hike)
- Steps and Calories (same as hike)
- Cadence (current, avg, and max) and new! (but I may add it to hike)

All screens will display the current TOD, and Temperature/current Heart Rate if those sensors are available. No auto-laps, but it will have a manual lap button.

If you have anything you'd like to see added, you can suggest it now! (some things may not be possible, and some suggestions could be hard, but I'll consider them all!)

Please post your ideas here:

    I downloaded it yesterday and the app works great. Nice and Simple, and just works. Thank you for the time and effort to enhance the basic functionality of this watch.

    The Indoor Walking app is now in the app store!

    Great-downloaded! Thanks!
    Would you recommend your hiking app for walking outdoors, or the Leki Nordic Walking app-not that you're biased, I'm sure! ;)

    As I've only used hike, and I'd recommend it! :) When you start "hike", you can switch it so it records as a "walk", so it's not just for hiking - but outdoor walking too, but still has the GPS info with waypoints and locations if you want to see it.

    "Indoor Walking" is actually just a stripped down version of hike, and I could make it so it could record an "Indoor Hike", but that seemed silly! :)

    Hike

    hello
    fix a bad kilometer distance. When the clock rests in a basement, you can also go to the odometer. Why? No other activity is not engaged. Email reluctant to send the captured data. The whole activity is not 10 km, instead of almost 25 kilometers recorded

    I'm not quite sure what trying to tell me, but I'll try to answer

    You're getting a bad distance, I get that, but "When clock rests in a basement", I dont.

    Do you start hike running, and then stop some place?

    That is when you should press the "start" button again, which will pause the recording. At that point, you can press the "back" button and look at the screens while the recording is paused. Then press "start" again, and pick resume.

    The recording of data (including distance) is all done in the firmware, but you can pause it as I described. If the distance is wrong, it seems you either didn't pause it, or didn't stop the recording when you were done.

    If it's easier for you to describe this in another language, that might help me, as I can use a web based translator.

    Here's the thread about hike, and please post it there:
