I've been using this for a few months, free app on one of my old Androids. You can just stick it in your boot. Super easy.

Do you ever quit bitching? "this is spam, next he's going to charge for it". I was kind of kidding with the d-bag remark...but apparently I hit the nail on the head.

I don't think its about the type of phone, but rather the Operating System.

Most apps are free for Android, my HTC one has had the shit kicked out of it for 2 years and is still in solid form. Anyways I'll give the app a shot and see how it goes. whether to mount it on my arm or the bike is the question.



I always laugh when the "Iphoner's" get upset. "You are going to alienate the whole market!!!!" Do people still buy IPhones? What a ripoff. Less than 15% of all smart phones are apples with market share still falling and they still don't get it.

Thats the app i use. I like being able to set the split markers after recording. Heart rate integration would be nice.

No, iPhone is not a supported device and it is not planned for the future.
Nice job about your app! Hats off and thank you for sharing to the public.

And good move to make it for Android instead of iOS. I have a Sony as well!

What app is this?

Currently I'm testing the next new release which will allow to see the resting time elapsed since last session stopped.
Does the app store a record of the heart rate for the session, or is it just live monitoring? Also, is there a time limit for each lap? I'm a GNCC competitor, and our laps are over 30 minutes each.

So you just buy an old phone on e-bay or something? Excuse my tech incompantance, but you then have to sync this used phone with your current to download the apps? And how do you put in in your boot??
thanks

I have an old Android Nexus from before my last phone upgrade, you could do it with a new phone but a smaller older one is probably less intrusive in your boot. The Nexus S just slides right in your boot without unsnapping or anything. My Beta has a spot on the seat with a small cell phone holder that I use. It is not practical to read it while you are riding. It requires no active cell service since it works off of GPS satellite fixes. When I get home I do a screenshot save and use wifi and dropbox to be able to access it anywhere. You can load the session onto a computer to analyze it more but I haven't yet. Sunday I dropped it into 3 riders boots in about a 1/2 hour and everybody got to see their best time, optimum lap (if you put all your best traps together) and top speed and how consistent your lines are lap after lap (greatly affected by track traffic).

The original setup for each track works best if you walk the track, I chose to count each corner as the end of a trap. For people who mostly ride practice it makes it a lot more fun. I have already had an A rider Jerry Farmer tow me around the track and help me get the right speed off of jumps and dropped 8 seconds a lap (I'm a C rider coming back from about 6 years of no bike). Sunday I was able to see a 6 second difference between gearing changes that might have been hard to otherwise gauge.
