Geographic map and some other suggestions.

Discussion for Sports Tracker

Hi all, im new and eager ST user :) just received my n79 active pack couple days ago.
The application/website is great, but it still have some things to improve to be the best out there!

So here are some suggestions for the future:

+ Geographic map addon for cross country/mountain bike cyclers! This is a MUST!
+ Diary entry for other activities, like gym or soccer etc. (does the wellness diary do the job?)
+Fix the bug that prevents showing the date when keys are locked.
+More precise profile config for every activity, like the display rotation, speed display min/km or km/h, whether to use GPS or not(if not needed like in gym exercise)
+Adding a friend who is using ST also, and he could be shown in the map screen. While we are cycling long distances.

Thats the ideas so far. I keep it up-to-date.

Please leave me a comment :)

Thnxbye

A number of these suggestions have already been discussed elsewhere, but they are good suggestions.

+ Geographic map addon for cross country/mountain bike cyclers! This is a MUST!
If you want this, you would then need to be able to download the maps via PC due to the data size. Also I assume you would be only viewing the full map screen as this information would be useless on the main screen (too small)

+ Diary entry for other activities, like gym or soccer etc. (does the wellness diary do the job?)
Yes, but not compatible with the NST v2.x workout files

+Fix the bug that prevents showing the date when keys are locked.
Haven't seen this bug. Where is this date information shown (what screen?)

+More precise profile config for every activity, like the display rotation, speed display min/km or km/h, whether to use GPS or not(if not needed like in gym exercise)
Agreed

+Adding a friend who is using ST also, and he could be shown in the map screen. While we are cycling long distances.
This can be done in Friends View, but yet another peice of software running. Issue would be will adding this detract or degrade the perfoemance og NST.

Yes i noticed now that some of those are mentioned earlier. But guess i just wanted to show my participant to this project.

Geograpchi maps:
Sure it should be downloaded by the PC, and i believe there is no person who does not have the opportunity to do so. And yes prolly i mainly use it on full screen, but someone would like to use it while in the first ST screen, like who haves bigger display(ex. 5800xpressmusic).
But anyway we use it, we really need it. ( kinda bought this product becouse of it)

WD: Well then we wait till it updates with the latest ST. Or ST team makes modifications to the website and/or the phone application.

Someone else posted the same issue with the keylock bug, but surprise surprise, cant find the post now. Maybe it was somewhere else than betalabs.... It may have been fixed by now, havent tested.. I will today.

The friend add thing is just a a funny thought, and if it will degrade performance of ST. I do not wish it to be added then.

Maybe im just wishing too much, but hey, you gotta aim high ! :)
