Went out after work (c.13:05 GMT) adn started Noia Sports Tracker as usual only to be faced with Update Available NST 2.05. Woohoo!!
Well installed it and after using NST 1.82 for a while on my N95 8Gb the GUI looks very similar. The Live and GPS icons are smaller and I am used to the maps. Ran the first 12km before I realised that I had not heard a peep out of it (I record a route and re-run using Auto Lap set to 500m and target set to by besb previous time). I removed the phone frm my pocket in the sleeve of my running top to see that it still said Autopause (i have this set to on and the slowest speed available). A couple of seconds after I had slid my phone open to check NST the screen updated and showed my correct dictance. I slid the phone closed again and re pocketed it and repaeted the process a few more times. Each time the screen would displcay teh same information as it had when I had closed the phone when re-opened and refreshed after a couple of seconds. Towards the end of my run I had my phone open whilst passing through a 500m marker and it beeped (I have NSt set to sound only for the lap indicator. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it is frustrating. I am used to NST providing the "Lap" indicator sound whilst my phone is closed and 2.05 (on my phone) only sounds when the phone is slid open and not on the low power mode (screensaver etc.) Also I may be wrong, but it seems to be more power hungry aswell as I only ran 14.5km so was out for c. 1.5 hrs and my phone went from c.50% power to threatening to power off.
On completion of the workout when I pressed stop I did notice a new Workout Summary screen pops up (nice!). The post workout summary and map screens appear similaer to those in v1.82 except the map downloading seems improved. Also teh maps state Nokia Navteq in the corner. An option to download area maps via the NST website and upload to your phone via PC link would be nice to save time. Need to go on the NST website now to see if there are any changes there.
Well done with the new version guys, but there may still be bugs.
