weebitbreezy said..The app is definitely getting better all the time!
2 things I noticed in my most recent session.
1. Don't do one footers with your watch arm. The app detects you moving your arm down to the board and interprets it as the start of the descent. It took me a few minutes to work this out on the water
2. Really soft landings aren't detected all the time. I got a 15m jump with 10 seconds of hangtime as the landing wasn't detected (I'm guessing it was the next bit of chop that was detected as the landing). I'm happy with this as I'd rather that be the case than have a heliloop detected as the landing with me yanking the bar. Also I don't think I've ever had such a smooth landing as that. Definitely not the correct heights though as it was 12-15 knots of wind on a directional with a 12m kite.
Also - in terms of marriage saver, its good to be able to show a GPS track to prove I was actually exercising and not just sat in the pub for 2 hours avoiding the kids
:) Marriage saver....love it ! good to here,
I have been heavily distracted with some other projects lately, and I haave not really had much use myself of the latest version, but maybe this weekend.
Yeah..... It's a challange to do everything, with the watch, ultimately if you really want accuracy the only place that will guarantee it is strapping your watch to the chicken loop or maybe on your head on a hat or helmet, and in that case you can spin, dingle dangle, board flip as much as you like - those are the areas of least corruption when it comes to corrupting factors.
The watch won't allways detect the board - off as a descent, but because the sample resolution is what it is, sometimes rapid movements can do things like capture the descent but miss the descent reversal when you stop your hand descending which then makes the data tricker to interpret.
I have put some limits on the landing in relation to the acceleration phase that does two things.
1 - If there is no landing detected within that period, it will assign you the average landing time for that typoe of jump, and
2 - If you do manage to get hit by an updraft after the apex, then your landing will probably be off the end of the recording data ( 10 - 12 seconds ), in which case the landing will be averaged and not the actual 15 / 30 / 60 second handtime.
This is a nmmecessity due to a lot of the basic watch models running out of memory for calculations if there is too much data being stored.
in real time get enough people networked out there and could use eachothers data to calibrate if everyones going between 5 and 60kmph then when one person gets a bad gps ping and it says they just travelled at 120kmph instantly then it would check to see what the rest of the watches are doing and void out that "bad" gps ping ?
