...Yeah, on watch calculations is an artform. Particularly with Garmin as they have extreme battery saving measures which limit the calculations.

I noticed that Surfr drains watch battery heavier than KJ Pro. And session data transfer takes ages after Exit&Save.

I got new firmware v27.00 for my Fenix6, which amongst the other changes states "Added support for 100hz sensor rate for CIQ apps.". I wonder if that higher sampling rate will help for better jump estimation accuracy with KiteJump Pro?

:)

Maybe.....,... But in any case you will already see the effect.

:)

Had my first session since the update - I don't know if this is the new 100Hz sampling rate or change in the algorithm, but jump detection felt different. Previously it was detecting every little pop(1.0-1.5m) and was overestimating the height, while today only when going over 2.0m jumps were detected and jump height estimation was restrained and pretty spot on according to my inner gut :)

Glad you liked it. Jumps under 2 to 3 metres are disabled, as when I did my comparison testing with the other devices, I discovered they can be off by miles, and so were my calculations occasionally. Since removing them I've not had any reports of and large phantom jumps also.

Beware - something funny happend the first time I used the new version , and to other people, first start it immediately crashed, but then subsequent uses it has been fine. I think it's related to installing the latest version, but honestly I've no clue why or what caused it.

On the water latest test today in 25 - 30kts against the WOO4. Not bad for 10 bucks.

Hi,

Done a few days ago, I update it periodically - Fenix models added

&w=96&q=75f?nix? 8 AMOLED (43mm)&w=96&q=75f?nix? 8 AMOLED (47mm/51mm), quatix? 8 AMOLED (47mm/51mm)&w=96&q=75f?nix? 8 Pro, f?nix? 8 Pro - 47 mm, AMOLED, f?nix? 8 Pro - 51 mm, AMOLED, f?nix? 8 Pro - 51 mm, MicroLED&w=96&q=75f?nix? 8 Solar (47mm), f?nix? 8 Dual Power (47mm)&w=96&q=75f?nix? 8 Solar (51mm), f?nix? 8 Dual Power (51mm)

Just tested KiteJump PRO as ported for Fenix8 in underpowered conditions - way more consistent and precise than Surfr on the same HW! Not a single missed jump, where Surfr often freezes for 3-5 minutes not detecting anything! Just a single outlier jump for 74 of them! After landing a jump I say to myself "That was around X.Ym high" and after watch does its "magic" the height it calculates is usually within 0.5m from my gut feeling. It's amazing how a single developer can achieve better results than an entire company! Well done @dachopper1 !!! It's a pity that KiteJump PRO will never reach the popularity of Surfr, although being more precise and consistent! :(
