The system is not that good but I prefer to spend my time working on IpBike than trying to set up an alternative. It is at least good at keeping the spam away.

It is advisable to 'copy' before you try and post as the captcha stuff is a bit to agresive and the back buttone is not working for everyone.  You can at least then paste and have another go.

korken Posts: 1	Jul 29 2017, 08:22 Hello to you, ipbike is really a great piece of software, congrats to you and keep improving it, please! Following some issues / questions: 1. Compared to parallel run Garmins (500/1000) Max. Speed frequently peaks out by a lot (ANT speed sensor is always connected) . Sometimes up to 200 km/h. This is in ipbikes activity summary as well as in exported .fit files. Can one tweak this somewhere in the settings? 2. Speaking of exported .fit files. It seams that many/some programms (e.g. mytourbook, Golden Cheetah) interpret total time also as active time..and consequently calculating average active speed to low!!! Don't know wheather its a bug in your files or there algorythms...well Garmin 1000 files are processed correctly by them. Weird though, that improting ipbike fit files into Garmin Connect gives correct total and active time, the same activity exported from GARMIN connect to fit-files and than into Golden Cheetah etc. again gives the wrong same times?!?! 3. It would be very helpful to have a requester yes/no or so before ipbike stops a ride. It happened to me many times, while swiping between screens, that I accidently hit the Stop Ride botton...very annoying in the middle of a ride. 4. It would be very conveniant, if ipbike had an option to completly automatically upload activities to online portals after ending a ride, maybe with a requester yes/no. The current solution (in my opinion) takes to many steps. 5. TTS-Feedback is what we call Denglish in Germany. Can one help with it? A "famous" example to me is the statement "GPS fix is good"...sounds funny with the German TTS language active. Looks like this peace isn't translated. 6. TTS-Feedback by screen gives me only one or two values per call (no matter if its triggered by distance or manually). Next call then gives the next two values and so forth. 7. 4umaps maps have issues in highest zoom level with redrawing tiles while panning around. One has go up a level in order to make ipbike redraw that new area one has moved to in the highest level and than zoom in again. 8. In the latest version 4umaps do not work at all anymore. 9. General map problem: with high res screens (?) all maps are hardly readable in lower zoom levels. Does ipbike have a "zoom factor" like 100%, 200% to apply no matter which zoom level one is in (like many other apps...Locus, etc.). 10. Vector maps: I'm not able to activate OAM theme styles. 11. Is it possible to configure AUTO LAP by distance? 12. The Garmin cadence sensor (the one at the crank) is never activated by "itself" when starting sensors in ipbike. I always have to enter ipsensor man and open it manually. Other device like Garmin 1000 have already recognized it at that time. 13. Is it possible to deliberatly DEACTIVE ANT sensor e.g. by its id? So, many items, hope its not too much. Korken Last edit: korken Jul 29 2017, 08:28
hrocs Posts: 26	Aug 11 2017, 16:20 Hi, my experiencies: 1. I have confused speed data if GPS filtering set to other than OFF. (OFF works good) 2.Golden Cheetah interprets speed data(&other too) in my case always wrong. Garmin as well as Ipbike recorded. 3. This is never an issue for me, because I set the stop button on a hardware button. I definetly dont need an extra requester 4.Hmmm.... if I arrived at home, I switch WiFi on, and upload to Strava in a few seconds... very simple procedure(in my opinion). Lot of riders are not online on ride, so automatic upload would not work. 5.I´ve never used TTS, this feature is completly unnecessary for me 6..... 7.Openstreetmap in my case works perfect 8.... 9.I think this feature doesn´t exist. I´m pleased with my map navigation 10.??? 11. I think no 12.,13. Never had sensor issues with ANT+ heart rate belts, ANT+ powermeters. With one exeption: if I hear music over bluetooth the same time.
