Feature Requests
Posted: 06 Nov 08 4:27 PM

I'm not trying to take over the forum or step on any toes of- posters, devs, or mods. However, after being on many gaming forums it's nice to see one post about a feature topic and not 20 posts for features. I tried to go though and find any other feature request posts in the forum and pop them into one thread. Hopefully any new request can be added to this thread.
Is is also possible to sticky a post at the top of the forum?
Feature Requests
1. Live Upload - Syphon (Eric)
Can this be set to upload my accumulated data as I ride say every 5, 10, or 15 minutes?
Can it be saved to the same trip?
Since I can make my trip public if they refresh it will it update my position on it?
2. Windows Mobile Support - Syphon (Eric)
Support for Windows Mobile for phone like the BlackJack 2.
3. Triathlon / Duathlon Support - Syphon (Eric)
I like training for these and would like the option of selecting either and have
it work like this:
Duathon Mode - Start tracking running, a button press for transition, a button
press for biking, a button press for transition, a button press for running.
Currently I have to stop the running, wait for GPS to acquire for biking,
stop the biking, and again wait for GPS to acquire for running again.
The same would be true for Triathlon for swim / bike / run. Yes I would take my
phone training for even swim, I have water proof accessories for it.
4. Stationary Workouts - RickSTL
For those of us who use AllSport to also track our stationary workouts,
could you please add a calories prompt in the advanced features while
manually updating via the website.
5. Mile Splits Website Stats - spaceshiptrip
I started my AllSport in the Running mode. I then selected a
program titled Mile Splits. It seemed to do it's job on the
phone, when a mile is passed, it beeps and records information
about the last mile.
After the run, I can view the splits on the blackberry,
BUT when I try to view the lap splits on the website,
there is no way to do it.
6. Editing Programs - Memnock
Edit or add programs. For example I would like 8 min/1 min to be 9 min/1 min.
7. Export for backup - KD7LRJ
Export all of my activities at once. I can do it one at a time,
but I have 400+ that I'd like to transfer to my computer.
8. Memory Card Usage - Cliffnotes
Store maps and trips on the memory card on the Blackberry.
9. UPDATED - See Below
10. Correlate the Ride Profile - sbirkan
11. UPDATED - See Below
12. Ovelay speed onto google map - smeakim
13. Overlay elevation onto google map - smeakim
14. Skating profile - MTE
15. Export to computrainer crs or 3dc format. - rsay
This would allow you to directly import the file into computrainer 3d
and practice riding a course before an event without going through
an external gpx to 3dc/crs conversion program.
16. Training alerts. - vbrobert
Sound alerts to let us know we are going too slow or two fast.
17. Large Print - specialized
Enlarging the data screen to a functional size so I can be used as an actual bike computer.
18. Button Lock - jcarneytx
Add that a button/screen lock would be nice.
My phone has a a screen lock, but using it causes Allsport GPS to stop tracking.
19. Addition of (sub)mile markers to the maps - jhlafter
20. Overlay of speed and elevation data to maps - jhlafter
21. Inclusion of Central Park trail maps - jhlafter
22. Allow input (or create automatic input) of weather/temperature in the Summary on My account
23. Pictures Feature - GregReese
So we can snap a picture on the iphone without having to exit and restart AllSport.
24. Pictures Feature - Syphon (Eric)
Take photos with geotag and upload the photo(s) with trip data along the ride (auto poi?)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature updates
9. More Verizon Support - Various Forum Users
Unfortunately there are a bunch of contracts and legal issues required to selling an application on the "deck" of a particular wireless carrier. We were able to work this out with Verizon and our Outdoors application, but not for the AllSportGps or Geocache Navigator application. However, we are still working on it. If you have a BlackBerry on the other hand, most wireless carriers do not restrict the sale of applications for those devices. - kevin77
11. Elapse times exported with .gpx data. - kcarnahan
I don't believe there is anything specific for this in the official Gpx 1.1 schema. For example, if you mean just seeing something like:
1:34:20
...points...
meaning that the track took a total of 1 hour, 34 minutes, and 20 seconds. You should be able to derive that information based upon the individual time stamps on each track point.
Now as for having time stamps on each track point that depends on where/how the trip was created. There are several trips in our system that do not have time stamp information on the track points. Perhaps that is what you're seeing.
However, you can download the following trip to your computer as Gpx and import it into Google Earth and you will get the time line displayed:
http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip.aspx?tripId=175976
But I've never used that feature. I've just read a little about it, but not sure what it's supposed to do. I've always used the "fly by" mode to follow a track.
Maybe you can give me a few more specifics and I'll look into it more. - kevin77
15. Export to computrainer crs or 3dc format. - rsay
This would allow you to directly import the file into computrainer 3d
and practice riding a course before an event without going through
an external gpx to 3dc/crs conversion program.
The current version of AllSport kind of has this feature with the use of its built in "Programs". Download the User Guide here and read about Programs located under the Advanced Features section.
(The documentation states that we support custom programs, but we do not.) - kevin77 |

| Only admins can create sticky threads. I'll go ahead and do it for this one and like you said, others can reply to it to add more feature requests. |

| I agree with Triathlon functionality quoted above but would like the option of uploading swimming manually and the option to do this as an individual activity. eg. enter distance and time and have it calculate calories burned. |

A zoom feature for the doemloaded maps would be great.
THen youcould actualy use it to plot new rides and follow them without getting lost. |

| Elapse times exported with .gpx data. This would allow for greater analysis and curve smoothing algorithms to be applied if imported into an application such as Excel. Additionally, the elapse times could be viewed over a timeline in Google Earth. |

I am looking for trimble allsports to work with Verizon service. I don't understand why you can use trimble outdoor and not trimble allsport.
Also I was going to create a trip and noticed that the map of central park does not contain any of the trails. I run trails more than the road and am looking for this detail.
thanks |

| It would be nice if the maps and trips on the phone could be stored on the memory card on the Blackberry, and if you could import tiles from an online map service to allow higher zoom levels, etc. The extra space would mean I could keep more map data on the phone, and access to the gpx files on the phone would be nice. |

| When looking at the Summary on My account it would be great if there was a way to corellate the ride profile with the map. The ride profile shows a mile scale but the map has no mile markers. There is a website out there that actually has a cursor that moves along your route as you move along the profile bar. |

| Enlarging the data screen to a functional size so I can be used as an actual bike computer. ie. Large easy to read speed, large distance and avg, then smaller time and rest. This with a zoom for the maps would ROCK !!! |

| Thanks Syphon for compiling the info. And thank you Kevin for putting it here. With AllSport, it is my understanding the a target group of users is folks in training for some type of event. With this in mind, what is the enhancement path and priority for AllSport? How often are there upgrades and what will they be going forward. How do we get the updates on our phones? thx. |

| It would be neat to have sound alerts to let us know we are going too slow or two fast. For example I want to average 7 minute miles. If I just run a 10 minute mile a alert could be played. or if my average mile goes over a minute above my goal. |

I second adding this feature. I usually use my HRM but sometime I'll forget it. I typically use the elapsed time to change what I'm doing (at the moment, it's run 2 mins, walk 1 min). I larger/zoomed time counter would be great.
I would also like to add that a button/screen lock would be nice. My phone has a a screen lock, but using it causes Allsport GPS to stop tracking. I've started using an old id card held in place with a rubber band to prevent my touchscreen from activating when I stick it in a pack or pocket (cycling). I just hold it in my hand when running, so no issue there.
Still, adding 'zoom' counter screen (similar to the map/elev/speed screens) you could click on with larger numbers would be great for two reasons: it would get you away from the main screen and accidental 'stop' button push as well as having a dedicated screen you can easily glance at while running (or biking, etc). |

+1 for picture taking in within AllSport GPS. Also would like the ability to see points of interested that I've saved on the website and downloaded to my phone. How about being able to see your totals like on the website as well. |

I have an LG Xenon and some apps (like the GPS app) will keep the screen on continuously, whereas the AllSportGPS turns the screen off after a (short) period of time. I would love a way to turn that off, so I can see the screen at all times. The phone has a separate auto dim function, but that just controls turning of the backlighting, not the whole screen.
I use my AllSport while cycling and have it on a handlebar mount. I can get the screen to come back on by pressing the wake up (middle) button, but would prefer not to have to do this, partially for safety reasons, since the button is pretty small and I have to look carefully at the phone. If I press the wrong button I end up having to navigate through some menus back to the AllSport, and that gets a little dicey while riding.
Otherwise a big thumbs ups!!  |

| Still waiting for an update on custom (or at least more) programs. As well, the single, tiny beep that marks the lap change (eg from run to walk) is only good if you run in the country. In the city you never hear it! |

| Has anyone figured out how to make the beep louder? My Curve 8900 is too quiet to hear running in the city, as you mention. Wondering if the beep is associated with one of the profile entries, such as message alert. |

Hi all
I have been using AllSportGPS on the Iphone 3g for about 4 months. The main frustration is the continual requirement to download the same map again and again.
If you zoom in or out by mistake it continually re-downloads the same map. This is really frustrating when you are trying to follow a route and the app does not automatically download the next relevant section of the map and hold on to it.
Am I doing something wrong ? Great App just needs a few more tweeks
Thanks

It sure would be nice to add a small "button" / "touch screen icon" so a user could activate and take a GeoTagged Photo with the iPhone without having to pause/stop activity. A "camera icon" at the top of the activity screen next to the "lock/unlock" icon might be a good place that way you could access this feature without having to flip through other screens to get to it. This added feature would be good for walkers, hikers & backpackers, and situations when users would want to take a quick geotagged photo that could be integrated into the "trip" or activity they are engaged in "on the fly".
 Thanks for "thinking about it". |
