if you dont mind solder the cables on yourself then the modules pretty cheap on ebay. I use a module from ebay for the ackmaniac application.

The GUI is great! Looks better than all the others currently available. Keep up the good work and let me know when you release it!

you want me to send you an email or something? so i can test it?

What a coincidence. In our bay area group (Esk8 Squad Bay Area) we are about to select our standard Esk8 track App. We were discussing which App to select.

This looks really promising, hopefully it turns out well.

Its not released yet, but I hope to be in the running when it is. However, your comment gave me some ideas about group skating with possible challenges etc.

@Crossfire Here is the design for Apple Smart Watch

Brad, that looks next level, man! So sick!

In general, please make sure that the app “always” stays connected to the gps. So we can easily turn off the screen, put the phone in our jackets and not have to worry about if it tracks properly.

That map underlay will be dynamic as you ride? Very nice!

Metric/imperial option?

Keep up the good work, man! Really loving it so far. If you need a beta tester for the iWatch app, let me know! I’ll gladly test the stuff out. :thumbsup:

Yes the map will be dynamic, I will have a setting to keep GPS on by default after starting ride.

@bradrisse will that work for a regular smart watch?

Ill make sure when I release it will work with both Apple Smart Watch and Android Wear. I dislike when apps come out with support for Apple and not Android or vice versa.

This needs to be a law. I can’t say it better myself. It’s terrible when that happens.

Any chance of developing for the galaxy gear too?

Looks like there are some porting options for converting to tizen, so yes.

Yeah the developper of metr never developped the tizen version of his app ! Nice to see yours coming. I have some bluetooth modules on all my board and ride 20 km a day. I can be in the beta test if u like.

How works the odometer ? Do u have to record to add ? Or it does it by itself ?
