After a brief pause…. there’s a new release
Currently this release is Beta – there are a few major changes and I want feedback on how these work!
http://www.runsaturday.com/runsat/release/runsat_1_1_1.CAB
The changes are:
Major:
- changes to the GPS processing:
—- Samples are now checked for horizontal accuracy (default is that 50m accuracy is required)
—- Smoothing has been removed
—- Speed is now calculated on the raw data
- changes to the charting – as I said this was done by a separate developer – he’s added some background numbers and some options to change the display and the zoom…
- the name! runsat rather than navmi – more changes still needed here!
Minor:
- additions to GPX files – speed (Metres Per Second as per GPX spec) – as per requests
- additions to KML files – some lap waypoints, some summary information – as per requests
- change of the “pause” button – so it’s a bit more distinctive when pressed
There’s also an example language file (English) at http://www.runsaturday.com/runsat/release/example.lang.xml – I’ve already got an offer for German – will see what else comes along and will include these in future releases. To use this, you need to edit the contents, rename it to e.g. klingon.lang (not with “.xml”) and then place it in the runsat directory – it will then appear within Settings->Languages
As I said, I’m a bit concerned about some of the major changes at present. They seem to work well for me – but I’d like some more users to test them – just in case other phones or other GPS units work significantly differently.
Let me know how you get on – either here, on Talk on runsaturday.com or on the xda developers forum
Thanks again to H for helping out with the new charting code.

I just upgraded the ROM on my HTC TouchPro 2 and Navmi 1.06 stopped working because of an issue with the phones GPS turning on and off every second in the new ROM to save battery. I downloaded and installed RunSat 1.1.1 and every works again!
I will use it tomorrow on a 100 mile bike ride and report back.
Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hello. Sorry for my bad English.
Tested both release on HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) – working steadily, several times hovered pda, but it is a problem device – shortage RAM.
Very useful in RunSat of choice of language, but it is not convenient to measure the speed in min / km, in Russia routinely measure the speed in kmh. You can make the choice of method of displaying the speedometer?
Thank you.

Thanks for the comments
Sorry about the lack of RAM
You can choose whether to have speed – kmh – or pace – min/km – for each sport within the settings.

On my device when selecting rate – measurements are displayed in kmh, but on the scoreboard 59:59, better than was done in the release Navmi 1.0.6.
And one more comment – with the help http://www.runsaturday.com/runsat/release/example.lang.xml impossible to completely translate the program – some items are missing.

There is a bug in 1.1.1 that speed/pace text are the wrong way around. Not sure what ” when selecting rate … better than was done” meant? Sorry
On the lang comment, please let me know which items are missing from the lang file and I’ll work them into the next release. Thanks

Maybe my bad English does not allow properly express the thought …
Runsat in the choice of speed is displayed kmh and figures 59:59, and in the release Navmi 1.0.6 – display turnout speed indicator, as in the actual speedometer. I think it was better. IMHO
In the lang file no translation:
- Line items and Dots in the settings menu Plotting
- Using the GPS tracking unit of time – h: m: s
- Using GPS tracking tab in the Map – Waiting …
- When saving a file from the diary format gpx – Fail Saved
While all …

Used RunSat 1.1.1 on my 100 mile ride yesterday and it worked well. I just turned it on and threw it in my pocket, so I didn’t exercise too many features, but the basics worked. I don’t know if it’s the new MightROM or your updates, but my battery was still at 60% after a 5+ hour ride. I did turn the phone off to save power, but to only use 40% of the battery after 5+ hours of use is fantastic. My battery would go dead before the end of 100 miles with the GPS cycle computer version.

Centurian – that battery performance really does sound awesome!
Garik – from 1.1.2
- the Plotting items have keys “AutoDownloadMaps”, “Course” and “Activity”
- the h:m:s has key “h_m_s”
- waiting… has key “WaitingDotDotDot”
- File Saved is “FileSaved”
Garik – the speedometer is still available – as long as you are on a sport showing speed rather than pace.
