MEJORAS/NEW FEATURES / Re: smartwatch

Hello Oruxmaps user and developer,



I am still very satisfied with the use of Oruxmaps on my smartphone that helped me a lot (biking, mountaineering).



I'm trying to use it on a LG Urbane smartwatch for mountaineering.

Here are my few comments:

- The start / stop of recording is not very readable: it is difficult to have confidence.

- The display stops as soon as the travel speed falls: on car : continuous display, on foot, you have to restart the application to get information updates (an adaptation of the display period would be more useful): the watch does not provide the ease of use expected.

- The data displayed are not very relevant (eg : orientation): it does not seem possible to select the data (eg for ski touring: altitude, variation of altitude, slope, distance ...)

- the altimeter and heart rate monitor of the watch are not available (as is the case with all apps),

- The map display would be nice, but hey, a smartwatch will never replace the smartphone with its large screen.



In summary, the current version is not suitable for my needs but the potential appears to me fantastic.



Again thank you for this great app!
