Dear all,
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your wonderful Oruxmaps application, which I've been using for many years in various sports, such as walking, running and cycling.
It's wonderful, you can customize everything as you like, and I encourage you to continue.
I don't know if my question is in the right topic, sorry if it isn't.
I bought an ANT+ beurer digital box and paired it as a pedometer with Orux. I set up an ANT+ speed field to see my speed in real time.
Unfortunately, the sensor is not properly calibrated. If I'm walking, the calibration isn't so bad, but when I'm running, it's not accurate.
The official way to calibrate it is to buy a Beurer watch and use the sensor with it.
To get around the problem, I paired it with a Garmin watch as a Foot pod and discovered that there is a "Calibration Factor" setting.
This parameter can be set manually and, what's more, it can be calibrated automatically and continuously, so my speed is very accurate.
It seems that the automatic calibration is based on GPS distance, I don't know if the calibration factor is updated every km (if GPS satellites are accessible, which is sometimes difficult in the woods).
The question is: would is be possible to add a field to enter a calibration factor value for an ANT+ foot?
If so, would it be possible to add another parameter with a distance to update the auto-calibration dynamically (every 100m every 1KM
)
Thank you at the Orux Team.
