Hello,

I just want to report a misspelling in the Tracks/Routes settings:
under "Use Average speed", "spped" instead of "speed".

S.

I am going to add a vertical speed in the dashboard in next version. I am going to use last 10 minutes ascent/decent value for calculating current vertical speed.



I suppose you are talking about adding that control to the trip computer view?

Hi Orux,



that's really good, adding the vertical speed would be great!



Since I walk for several hours, I usually keep the screen of my smartphone off to save the battery, checking Oruxmaps rarely, only when I'm not sure to be on the right path. I wear a watch with a barometric altimeter (Suunto) that show me the instantaneous vertical speed in meters per minute. So, apart from the trip computer view, I would like to plot the vertical speed in the track graphics, as I can do for the altitude, slope and speed. It would be also great to see the vertical speed along a track, colour-coded in the map overlay as for the slope (LOVE that!)

Hello,



first of all, many thanks for developing and maintaining Oruxmpas, one of the best apps for Android!



I'm an hiker, and would ask/suggest to add the capability to show the scent/descent speed (m/h) to both track graphics and overlay.

The existing "slope" parameter indicates the steepness of a path, but it says nothing about the performance of an hiker.

While walking on the Alp paths, I'm usually interested on my ascent speed (and descent too) since these is a direct measure of my upward (downward) walking performance.

Since I know my mean upward speed is about 500-600 m/h, I can guess to make a 1000m ascent in about 2 hours.

It would be really nice to see that info on both track graphics and map overlay, in addition to the "slope".



my best,

Stefano
