Recording a new route
Home view with track selection
Racing mode comparing progress with track average (green counter beside timer)
I'd love to hear what other bikers think of this project.
cool project.
the “cadence” cycling app does a really great job of this for any strava segments that you’ve starred and synced. instead of a map, it shows a cross section of the ride with your current position, best, and either last or average. it’s really fun racing yourself. at any time you can switch from the live segment race to any of the other data screens.
a lot of the complexity is probably in automatically figuring out which segments you’re possible running, given that GPS coordinates certainly don’t exactly match ever.
