Live location S+ app

Nikolai Simonov

Happy Sunday everyone!

Here’s a little developer diary update:
I’m currently working on track loading and display on the built-in map. You’ll be able to upload tracks from GPX/KML files.

Once a workout starts, the current track will be drawn on the map, and the app will show deviation from the preloaded route, projecting your position onto it.

In the future, this feature will also include:

Alerts when significantly off-route,
Customizable checkpoints and geofences with notifications if you don’t reach them in time,
And many other improvements!

Here’s a short preview of the new feature in action:

@Nikolai-Simonov I have a question. If we turn on the Live T function with the watch only, without carrying a mobile phone, will it work?

Egika

@SODIUM no

@Egika OK thank you.

Great work @Nikolai-Simonov

This reduces the need of opening Komoot when get lost while navigating along a route quite a lot.
I can simply have a look at the map in your app and don’t need to waste battery for geolocation on the phone.
I often ended up on 2 or 3-way forks not nowing wich one to choose on the 9PP cause there are no maps.

Used yesterday for the first time to test it out! What a great app! Thank you so much!

I wanted to confirm - on my phone - I would only see the current location? Is that correct? The link sent to the contact shows the route when I checked what my wife was able to see?

@larrybbaker Thanx for kind feedback!

Yes the in-app route display is currently available only in the TestFlight beta version. but not in the regular one.

@Nikolai-Simonov I’d be happy to be a beta tester if you need more
