You can add note for the track in the menu in a map view but currently you can see that note only in the HeiaHeia website.
I have to fix it so that the note can be seen also in the activity log view and it could be added to the filename also...

These are for gpx files that have multiple tracks on the same file.
I dont know but now as graphs are below the stats maybe it would be possible to implement swipe gesture to switch to next or previous activity :)

Is it possible to try to automatical reconnect if the Bluetooth signal is lost? Or is this out of scope from eCoach and a Maemo Bluetooth Stack Problem?

I think this is beyond eCoach to solve :)

Just one small question, how can I set the default activity to cycling? I set it each time I use eCoach, but its always returned to Running.

Cheers

One thing that came to my mind is that are you trying to upload some old activities, recorded with older versions of eCoach? That doesnt work because from those files eCoach doesnt know which type of a sport it was and HeiaHeia requires that info.

Yes, this must be it, because new workouts work perfectly well. Good to know! Old workouts can probably be edited in a text editor to include the sport type, if seeing one's entire workout history seems necessary.

Props for the new version too, it's good that it gives a proper error message if something goes wrong with the upload.

HeiaHeia didn't impress me right away; at the moment it seems to lack many features that are present in Nokia Sports Tracker. Actually, it hardly has any features at all, just the workout upload and a very simple and limited way of looking at the workouts. On the other hand, uploading to HH is now much more convenient, so I guess I'll just wait and hope they develop the service further. It's still in beta after all. :)

Why not! But if there are going to be dozens to choose from, please make it configurable what are displayed by default. Doesn't sound like fun to always select from a list of 130 if I'm only eg. 5 apply to my hobbies. :)

I have been using eCoach for about a month and I have to say it is excellent!
I have only a question, why not adding a calorie counter? If we enter age, gender and weight, and considering activity and speed (even inclination if you please) it shouldn't be so hard.
What do you say? Will it be supported?
Thanks for an excellent app!!!
Cheers

I mentioned earlier how it'd be great if the user could delete incorrect GPS readings from the workout map.

I wanted to see what would happen if I just deleted incorrect readings manually from the .gpx file, using a text editor. Turned out, eCoach doesn't mind at all. It calculates the correct route like nothing happened. Cool! :)

On the left is the original workout, where the software, due to some bad GPS readings, thought I had taken a detour through some buildings at a leisurely pace of 41km/h. On the right is the same workout when I deleted a couple of bad entries from the .gpx file.

Of course locating and editing the bad readings using a text editor isn't very handy. But what if I could just click on the corrupt point on the eCoach map, and select delete?

This would be a bit difficult to edit because there are usually so many gps route points, but maybe if user first zooms very close...

HeiaHeia will have a support for the map, we just dont know yet on when they get it ready and when i have time to implement gpx file uploading.

Now that PR1.2 and Qt mobility API is out, I will soon release the first version of Qt eCoach. Currently i have GPX writing and map stuff ready but no analyze view yet.

With Qt all this upload stuff is so much easier to implement than to hack more features in the current GTK version.

Btw. What would be good name for the Qt eCoach? qCoach eCoachQt, CuteCoach, QtCoach or what? :)
