For older young men, that are a few grams too heavy (like me;) ) it would be great to have a calories counter. I even think it would stimulate many people to sport. A calory counter gives an instant reward for the blood, sweat and tears.

It's a great app. I use it several times a weak. Hope you'll include a calorymeter someday.

Thank you.

The correct unit for energy is Joules.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule
So I hope the correct SI-unit for energy is then supported if there will be a step counter.

For example the Pedometer Widget supports only calories. btw, co-operation with Pedometer author would be a UNIX way (one small tool for one job). Having dbus IPC to start, pause, stop and retrieve information from the Pedometer would save work and device memory. Also, I think the pedometer algorithms are not so simple, so having someone concentrare on that issue and not doing multiple times separate work would be beneficial.

(OT: Same co-operation idea would work in FM-radio, recording and Recaller program.)

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.

Could you change map cache location on the Qt version to use same as Mappero (aka. maemo-mapper) and current version of Maep (/home/user/MyDocs/.maps)? I have same maps in two different place (earlier in three) and I would like to use that space for some other stuff. Thanks.

I would also like to see support for maps from NLS (maanmittauslaitos) in the eCoach. They have great topo maps from all of the Finland for N800/N810 users of maemo-mapper and those maps can also be used in N900 Mappero.

Good idea to get co-operation with different map-applications to have same place (and format) in a device to cache and store offline maps!

With NLS maps, i think i cant put url for that repository as a part of eCoach. At least with Maemo4 you first had to accept some agreement before installing and that plugin was closed source.
Put of course i could let users to add it manually.. :)

Firstly I love tha app, use it often, however have one probles, after I have saved a route and view it through calendar and/or ecoach the 'duration' time is always way off, about twice what it should be, despite the start and end time being correct, any ideas?

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

If you would ask me I would prefer QtCoach. :rolleyes:

And please, don't forget a "car driving" profile when you're adding more. :)

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...

Oh, it would be great to implement this. I often try to use eCoach with a bluetooth gps Mouse to track as accurate as possible my track when I went shopping with my girlfriend. (I need this data in some shopping releated discussions :D)
But the tracks are often totally useless because of the bad gps signal inside of buildings. And mostly this are only a few points several 100meters away from the last point.
And tracking data on a map with a total of 50km in 6 hours and a topspeed of 62km/h during shopping is unreliable in the most cases... :rolleyes:

Why not simply set a maximum possible speed by profile and filter all totally impossilbe points automatically from the log?

We don't need to delete it in the file. Just implement it in your loading routine and keep the data as they are. So we can still play with the filter settings or show up the original data without filtering. :rolleyes:

Train, aeroplane, helicopter, wind surfing, boat, ...
Maybe at least "Other". Now I am using "running" for all misc. stuff.

IMO it is useless to mention Qt in every program's name where Qt is used. It should be irrelevant for the user what libraries has been used.
