Hey there!
Just want to make a quick teaser of upcoming v1.0.18 feature - Field notes.
You will able to make a notes just while you walking, hiking, running whatever… It could be, photo, recorded audio, plain text, and video in the future. Your followers could see the taken notes live, and later on replay page.
Here quick video demo with audio and picture on replay page:

so that’s all for now.

Today I continue teaser the 1.0.18 features, and tell about feature that I personally use really frequently!
Personally I’m used to planing workouts by visual cues and landmark.
Instead of running 400m high tempo 200m rest etc etc… I’m planing my workout like- warm-up from home to embankment around 10 min
- on embankment from start to the first crossroad - tempo run
- rest till the court,
- then tempo till the fish restaurant… etc… etc…
it’s pretty difficult to measure structured workout in exact timing… to real city world…
traffic lights… segment length couldn’t be clearly 400m you can run bit different way…So in Live.τ i can create x-line trigger checkpoints. It allows me trigger Lap (or send message on watch, or some zapier automation) in exact time when i crossing my visual cue and don’t care to tap lap manually, or trying to fit structured workout.
Here is how it works:
- set checkpoint on map and chose cross line type
- adjust the line by dragging ends, specify trigger direction
- seta an action what to do on crossing line - mark a new lap, send some message to your watch, or even trigger custom zapier/n8n/make automations
- when you cross the line, the app automatically triggers an action
there’s a really short video how to set x-lines

@Nikolai-Simonov hey Nikolai
had many Breaks today with Connection! Last Version and a second bug: i import a route ITS 44km but the live App only shows 23km and ends in top of the Mountains… Whats Up?

Hey @GiPFELKiND !
could you share .gpx of this route?

Thanx! I looked this track, found an issue.
TL;DR - it’s a bug in preproccesing tracks, to avoid it you should use gpx with route not a track that bypass preprocessing.
The root cause is here:
gpx format has a two tags for holding routes
<trk>and<rte><trk>- represents a saved by device route and usually contains timestamps on points, telemetry extensions etc…<rte>- represents planed route by some software.in live.τ we can use both of them, however for
<trk>we’re making some preprocessing to reduce amount of points on straight lines, collapse stops etc, it allows us save quite a lot of cpu and memory while navigating, but, you found a bug in this preprocessing, due to this route points in<trk>tag app thinking that it’s a recorded route and should be sanitized, but sanitizing faced up with issue in it’s logic trackpoint without timestamp and gap more than 100m - algorithm decides it looks like a malformed gnss data - no timestamp and speed probably more than 100m/s and cut it out.so in fix i’ll add euristic if point not contains timestamps probably it might be proceed like a route not a track…
but anyway i suggest use gpx followed standarts.
And thank you for bug report

@Nikolai-Simonov okay thank you! Thats the official route from UTMB Homepage from the Zugspitz Ultra Trail in 1 Week. The UTMB share this official route!
-
@GiPFELKiND yep, it could. it created via outdoor active as i see in the metadata. but frankly, not every software follows standards, so, neither good nor bad just a fact.
-
@Nikolai-Simonov what about the fact with the Break while run a Activity? I never had a complete track…suddenly the watch says Error… And did not track again. Yesterday 28km Trailrunning! Lost 3 times the Connection? End the Activity at suunto watch, start again…
-
What phone model? and what error?
also on lates android build, knowing issue if you app swiped out from activity list, you probably could lost connection, fixed but not released yet.
in general race for BTLE connection between suunto app and live.τ app still exist, but observation said that it’s not a big deal, and connection works in general well. personally i usually lost connection in some difficult areas near military objects, or radio polluted regions… not sure if it’s your case.
