I am thinking about building a SuuntoPlus app for MTB that shows some trail-specific metrics during a ride, for example:

climb / descent detection

vertical speed and gradient

downhill segments (duration, vertical drop, max speed)

maybe a simple trail score

An experimental idea would also be detecting jumps / airtime.

For that I would need access to motion data.
Does the SuuntoPlus Sports App API provide access to accelerometer (or gyro) data, or only to the standard workout metrics like speed, altitude, ascent/descent, etc.?

Here a first prototype in the simulator. For jumps I first need to move it over to watch, as I don’t get the data from the fit file. Trailscore is too fallback for fit file.

@Maurice-B.-Madoff Yes, i have something working now, though not quite release-ready. Will open a separate post about it.

Wouldn’t it be possible to create an app, that would support cycling radars? It could be just a fixed data screen with fields plus a display of approaching cars.

Wouldn’t it be po

Does not seem impossible, but in some other thread (i believe) i read that it’s not so easy for a SA+ app to draw attention (but it can beep i believe).

I’m going to look into Garmin speed and cadence sensor first, but that would get me up to speed with BLE device interaction.

That should make Suunto work natively. It’s sad, that such basic things doesn’t work.

Can we just get a weather app that looks just like the one we have now, but scoll up one more time for 5 day forecast info…

After testing a while on a watch has to say that quite difficult to get apps stable state. Seems to crash easily if you have JavaScript in t.html. Of course I could simplify but where is all the fun then… and my apps are quite simple anyway…
