Hey all, any suggestions;
I have searched all day for a GPS speedo app that shows:
Speed in MPH
Distance in FEET
Thats it.
It would be an awsome addition if it also had a simple altitude or incline or slope or grade percentage, or even a graph, just to see if elevation is going up or down.
The foot counter needs to be resetable.
I can not for the life of me understand why i cant find anything remotely close. .. ..
Thanks ! Suggestions welcome

Ok, so i have a tracking program i made for my phone in C#, basically it uses my GPS gets coords stores in db then uploads then to a server which tracks me on gmaps.... now we have little icons for a car or a person walking... but no way to tell the difference, so my idea was to use the Accelerometer to tell if i was walking or driving, but i have no idea where to begin or if this is even possible? ideas?
I don't know about the accelerometer but you may just want to put a speed cap on the "icons"
ex if your tracked speed is less than 10 miles an hour your icon would be a person, if higher than 10 your icon would be a car (maybe specify a time so that every time you stop at a light your icon continues as a car)
Hi,
Annoyingly my S2 classic thinks I'm riding a bicycle whenever I'm riding my motorcycle? Which is annoying because S-health then reckons I've burnt loads of calories. I'm just wondering why this is as surely if it works on speed it should figure that I'm actually in/on a motorized vehicle especially from like 40 mph upwards? My only other explanation is that it uses the gyroscope and/or accelerometer to figure out that I'm holding on to handle bars?
Also is there anyway to change this so I can tell S-health that I wasn't riding a bicycle?
I have the same problem. Is there even a way to delete the data?
Does anyone else have issues with the GPS accuracy? When looking at the map on activities, it seems pretty close. The total distance it records is way off. Over 25%. At the third lap around the track it's saying I hit a mile... If I look at the map, it shows me on the track for each lap. Don't get it. Any recommendations?
Same issue here. I'm constantly seeing 33%-40% less total distance when running short laps (~400m). Have returned my watch.
I used my watch >10x without any issue.
To all who believe having problems or concerns, please keep in mind the gps accuracy is limited by its technology. Every device calculates, averages and interpolates a bit different. And even after a gps fix it may need some time ...seconds,minutes... to find more satellites until max accuracy has been reached.
In general i would not expect a very precise value at short distances like 400m ...
the problem nice spoken / beautifully spoken
without any solution
It seems to me that, because of a low GPS refresh rate, it goes wrong when you make a turn. Instead of recording a distance of A+B, it records sqrt(A^2+B^2). Makes me feel less good about myself after running
At least, this happens when I let Google Fit record my running session. It might be that GPS refresh rates are determined by hardware, in which case using another application will not improve this. If it is determined by software, other running applications may work better. Anyone any experience?
does anybody know how to calibrate the altimeter on the watch 2? it does work very precise tracking how many meters you ascent or descent while out and about, but knowing your excact altitude depends on barometric presure which is variable and needs calibrating. there is one standard watch face included called 'outside' on the watch which shows pressure and current altitude, but i cant seem to find a way to calibrate the altimeter. anybody any ideas?

Did you ever find a way? I'm at sea level and it tells me I'm -21m

It's not that simple, and it's probably nothing that should be calibrated too. Giving you the altitude, based only on the barometic pressure (which is the sensor that the watch has), it's impossible. You need the local temperature too. Since the watch doesn't have a temp sensor, it relies on the temperature received from the internet to calculate the altitude. So, if the temperature is not accurate enough, it wil show you incorrect altitude "readings".
you can calibrate it by tapping the weather icon on Outdoor watch face ( see https://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/faqs/detail/?id=154328&name=HUAWEI WATCH 2 ) .It has nothing (or very little) to do with temperature. Altitude can be directly estimated from pressure, the problem is that air pressure varies over time (cyclone, anticyclone...).
More to the point is how to calibrate the barometer. It reads way too low (by 9mb/hPa).
Fitness tracking apps the past few weeks (Endomondo, Strava) have really poor GPS tracking - the track jumps around and is very jagged. The fitness apps are not running in low power mode of any sort. This occurred before and after the Android P update, and a full system wipe after upgrade to Android P did not fix it.
When looking at GPS Status & Toolbox, GPS lock only takes ~2 seconds but accuracy never goes lower than 9m. It is seeing ~25 satellites and fixing on 20. Resetting cached GPS data does not improve it.
Side by side with an S9+, the S9+ consistently gets 3-4m accuracy. Any idea what other steps I can take to improve accuracy? It hasn't always been this way, and I haven't changed anything like the case that might impact reception.
