Read full description

This application can be used with TranzX E-Bikes only. TranzX E-Bikes support Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, which allows this app - specially developed for the system - to communicate with the bike and its display. Performance data from the drive system can therefore be combined with the intelligent processing system of the smartphone. This enables a considerably more accurate calculation and display of the remaining range and other values. The shared information can be shown on both displays. When the two devices are paired, the E-Bike display will move into an advanced presentation mode, so that it can show additional functions. The smartphone can then either be mounted on the handlebars as well, to supplement the E-Bike display with an extended functionality, or be kept in your pocket. One of the most important additional functions is navigation, which is provided via the smartphone app. Routes are calculated depending on the range still available and the resulting support mode, then step-by-step direction instructions with distance information will be shown on the E-Bike display. Main Features: - Online via the smartphone data connection, or offline, primarily via OpenStreetMaps - Routing and navigation with optional altitude profile - GPX Track Management: save, import, and share routes - Point-Of-Interest (POI) search and directions

Read full description

TripLogger is a GPS logging and navigation app which records locations both locally on the device and optionally to a remote server, such as the open-source TripServer [1] remote logging server. GPX [2] files containing waypoints, planned routes and previous tracks can be imported and displayed on the map using Apple's MapKit for SwiftUI API. Routes and waypoints can also be created interactively on the map. [1]: https://www.fdsd.co.uk/trip-server-2/ [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format The map is updated in real time using the locally logged locations such that you can see where you have been and where you want to go based on the currently selected route. The map can also be used on the Apple Watch. TripLogger is now also available for macOS systems using MacCatalyst support. Please note that the maps are not available offline within the app, other than those parts that the Apple MapKit API has cached, even if you have saved offline maps within Apple's Maps app. The route, track and waypoints are still visible, but with missing or no map detail in the background. You can of course still use Apple Maps offline features in that situation, perhaps switching between the two. However, always carry traditional paper maps and a compass! Different time and distance intervals can be applied to remote and local logging. For remote logging you will need to setup and host the remote web server yourself or use a third-party hosting service. The app can be used without a remote logging service. The app is designed to provide configuration options which can be used to minimize battery usage. For example, if logging infrequently, the app can be configured to use locations based on Wi-Fi and the mobile phone network, then once a new location is received the GPS is switched on until a sufficiently accurate location is established. The GPS is then switched off again until the next time a new location is reported. Although the app is configurable to minimize battery usage, nonetheless, using location background mode may dramatically decrease battery life. The main page of the app displays a summary of its current status together with counters showing how many locations have been saved locally or transmitted to the remote host, including how many of those have succeeded or failed. When an active route has been selected the app shows the remaining distance and if the route contains elevation (altitude) data, it provides an estimate of the time remaining based on configurable values. An activity log reports key events such as the time and location of each position reported to the remote server. Tapping on the location opens and displays it in the Maps app. Locations that have been saved to the local database can be exported in the GPX file format. A paired Apple Watch can be used for either stand-alone logging directly on the Apple Watch or as remote control functionality to the app running on the iPhone, allowing you to monitor and control the application's logging features without needing to take your phone out of your pocket or bag. Depending on the the Apple Watch model, you may still need the iPhone to provide the Apple Watch with Internet access. The iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch can be used to create a note and include it with the next established location sent to the remote host. This is only relevant to remote logging. Notifications can be enabled to advise when the iPhone or iPad battery level is lower or higher than configurable values whilst discharging or charging respectively. Battery level notifications are only sent whilst remote logging is enabled and running on the iPhone or iPad. The app is free, without ads and is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and macOS.
