Add support for segments

[NiklasMM]

I'd love to see segments in FitTrackee. A Segment is a GPS path (e.g. a specific street or a climb up to a hill) that users can define and collect and analyze efforts on.

Features could include:

• Possibility to define and name segments
  • by selecting a section of a previously recorded workout
  • freely on a map
• At import time FitTrackee automatically detects if the new workout contains an effort on any segment and registers it if so
• View a segment and all efforts done so far

Would that be of interest to others? I'd be willing to put in some work

Hi,

FitTrackee already supports segments (<trkseg>) in gpx file.

For instance, for this workout two segments are present in the gpx file:

Each segment can be displayed:

Do you mean another kind of segment?
Or ability to override existing segments or defining segments if the gpx file has no segments?

I don't mean segments as subdivisions of gpx tracks. I see that it may be a confusing name, but that's what Strava calls them.

I'll try again to explain what I mean: A segment is a piece of road or trail which users can define and which exists outside of activities. Whenever an activity uses a segment a new effort for that segment is logged and users can compare their efforts and view personal bests etc.

Here's a screenshot from Strava showing a segment. You can see, it has a name elevation profile and leaderboard. On a different screen I can see all my efforts and compare them to each other.

Hi,

Thanks for the clarifications.

This feature may be of interest to others (like leaderboards on total distance). However, this requires the first part of the social features to be completed (currently users can only see their workouts) and the file processing to be rewritten (to change gpx file storage).
