HealthKit / Fitbit

Post by derdirk »

Hi,

im planning to use a iphone 5s (xgps 1600 + hitcase pro + chest harness) running laptimer gp-edition while driving a shifter kart. I read that heart rate via ios healthkit is now supported (for overlay i assume?) - which is a great feature, esp. considering the heart rate in a shifter :lol:

I use a fitbit "charge hr", which doesn't support healthkit. There is a sync app available though: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/power-s ... 44839?mt=8 (never used it). Thats a manual sync though - the question is: can i sync my heart rate to ios health and then generate the overlay video? Will laptimer pick it up while doing the overlay, or is a "real time" feed needed and the heart rate is part of the lap data?

Btw.: i can't find the kerpen-manheim kart track? Nothing available?

Cheers,
Dirk

LapTimer does not store health data at all. It accesses HK when it needs data. This is heart rate chart available in Data Recordings in v19 already, and the new heart rate gauge getting available in v20. So if you collect your data while driving, sync it with your app later, and access the chart or create he overlay afterwards, it should be fine. You can test this for v19 already.

Kerpen is indoor, isn't it? This does not allow using GPS at the accuracy necessary, sorry.

Great! I usually drive the big ones too (VLN / 24h), but shifter kart is the ultimate cardio - and Kerpen a blast :mrgreen:

Hi,
Kerpen (Erftlandring), counter clockwise, is now available for download.
Check it out via 'add-ons', update list with button top right corner and search e.g. for ‚Erftland‘.
Regards,
Monika
