Harry's GPS Suite Forum

This makes me a sad panda

10hz GPS > ALL

It's been a bit disappointing that Bad Elf have taken so long with this. I'll soon be looking for a bluetooth GPS to JB/BTStack.

Hi,

Yes, agreed. It seems I do not get this accelerated. Asked several times for an update but didn't receive a reply lately.

Just a quick update. We're talking with Harald and he will be testing his app with the Bad Elf GPS soon. His app might be the first to take advantage of our 5-10Hz reporting mode via the accessory APIs...

Found here: http://feedback.bad-elf.com/forums/7690 ... -your-gps-

Maybe we should post some more feedback on their site

Yeah, but that was from last year.

Extra posting on their site might get them to start working though. Even a 'we're busy, we expect to be able to do it by.....' would be good.

Harry, well done on being such a supportive app developer.

Looks like it helped:

Our sincere apologies for the delay - we've started work on a 2nd product that will also be very useful for race timing, and we're making sure both support the same API. This way apps like Harry's Lap Timer will work with both accessories out of the box. We'll get the necessary information to Harold and others ASAP!

Any word on Bad elf's API???

Apparently they're working on a second product that will incorporate the same API's. Although they haven't given any indication what the second product is....

Maybe this is a hint?

Right now the only option is to use the Bad Elf GPS dongle with a 30-pin dock extender cable, but that’s a bit of a hack. I’ve passed along your feature request to the rest of the team.

But maybe not.

Well whatever 'team' he's referring to obviously need to pull their finger out. It's unprofessional to promise something and resort to excuses like this to cover your arse. How they need
To wait til a second product is released to be able to send the API's to developers seems absurd. I
Recommend that anybody considering their product not listen to their claims and run with known products.
