About Ski Buddy Plus
Ski Buddy is not your typical "ski tracker" app that gives your ski statistics at the end of the day, after the fact. Instead, Ski Buddy gives your ski statistics in real time as you ski by speaking over your earphones. Your speed, altitude, distance traveled, and time of day are spoken at user selected intervals. In addition, a unique "ski mode" gives statistics for each run as it is completed. When you get off the lift at the top and start skiing down, you will hear "Starting new run". Ski Buddy will record your top speed, average speed, distance, vertical, and duration as you ski down the run. When you get on the lift at the bottom and start back up, a run report will automatically be spoken. Run reports can also be sent to your Android Wear watch. When you get off the lift at the top again and start back down, the process will repeat. Run statistics are saved as is the track for the run. At any time, you can review the statistics for your runs as well as view the track of the run on a map.
Ski Buddy is truly a new kind of ski app that gives your ski statistics in real time as you ski.
Plus Features:
- Expanded reporting in Ski Mode. Top speed, average speed, vertical drop, distance traveled and duration are reported for each run. Both spoken reports and notifications to Android Wear include these statistics.
- A Ski Statistics display provides viewing of cumulative values for duration, distance and vertical, and overall top speed and average speed across all runs. In addition this display allows viewing of the stats for each individual run.
- Runs can be viewed on Google Maps which shows ski lifts and runs for many resorts. Markers show the locations of the run start, top speed, and finish. Pan and zoom are supported, as are normal, satellite, hybrid, and terrain views.
- Screen colors can be customized to your liking.
- Option to Suppress Repeats. When this option is set, speed and altitude values will not be spoken if they are the same as the previously spoken value.
- Application audio is automatically muted during incoming phone calls.
- If music is playing, it will be paused while the app speaks.
- Option to calculate altitude from barometric pressure instead of GPS.
