Under review / Improved Pitch and Roll Display
June 20, 2011, 13:12:34
Hi menion,

The pitch and roll display currently range from 0 to 360 degrees, so that, for example, 15deg roll to the left is displayed as 15deg; whereas 15deg roll to the right is displayed as 345deg.

It would be nice to have an option to change the display to +/-180deg, so that 15deg roll to the right would be shown as -15deg, which is easier to 'understand', because the number is similar to that for the same amount of roll to the left - just different sign.  The same holds for pitch.

Also, for mounting the phone in a car cradle (where it may be at 'strange' angles for easy viewing), it would be nice to be able to specify offsets to set 0deg roll and 0deg pitch when the vehicle is level.
Ideally, there would be a 'Set to Zero' button between the pitch and roll display.  The user would short-click this button when the vehicle is level and roll and pitch would be set to 0.  On long-click, there could be a pop-up menu with fields to manually enter offsets for roll and pitch and with a 'Reset' button to restore the offsets to default (0).

Thanks

Firstly, great app - I happily paid for the license.

When the hardware comapss is disbaled, the compass display is 'driven' by the GPS, which is good.

However, when enabling the compass and enabling 'Auto Change', the compass display is correctly driven by the hardware compass at speeds below 1m/s; but it freezes at 0 deg azimuth above 1m/s.  I would have expected that the compass would then be driven by the GPS, as is the case for a disabled hardware compass.  
Are you planning to implement this?

Thanks.
