    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    Pushed a new update (v0.5.104) features: • multiple GPX files - all routes on one map • breadcrumbs - see where you’ve been and backtrack if needed and bunch of smaller improvements • filtering GPS spikes / jitter for nice and clean breadcrumbs • loaded routes persist after restart, etc •...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    Thanks for the shout out here! The feature came from the discussion with you 🙇‍♂️ Full release notes for v0.5.77 “As the crow flies” navigation. Long press to drop a point and see the straight line and live distance to it. Perfect for measuring distance, heading for a ridge or trail junction...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    @Jgottsch @madkuku thank you for helping me to think this through. buddies is a cool feature but looks like its not something to build right now. @OpaTsupa this is a good idea! I've been thinking about an extended version of this. if you miss a turn or go off track to explore I want to add a...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    Thanks! This is great feedback The main reason I'm indecisive about buddies is that it will require backend server, user accounts, etc which means ongoing cost and a subscription model (something that I've been looking to avoid). Before going down that route I want to make sure it solves a...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    appreciate it! both are good ideas and I’ve spent some time thinking about Buddies Its fairly straightforward to build for Stark riders, but in real life groups are mixed across devices and platforms, which makes it complicated. How do you use it right now? Is it for keeping everyone on the map...

    New App update and subscription option

    The v3.0.x seems to be a major update. Hope it works well with the hardware and solves the constant connection issues once and for all. If you care about the Trail Map in PRO subscription I have been building a better alternative headnorthgps.com On top of the features Stark Trail map has it...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    • waypoints / points of interest - new for people on public release who did not have them before the update (test version had them for ~2 weeks) • switching between routes - with multi route gpx you no longer follow a single route (no single plan). depending on how the gpx is set up you can get...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    The “ski map” multi-route update is now live. If it hasn’t updated yet, get it from 👉 Play Store I’ve done ~200km with it. Seeing all routes at once makes it much easier to avoid missed turns and pick lines, even on tracks you know. Besides multi-route, the update adds basic waypoint support...

    Lowered pegs

    Looks like I’m a good example of how placebo works but the Hardline-X ones did feel better when I switched. Now I’m too used to them to notice a difference. Thinking back it might have been because I broke the original and rode two weeks with half a peg. The originals seem brittle but then again...

    VARG EX APP

    RaceChrono would need to add PiP support to their app and a few buttons to manage the Stark lock (each app controls it separately). If enough people are interested I’ll consider adding it to headnorthgps.com once I’m done with the Trail features. A basic lap timer looks straightforward, but...

    VARG EX APP

    As the workarounds have their limitations I created a small app optimised for Stark VARG. It lets you open the trail in a Picture-in-Picture window and keep it on top of the Stark dashboard. Once the Stark speedometer has locked Android navigation you can also open the app full screen for...

    Arkenstone miles tracking is crap

    Interesting. I do sometimes see negative distance (reverse counter) but havent seen the miles resetting. If this turns out to be a real issue and more people run into it I might add ride recording to headnorthgps.com

    Lowered pegs

    I’m using these Hardline-X - Stark Varg EVO-3 enduro footpegs. Ordered through MX Guards Should be 4mm lower, 10mm back or something like that. For me it felt like it made the bike more stable on technical uphills. I’ve done about 70h on them and seem to hold up well.

    Is there a way to retieve historical rides that was deleted by mistake?

    interesting. I need to take a detailed look at the tracks it records. I havent tested in a competition setting but otherwise it has been good enough. I mostly use it to record the rides and the ones I want to keep I move to gpx.studio for editing. the main stark app gps issues I’ve seen: -...

    Solved GPS navigation disappearing when the Stark VARG dashboard takes over

    Quick preview of the next update. Working on a “ski map” view for GPX files with multiple routes (color coded, intersections, points of interest). The example in the screenshot has 242 trails and seems to work well. I'll release it once I've done a few rides and made sure there are no obvious...
