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...

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...

• 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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: -...

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...

Based on the experience I’ve had with the Stark app it’s gone. At times it feels like the app pushes or downloads some of the data from Stark servers, but that’s just how the app feels based on its behavior, not hard evidence. Even then it’s not guaranteed Stark didn’t delete it from their...

Thanks! Waze doesn’t support Picture in Picture unfortunately. Google Maps is the only alternative I’ve found so far. To get Google Maps to trigger PiP you need to start navigation and then exit the app using the Android home button (the circle) before the Stark app takes over. I’ll post a...

ah! I see whats happening. Right now I've been building it around one continuous track per gpx file (like the one you get from stark app history). Your gpx is a perfect example of the direction I've been thinking about - a “ski map” with multiple routes in one file. I'll build it out in the next...

If you try to use GPS navigation apps on the Stark VARG, the map disappears as soon as the dashboard screen takes over. This makes it near impossible (or at least tedious) to use GPS navigation apps other than the Stark official PRO subscription that gives access to Trail, Navigation, Tracks...
