TrackRadar

Xamarin/C# app for Android which helps you in your bicycle trips. It lets you load GPX track and then it plays audio whenever you are off-track or you lost GPS signal.

Credits

Single sonar ping sound is extracted from the file: http://www.zedge.net/ringtone/1419653/ KDE_Error audio file is converted from KDE3 sounds. Guitar ringtone file is amplified version from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gms9qEWnqrM Arpeggio sound is shortened version from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKfy48_WWls Bell sound extracted from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtgXxZcEA90

Building

Please use Visual Studio 2017 or compatible tool. You need GPX library: https://github.com/macias/Gpx

Branches

"master" should be a stable version and uses Android name TrackRadar, while "develop" is unstable and its Android name is DevRadar (thus it is possible to install both versions).

Rationale

I need moderately priced, e-ink, around 5" device with GPS and ability to run custom apps. The problem is it does not exist, there are some options like:

  • Yotaphone -- too expensive (as for 2020, dead end),

  • HiSense A5 -- AFAIK no compass,

  • dedicated bicycle GPS -- nano screens,

  • DIY hybrids -- e-reader with wifi getting GPS data from smartphone.

All of them means paying extra cash for far from perfect solution. Until the dream device comes true I decided to re-use what I have -- Android Gingerbread smartphone -- and since it is completely unreadable in the sun I opted for audible feedback.
