Hello Tic people!

I am developing a fitness run tracker that needs live GPS location from the ticwatch (http://forum.ticwear.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=155). However, live GPS is BLOCKED from third party access and their API that only gets last known location simpily won't do the job. I have contacted Mobvoi many times and submitted a demo app that gets gps and writes to a .gpx file. Each time I get the same answer of not allowing GPS access due to more battery usage by the GPS. Allowing GPS access will open up more app ideas, not only for fitness tracking, but maps and games too!

Please sign this petition if you are interested in the app and want live GPS access. Thank you in advanced!

Some features of the app I would like to develop are:

  • HR and HR zones
  • Intervals
  • Laps
  • Sync (runkeeper, strava,...)
  • Graph view and summary of activity
  • pace
  • speed
  • distance
  • Other sports (cycling,...)
  • etc.

*This app will be on github for everyone to contribute!
