User guide

Before Ski Tracks was developed, we spent a lot of time in the mountains trying to see

how users access their phones and what they wanted. Ski Tracks is the result of this

analysis.

However, before we developed this application we asked many Skiers and Snowboarders

what they really wanted from an application and this is what we were told.

1. Easy to Read Live Ski Statistics - Particularly speed and distance.

2. Long Battery Life - and please no dead phone at the end of the day.

3. Photographs - to be added to the track.

4. Export photographs and track to Google Earth™ (Coming soon)

With the success of the application on the iOS platform and the sheer number of request

for an Android version, we decided that it would be a step in the right direction to bring it

over to Android.

Easy To Read Live Ski Statistics

One of our main aims was to provide a simple to read set of Ski Statistics that would show

the current ski day unfold.

Also you’ll notice the Proﬁle Graph included in the display. This gives you a graphical

representation of your elevation over your distance.

Long Battery Life

After many attempts on the iPhone at enabling track recording for long durations, the

current solution on we have on Android gives you the best chance to track your entire day

without your phone running out of juice. Many variables can affect your speciﬁc battery life

but our tracking solution has been optimised to last you all day.

Take Photographs on Route

You may take photos at anytime. When you take a photograph it is automatically added to

the main photo’s view.

Photo’s can be added to your devices Photo Gallery, emailed or deleted.
