Display _Current Speed_.

[chris_debian]

This is a request to have the option to display the application user's _Current Speed_.

Suggest it would be optional to display this and not obligatory.

Pushed-back. Needs re-assessing in line with other issues after 0.9 release.

Added in error. Please ignore.

Guys, is anyone able to spare any time to have a look at how we could move this forward? If not, we may have to consider pushing the release target back.

Cheers,

Chris.

Current speed is one of the statistics i 'm working to show as part of the issue #74.

Droidguy,

Thanks for your reply. I thought this may be the case, but didn't want to close this Issue in-case we forgot about the functionality.

Cheers,

Chris.

The trip statistics view done for #74 includes the instantaneous speed from the GPS. Is this the best as the _current_ speed, or should we weight it or compare against a speed calculated from the last pair of location points or last couple pairs? What do you think?

I think GPS's instantaneous speed will be more accurate.

[Kieran Fleming (kieran-fleming)]

I think what'll be best is whatever Android reports when you run getSpeed().

[chris_debian (cjhandrew)]

If the work is progressing well with issue 74 and this requirement is being captured, are we in a position to be able to close this?

Happy to keep it open if we still need it as a 'placeholder'.

Chris.

Chris,
Yes, it's fine to close this one. The #74 is almost done and it includes this one.

Many thanks.
