Motorola Motoactv :: Planned Routes Don't Follow Roads On It?
Jun 28, 2012
The planned routes follow the roads when they are created in the planning screen. However, once they are transferred to the watch, they a straight lines that do not follow roads.
In the following image, I clicked the four reference points in the obvious order,going from street corner to street corner. That is a radically new way of following roads. Now, pray tell, how can something like this go beyond unit testing
I am trying to create a route to go for running, there are no streets just small paths in a park, so I need to know how can I create a route without having streets (maybe using the map in terrain mode?) I would like to see how can I use the device for trail running, and how to follow the trace on the Motoacv's screen. I have created a route using the webpage and then created a workout using that route, but I couldn't found a way to follow the route.
Motorola has not released Route Creation, so you can't create a Route to follow when you run or ride. Motorola please release products only when all the features work and are can be used!
i have a planned workout that shows up appropriately on the portal but does not sync to the motoactv despite many attempts. it says "no planned workouts are available. plan your workouts at [URL]."
when I create a Workout my Heart Rate Zones are incorrect. I'm using the Custom Zones and have them set as Active. I created a workout and downloaded it to my MotoActv, but when I started the workout, it did the intervals correctly however the Heart Rate Zones were way too high. i.e., it had my Zone2 starting at 200 which is higher than my max heart rate of 189 so it wasn't effective in telling me when I was in the right zones. However, when I quick start a workout, it uses my correct zones.
When will the option to transfer and see a planned route be available for the watch? A route already run can be transfered; a planned, custom route cannot.
Currently if I try to edit a route that I have saved, it erases all GPS coordinates except for the start/finish points. For example, if I want to add a description or change the name of the route, it erase all data and re-creates my map with a straight line from point a to point b.
This used to work, so not sure if something changed, but a few days ago I added a bunch of running workouts to the calendar on the Planning tab at Motoactv.com and after syncing the device several times, still no workouts show when I go to Running->Outdoor->Planned. This screen shows "No Planned Workouts Available. Plan your workouts on MOTOACTV.com" These are non-interval workouts that were added.
I planned a fit test yesterday, and a morning interval run today. I have completed both excercises. Both exercises have been logged in my 'recent workouts' tab. In fact, the portal has used the results of my fit test to set my HR zones.But, when I go to workouts on the MotoActv, I still see both excercises as not completed with a "!" next to them. Is there a way to reset this? Is there a workaround?
Under Planning > Routing, the description mentions "hit 'Search routes' and see where other members of the MOTOACTV community in your area like to go". I cannot see the Search Routes option, and using the search box under the My Routes tab does not bring back any results, even my own routes I have saved.
Is it possible to start an activity from the device that is saved in your workout library without it being planned? I workout when i can so i don't want to log in and plan the workout everytime i want to do something.I guess i could set all my saved workouts to weekly or something but i just wanted to know if there was just a list of your workout library instead.
Did a running fitness test this evening and it gave me the audio prompt that I'd completed it. Its showing on the portal as having been completed, but its still showing on the watch as planned even after I sync'd.
I have 2 different cases that I would like to se some kind of solution for:
- In my city, there are several "bugs" in the maps. Is there a way to get this corrected ? Several roads seems ok for drivetrough, but then you find them to be "walking only". Ovi maps told me to drive into such road, - but luckily I knew the area, and did know it was a dead end. Places like this I would like to share with other users, so the map itself would be more up to date and as correct as possible. But ; such issues I have found no way to feed the maps with. ( yea, I might share the cinema, and hospital, cafe's and som but the road and blocked roads, - nope. even nopt telling wich speedlimits the different roads has).
Is there a way to get the ovi maps to remember a input? (It asks over and over "connect to location server" y/n - while driving in areas with a lot of tunnels, and steep mountains (it looses the GPS signals). This is not only annoying, but it disturb while driving. If I consider to say yes, - ( or no for that matter) - it continues to ask everytime it looses the GPS signals. I have now turned it off, and will see if the nagscreen shows up all the time. If it could remember the FIRST answer - as long as it is running, - it would be okay. As it is now, - its really disturbing - here in Western Norway. (where the FJORDS are, and a lot of tunnels).
I will probably upgrade to a larger capacity SD card and I was wondering what steps I should follow. Nothing in the user guide apart from showing you how to pull out the card.
Can I just take out the card that comes with the phone and put in a new one?Are there some files on the card that comes with the phone that must be copied over?
My BlackBerry's screen is white , i do a battery pull ,it still stays white.Does that mean my BB got Nuked and that I should follow the steps to fix a nuke blackberry?
I've owned the MotoActv for two month, I got the mysterious "moisture issues" that everyone seems to be getting even though I've never used it in the rain. But the thing that is driving me nuts is the music. When I hit random shuffle of all my songs, I hear songs I don't want to hear... song that I do not own on my computer. Where are these songs coming from? Today I heard "Boot Scoot Boogie!" I abhore country music as does my wife. Doing a computer wide search shows no evidence that the song exists on my computer. Yet there it is playing in mile four. Other mystery songs have showed up too. The performance music playlist seems to be filled with songs I never heard of, yet evidently I perform well to them.
Let the developers know what new innovations you would like to see in Motoactive. Let them know what Apps, websites, hardware features that are out there that you love and would like to see incorporated into Motoactv.
After recent update of ovi maps on my mobile a strange problem occurs: when I choose one of my favourite destinations the following error appears: 'no route found'. I manually checked the map and found that huge parts of the route are really missing - mostly big parts of south of Bulgaria, including entire map of Plovdiv city, which is the second biggest city in the country.Missing routes on ovi maps
My favourite places and routes suddenly disappeared. I did not touch the phone since the last time they were there. Especially if you know if I can retrieve from some file the gps coordinates for the favourite places, if they still exists somewhere in the memory of the phone.
Why is it that when I'm creating a route in Maps, the outcome varies dependent on how I created the route, thus using the same route parameters?
I've created the same route using different ways of creating the route, and the created route is different every time. If I create the route in Maps using the search facility, the route is different if I use an address via the people and contacts interface. And again it is different when using Drive.
I made the discovery when a suggested route made a 16.2 km de-tour on a 11 km stretch. More than a 100%. I'm now wondering if I dare to use NOKIA maps for my summer trip to Italy from Denmark.
NOKIA - make a navigation app where I can define my own waypoints. This is essential in every navigation system. optimize the app, so I can choose an alternative route - this is basic in most modern navigation systems.

I noticed that in Elm's version of Tracker there's no longer an option to export routes in .gpx format. In fact, you can't export anything at all. On the C702 this option exists, among other useful features that has been removed in Elm's version. Is there a way to get hold of an earlier version of Tracker (C702) and install on the Elm?
