Motorola Motoactv :: Can't Create A Route To Follow When Run Or Ride?
Nov 7, 2011
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 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.
I would like to report a bug with regards to saving/making a route public.I go into Planning, then Routing, and I have several routes saved from previous workouts. As per below, I click on the "Public Route" check box, and then Save. I just get booted to a generic screen/map with the "Create New Route" button.Regardless of whether I click on save or not, if I reselect the route on the left, then it the "Public Route" check box is cleared again.In addition on the screenshot below, why does it say "2525 Hemlock St, Vancouver, BC V6H, Canada | 0.06 km". This route was clearly 25k. Strange/weird thing also is if i click on "Edit Route", (Hey anthing's worth a try....) and then Save, it actually turns my route (ie destroys my route) into .06 km. This is exactly what happened to the bottom route on the left list; it used to be 25k until I 'saved' it. Oh well, at least I can go into my recent workouts and resave the route and try again!
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.
Ever since I upgraded the software on my MotoActv I am no longer able to view route information for new workouts on my phone. Every time I try to view the routes, I get the message "Route information is not available for this workout." I know that the route information is syncing properly to MotoActv.com, because I can view it there. I just can't view it on my phone. The one workout that I completed prior to the software upgrade shows route information just fine on my phone.I have a MotoActv 8GB and it is currently running MA 1.6.13 N8. Strangely enough, the website lists the latest software as being MA 1.6.6 N8, so how did I get something newer and could this be part of the problem?
I just completed a run and the first part (1 mile or so) is completely off. The blue line marks where I actually ran!! I haven't had any problems like this before.
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.
Just completed a run this morning and went to see the data. The route map does not appear at all. I went back to previous workouts and the maps are all not appearing.
I have tried several times to save a route that I create in the Planning module. Each time I get a box that says, "Something went wrong. Unable to save the route"
I did a Bike "workout" 6 weeks ago and after syncing, it had the route information on the MotoActv App. However, my latest two workouts show "Route Information Is Not Available for this Workout". I'm pretty sure I can see the routes on the website, but it's not loading any of my workouts at the moment. It would also be awesome if you could sync the golf "workouts" and show them on the MotoActv App as well; I imagine that has been in the works though.
Very innacurate readings. See below comparing MOTOACTV with my GARMIN 705and I know the garmin distance to be correct since I know the roads pretty well, and I created the routes using google mapsI expect some type of difference between GPS devices, for example my iphone using wahoo does not always agree witht he garmin, but the difference is less than 1%... with the MOTOACTV the difference is about 10%MOTOACTV (34 mi): https://motoactv.com/workout/show?orkoutActivityId=4QaHxB2cQMeiehkKHkX0MQ%3D%3D&activity=4GARMIN (30 mi): http://connect.garmin.com/activity/167586976MOTOACTV (44mi): https://motoactv.com/workout/showworkoutActivityId=26QvMGqURk6rA1hMEb4w1w%3D%3D&activity=4GARMIN (40 mi): http://connect.garmin.com/activity/167587461MOTOACTV (48mi): https://motoactv.com/workout/showworkoutActivityId=QxSBZlK%2FTr6vP9JT%2BAaNRA%3D%3D&activity=4
I searched a bit and couldn't find anything but i'm trying to set a route under "Planning" and when i click "Save" i get the error "Something Went Wrong. Unable to save route."
Motoactv website seems to be showing all the information about the run (distance, time, pace) correctly. However the map is totally wrong. It only shows about the last mile of my run. Anyone know if there is any way to show that data?
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 have previously used Garmin Connect for uploading & sharing my routes & data. The data & map could be printed, or saved as a 2 page PDF. However, when I print from this site I get 7 pages of mostly useless generic stuff- such as scheduled workouts, etc. The details I'm looking for don't start until page 6! Is there currently a way to efficiently print, save, or share the detailed report of a specific workout, distance, pace, route map, elevation, heart rate, calories burned & music?
I have a motoactv. The installation was ok. Everything was going fine, until I tryed to create my MOTOCAST ID. I am connected to the internet, but I always get this kind of message: "the device was not able to connect to the server. Try again in a few minutes."
Is it a possible to create a workout without scheduling it?I have a list of workouts I typically do. I would like to create a list of them and, when I decide to workout, I could pick a workout from the list and do it.Right now, the MotoACTV portal requires that I schedule any workout I create. That's not flexible enough for people who are not on a strict schedule.
Is there a way to start a competition that is something other than running, walking, cycling, elliptical or step machine? For example, if I'd like to create a competition for spinning, is there a way to do that?
Until I can create and populate a playlist via a native Android app, I wanted to see how feesible it is to create a playlist manally in Linux and put it on the MA.Its amazingly easy.ere is what I did:1 - I mounted the motoactv and browsed to the <mountpoint>/mobile/mml folder2. I created a new subdirectory - (I used "local" but I dont thing the name matters"3. Using a playlist created in the Itunes subdirectory as a template, I created a playlist (which is just plain ascii text) and put the list in my "local" subdirectory. The name of the playlist file is what will be used as a playlist name. I called mine - "libtest.pls". All I did is change the path to my Music folder, change tne NumberOfEntries entry, and change the directory slashes to match the windows style.he contents of my "libtest.pls" playlist look like this - Playlist]File1=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesAynsley ListerTower Sessions�1 Soundman.mp3File2=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesDelta MoonHell Bound Train�9 - Ghost in My Guitar.mp3NumberOfEntries=2Version=2
I play the same courses quite often. And, I have certain things that I would like to manually map as spots that I like to be at on the course on any given hole.Is there a way to hit a button on a location on the course and manually mark that spot? Like a custom targets per hole?
I see people posting workarounds on how to create pace zones (as an example) so settings will stick....I can't figure out how to create them in the first place....where would I input the data? The drop down only has "my zone templates" - and is not selectable. Am I in the wrong place?
On the Motoactv Software Upgrade 7.2 release notes it shows a "create workout" screen with options I am not seeing (such as warm-up and cooldown). If I add a new workout, these do not show up as options. Why? Has this update fixed the issue where the unit does not cycle through the stages automatically?
I plan to use this device for activities other than just the 5 or 6 activity types listed - for example - monitoring heart rate and calories burned during strength training or other types of cardio activities. Is there any way to create a custom activity type - or if not, can you add a few more generic ones? ...perhaps "Other", "Cardio", or "Strength"?
I know in iOS4 if you double tap the home button it gives you the multitasking option...is there a way to override that so the double tap can be ipod controls?
Im still on 3.1.3 waiting for the jailbreak 3gs, so I was just curious if a way existed for those who have been able to jailbreak their device.
I know it uses up battery time, but is it possible to over-ride the screen time-out? The longest time option on the menu seems to be 10 minutes, but eg when using GPS in the car - especially when the car charger is attached - over-ride this 10 minute limit.
I will often record a GPS track if I am flying in a plane and in a window seat. My old phone (HTC Incredible 4G LTE and even older HTC Incredible) would be able to get a GPS lock and record for the entire ride. Every now and then I may lose the signal. On my most recently flight, I tried this phone at the same time and noticed that it loses lock much more often. So overall, the sensitivity seems to be worse. When looking at detailed info, it seems like the number of satellites and signal strength from each satellite is about the same when viewing side by side. The Sony just requires a higher strengh to "lock". I'd rather have a GPS lock with lower accuracy...
just recieved this tn765 and have used it on one of my routes really good piece of tech. Juat a little background I make a lot of stops on my inspection route (30+).Have been using MS Streets trips and trips 2009 so maps are not an issue for me and have been able to update to q4 2009 just had to update the unit first.Also have been able to use google send to unit and put that address into favorites and route it so maybe updated my maps one by one as needed.Is this feature free forever or only 3 months? Have not been able to make the start and end of my route the same and this does affect how the unit actually routes my stops.Does anyone know how to do this I have tried home as start point or just current location and does not route me back home on planned trip or route.
