That's definitely one of the somewhat more, err, "out there" ideas that I've seen. (a) very small potential user base - you now need both a dive computer and a triathlon watch (b) unsure how well this would actually capture strokes at depth (c) as a diver, my goal is to move as little as humanly possible (ok, maybe that's not a good argument) (d) how would that be visualized, i.e., what would Subsurface DO with those data On the surface (no pun intended) I'm somewhat skeptical. Parsing the .fit file is easy - we have code to do that, all we'd need to do is identify the section / value that captures this part of the dive information. It's the rest of it that makes me wonder... /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
