Is there a way to change the GUI of BLEVO? I'm not in love with the large circles that appear and would like to customize the appearance.

You can go to "Customize Display" and change the screen layout. I think the default, vertical layout uses horizontal bars instead of dials/circles.

Hello,

Is it possible to use an external GPS receiver on iOS as I already have with RaceChrono ? I have a lot of errors (example 115km per hour !!) with the internal GPS.

Thank you

no sorry..

About the sync of the rides between 2 phones (Android). I suggest to make a backup every ride and before starting a new ride, if you want to change the phone, please restore the backup on the new phone.
In the use case (20 rides on one phone and 70 rides on another phone), I'm implementing the import functionality, so with the CSV you can import the ride from one phone to another..
Stay tuned..

Now in the Android version you can remove the "circle" of the speed and the the cadence using the dedicated checkbox in the display configuration.. I don't like me too..

I apologize in advance if this topic was covered somewhere in this 133 page thread. Maybe on page 93? Or was it 43?

Being an old codger, I prefer a pc to a smartphone. What I want to do is replicate the Blevo function of correlating power, cadence, motor temp, etc. with specific spots on the ride map. It would be awesome to single-step my location on the ride map and see all the data from that point in the ride.

I can transfer GPS data to my pc and view the ride route, and I've been looking at (and graphing) the telemetry in Excel, but I don't know how to synchronize the telemetry to the map.

Do any of you know how to do this? TIA!

Haha, and never the twain shall meet!

I own a Garmin 1030, and I moved to a cheap 100 android phone instead with Blevo, way easier to use, trailforks works for real and with the Garmin I had to run my phone and the garmin for most stuff to almost work. Garmin is going on the chopping block...

 

[Cavi]

running BLEVO on an Android, how do I get it to run in the horizontal position? I tried and it did not rotate, what am I missing?

@PaoloBLEvo great, looking forward to this solution...?Thank you.

I just released the new version 3.6.0 of BLEvo for iOS.
I have added the management of the barometer in order to have better altitude values than the GPS.
I also introduced the management of the SL extender. The battery percentage is now increased by the extender value. You will see values higher than 100%, because 100% refers to the main battery. So for example, since the main one is 320Wh and the extender is 160Wh, with all 2 batteries charged to 100%, you will see a charge percentage of 150%. I attach some pictures
Here I list all the news:
- Added cardio zones
- Added SL extender management
- Barometer management added
- Added Slope field in the display (recommended only if the phone has a barometer)
- Bugfix: Restored character ? instead of ? in older versions of iOS
- Bugfix: Average consumption display with additional battery
- Bugfix: display of long texts
- Update to XCode 12.0.1 for iOS 14

Updated from the Apple Store.
Good fun.

You have to open configuration you'll find a couple of points to set. After that you will see on the display the percentage of battery as a sum of the main + extender. When Blevo reads a % amount discharge from the main, the same applies for the extender,since Blevo can't read the status of the secondary battery.

No sorry.. it is still in development..

Ed updated the user manual for Android..
Thanks a lot Ed..
You can find in the app or via this link..

I just released version 3.7.5 of BLEvo for Android.
Here are the news

- Added on the phone battery if a power bank is connected
- Second Levo SL battery management added
- Added configuration to not ask every time the wh of the additional battery
- Added map view button above the chart
- Now the GPX import menu has vertical view only
- Bugfix: Now the cursor does not rotate if the option not to rotate the map when stationary is active
- Removed link for donation via paypal because it is not well accepted by Google

When the extender is connected, you can view the percentage of separate or combined batteries.
From the screenshots you can see the two possibilities.
It is possible to switch from one view to another simply by clicking on the value.

From this screenshot you can see how the phone's battery status is displayed when connected to the power bank.
Also in this screenshot are shown the batteries with separate charging

In this screenshot only one battery value is displayed by adding the two batteries

Here the battery monitor with the addition of the extender is displayed.

Have you thought about adding pause/resume button onto map? Now I have to scroll back to map view again every time I want to continue ride.
Also camera button would be nice. Without any physical camera button it is little tricky to start camera. (scroll up from map, pause to show on screen buttons, .... )

Sometimes program gets stuck in situation where it says "unlock screen" first. I am not sure when that happens but I have to toggle between other programs to get buttons responsible again.

I am using android version of the Blevo.

 

[lumpy]

No matter how hard I try, I can't get myself to go back to Mission Control

BLEvo is SO MUCH BETTER! Thank you Paolo

What heart monitor chest strap is compatible with the Blevo app? I lost my Garmin and was looking for a cheaper replacement. Does it need to be ANT+?

Polar OH1, best optical and it works in arm. Much more accurate than any watch.

Not sure what Android phone you have, but regarding the camera on my Samsung Galaxy a double tap of the power button always brings up the camera regardless of what app/state (off/on) the phone is in.

I just bought this, works well. Cost less than £30.

Hi @Paolo, On recent rides, the elevation gain (total ascent) transferred to strava is significantly greater than the value recorded within the app. Something gets wrong during strava upload (units conversion maybe).
Would be great if you take a look at this.
Android ver 3.7.3.on galaxy_s8.
Thank you for this great app and support efforts.

Ive been using one of these since January and its been working perfectly. I was gifted an Apple watch last month and have not got it to work for more than 5 minutes. Went back to the CooSpo after 2 rides and its not let me down.

I have Huawei P30 pro and it won´t work in Blevo. Shortcut to camera is pushing 2x volume down but it just adjust volume when blevo is active.

To remove the message "unlock screen" you can deselect in the BLEvo configuration to avoid the use with lock screen...

Thanks, I have to try that.

On my customised display I've selected the 'km to end' field. However, I cannot get any data to display for it even when I'm following a route. How do I get it to show how far I have left to go?
