Scosche MyTrek update

Well I didn’t return the unit as I heard that Scosche were going to produce an Android version.  Alas they have.

The app is so much better than the iphone one.  The good parts are :-

  * Asks permission to turn on BlueTooth when you start the app
  * Does now show maps etc.
  * Liaises with RunKeeper by sending it's data after an activity - more later.
  * It seems more accurate most of the time.

The bad parts are :-

  * The app allows you to select metric units, but asks for your weight in lbs always
  * Switching away from the app to make a phone call, causes it to stop recording your current session
  * It recorded my heartbeat at 249, whilst walking up a hill.  Surely I should be at the docs by now.
  * Whilst cycling on one trip it dropped out for a minute or two

So whilst it is an improvement on the iPhone issues it is way from perfect.
