Avigation

Kenny Daniel has been working on something similar. Voice commands for navigation, glide ratio, and speed.
He's been dev'ing for the Android.



Does he have any contact information?

I've completed the navigation (with voice commands) and wanted to continue down that path before pursuing performance feedback. Thinking about navigation based on a typical flight path (perpendicular then parallel to jump run) where the turn point is determined based on averaged glide ratio over a period of time.

Setting voice commands for direction to: Left, Right, Straight, Reverse, Unknown.

Setting voice commands for distance to: Above (when distance <=~1/3mile), Near (when distance <=~2/3mile), Far (when distance <=~1mile), ##.# (when distance >~1mile).

Opinions?

PS: I'm trying to make the commands as simple and intuitive as possible.

what about a voice notification if the unit cannot acquire either at or shortly after exit?



Your notification is no voice commands if a signal can't be found or is lost.

PS: I tried it today and it worked but was hard to hear in freefall (I'm currently using motorcycle helmet speakers). Under canopy worked well (and was easy to hear).

A few adjustments and I was able to hear it in freefall. I'm going to start testing the altitude accuracy to determine if I can use it to make the avigation more intuitive.
