VZfit Update: May 2019

Explorer

RIDES OVERHAUL
Find Rides to find Suggested, Popular, New, and Create rides yourself
My Rides to replay and edit Favorites, Recent, and your Created rides
All Rides now have thumbnail images and a details screen, including its distance and number of times completed by you and others
You can play any ride in Reverse as well as Forward, and you can Resume rides in progress from My Rides
All Suggested Rides now have a destination and distance
We’ve added 3 suggested rides for May and will drop more throughout the month
When creating rides, you can now enter a Destination, and follow the white dots (instead of yellow) along the Google directions to it
When creating rides with just a start point, you create your own directions until you choose to End it
After creating and finishing a ride at least once, you can Share (and Unshare) it with the community, to appear in Popular and New rides
You can choose to forget Recent rides and delete Created rides to reduce clutter
You can mark any ride you’ve tried under My Rides as a Favorite, for quick access
While riding you will see the % complete in the HUD, and a Gate at its destination
Vzfit.com/stats now shows your completed Rides by distance, so don’t just start a ride, end it!
Options now allows to you logout/login as a different user, and lower the HUD
Original VZ Bike owners will now see heart-rate in HUD
More trainer VO and eliminated “climbing” language
Add “completed %” to Resume button under My Rides
Clamp to 100% after crossing gate
Fixed saving of faves and % across runs
Fix gate appearing in front of menu when Ending a created ride
Frame-rate fixes
Fixed cadence display
Fixed heart-rate display on VZ Bike
Allow “resume” and “favorites” for all Rides under Find Rides, as well as My Rides. Not doing so was leading to some accidental resets of ride progress!
Fix end-gate placement to always be in center of road. Before if you entered a lat/lon that was just off the road, the gate would be there and you couldn’t get credit for finishing.
Show “distance to end” in HUD, and made the “percent complete” more accurate
Fixed trainer to follow white dots (when you aren’t making a route) instead of following the least turn at intersections
Fixed bug where panos would sometimes stop loading
Changed order of Suggested Rides from oldest->newest (on vzfit.com/stats too) because the older routes are better for beginners and we see people mostly following the first ones we suggest
Fixed bug that always indicated “new rides”
Use monoscopic 360 rendering instead of stereo on the GO for smoother frame-rate. This makes it feel a little more like a movie and reduces your perception of artifacts, but also feels less like you’re on the road. Would love feedback on this, it may be a temporary measure since we’re still optimizing.
Added support for Suggested ride leader boards
