Powderful tracks your runs automatically, our intelligent algorithm detects the beginning and the end of a run by constantly tracking altitude changes. For say, when you get on a chairlift ride, Powderful ends the run automatically and waits for a new run to begin.
2, Speech Alerts
As you enjoy your day on the mountain, Powderful can talk to you to keep you informed.
Need to know your speed? Just create a target speed alert, Powder will speak to you once you reach your speed target.
Need to know what time it is? Just set a time announcement interval (e.g. 15 minutes), and Powderful will keep you updated accordingly (by announcing time once per quarter).
