Feature Request: Overlay of Moutainbike Garmin Cycling Dynamics

[paulogonc]

Hi time4tea,

First of all, many thanks for your amazing work! I really appreciate it — I use your project to overlay metrics from my mountain biking rides, following your documentation, and it works like a charm. I'm running it in a Docker container and everything is running smoothly. So again, thank you for your effort and dedication!

One feature I’d love to see in future versions would be the ability to highlight jumps — for example, showing a short on-screen rendering of jump-related metrics when one occurs. I've checked the Garmin FIT file and it seems this data is available.

If you're interested, I’d be happy to provide a sample GoPro video (recorded with a GoPro Hero 11) along with the corresponding Garmin FIT file.

Here is a link which explains where to find the information of the jumps: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8902727/87082184-e5eab280-c22a-11ea-93e8-6f4e010da4ee.png

Thanks in advance, and best regards,
paulogonc

Hello, paulogonc,
I would love a similar feature (displaying something conditionally for short periods of time), however currently I have a working workaround using my fork of the library and a custom GPX file with extensions. It can only display single-colour rectanges (a hack using the bar module) and strings conditionally, however I think it may be worth a try for you. I'm not familiar with how the library handles FIT files though, but I believe there should be a way to convert between the two.
