Rally settings

Rally settings is where the event lives: precision, segments, course notes, the map, the session options, and — from version 6.4 — loading, sharing and exporting the whole rally book .

Open it from the rally control panel MENU > Open rally settings, or with the settings button in the panel:

Or via the main MENU button here:

And then Settings > Advanced settings > Rally settings.

What is on the screen

• Rally identity — the event title, subtitle, description, logo, organizer credit, website and disclaimer. Loaded rally books fill this in; you can also add a logo from Files.
• Number of decimal places for distance, and for the target average speed.
• Segments usage and Segments — see below.
• Course notes — the road book that follows your distance.
• Session options — timing, odometer and speed-limit behaviour.
• Add waypoints or a track to the rally — build the event from data you already have.
• Rally map — the course, checkpoints and notes on a map (shown when the rally has a route or located notes).
• Route and notes in the app — save the route as a track, pin it to the main map, or save the notes as waypoints.

The ⋯ button holds Load rally (rally library, My rallies, import from Files) and Share or backup (the rally file as JSON, and the printable road book as PDF or HTML). See Rally book .

Number of decimal places for distance

Number of decimal places for distance can be 2 or 3 (e.g. 2.33 miles or 2.333 miles to be shown, respectively).

Picking number of decimal places for distance here also influences the distance adjustment options that you can use during the rally.

During the rally you can use the “±” button to show adjustment controls:

When number of decimal places in distance is 3, extra adjustments controls for +.001 and -.001 will be available:

With 2 decimal places for distance, only +.01 and -0.1 incremental adjustment options are present.

Segments

Segments serve for organizing the rally, if needed.

You can totally run your rally without any segment entered and use the SPLIT button in the rally control panel at any moment to split to the next segment/stage.

Segments, when entered, can be helpful in many ways:

1. When you enter distance, “Rally distance” gauge will show you remaining distance to end of the segment, in addition to a current distance.
2. When you have both distance and target average speed entered for a segment, “Rally timer” gauge in the tripmaster will show you an ideal time for that segment.

Dependent on the segments usage mode you pick in the rally settings:

1. None

Segments are not used, even if you provided them. Only “split” button is show to split at any moment you need.

2. Follow segments one by one.

When you start a rally session, the app starts with the first segment and gives you a button to split to the next segment. When you split to the next average speed segment, the app will of course apply that target average speed value to the off perfect speed rally panel as well.

3. Only give hints on average speed segments.

Also starts with the first segment, but always provides and option to split to a segment with no average speed, plus provides a split option to the next rally segment in the list you provided.

Dependent on information you entered for each segment, segments list provides you with start, end, total distance, ideal time for each segment in the list:

When rally session is not running, you can add, delete, re-order segments. You can also delete all of the segments by tapping on a “…” button and picking “Remove all segments”.

Target average speed - number of decimal places.

That’s mostly for a convinience of seeing target average speed as 50, 60, etc when you don’t need decimal precision for showing the target average speed.

Current average speed in the rally’s tripmaster and off perfect time monitor is show with 4 decimal digits, regardless the above setting.

Backup and restore, or share the whole rally.

Use the ⋯ button in Rally settings and pick Share or backup > Rally file (JSON). That single file carries the whole rally: identity, segments, course notes, route and session settings. Save it to iCloud Files or send it by e-mail; to bring it back, tap the file and open it in Speedometer 55.

The same menu exports a printable road book (PDF or HTML), and Load rally brings a rally in from the rally library , from My rallies on this device, or from Files.

The rally file is a simple text/json file. If you need, you can use a text editor to add/update/delete entries.
