GPS-Results has always been able to calculate the 24 hours division if there is more than 24 hours of data.Manfred has been working on getting it to calculate 24 hours average with less than 24 hours of data for some time. Apparently it is not as easy as it sounds. He is getting very close and has sent me test versions to evaluate.
I'm gonna put it out there that with less than 24hrs, *should* be trvial... ie: just take the full data-set... this same rule applies to the 1hr ranking, ie: if your data is less than 1 hour, just take all of it. aka: it *is* far simpler than having to analyse the whole track to find the best segment.
In terms of program code, it should be *the first* test applied to the data for that metric, then attempt to find the best segment.
I am not sure how this effects our ability to manually post results on GPS-SS.
It is in context because if you use the auto-upload of GPSR, you then cannot edit the now-invalid (in this case, 24hr) field. aka it is a failing of the website to not be able to compensate for the bugs in 3rd-party software.
Relatedly, gps-speed.com is used for manual calculation -> again it cannot calculate the 24hr... which is fine as us humans can do it manually... but only if the website would allow for manual override.
Personally, I actually prefer the distance ranking to be in KM's. It think it make more sense to everyone but the USA. But if you have your preferences in GPS-SS set to show speeds in Knots, that's what the record distance ranking will show you.
I'd like km's too, but niether is currently... "Snelheid" is what is shown.
