This is....weird to say the least.
Mine doesn't show it. Maybe because I'm on CM10?
my locations services were off so nothing for me!
I cant find it either? - I am on 4.1.
What bugs me about Google is they have these cool apps, eg face recognition and the Voice recognition but its not till someone tells you about them or you read about them by chance (on here for example) do you find them.
These are very very cool, powerful apps that deserve a little bit more fanfare.
how does it know how u cycled? mine came up last night...but i've never used cycling directions in the maps feature. HmM...
Probably accelerometer measurements to see if you were walking, possibly coupled with some kind of intelligent algorithm to determine whether your speed/acceleration/deceleration were consistent with particular modes of transport. If this is on CM10 I'm looking forward to getting that on my o2x and starting to use it, so I can compare the distance it thinks I've done with the distances my cycle computer thinks I've done :D
I've only had JB for around a week and it still came up with walking data for September and October, so it must be referencing data from ICS.
It checks your speed. Walking speed < Biking speedQuote:

Not seen in on CM10 ROM for HTC Sensation, but I have GPS off most of the time.
Am I the only one who thaught pedometer meant something else entirely?
I was ready to go test it on random strangers :S
