Paid Version
Publisher Description
【The full version of the Bucephalas series】
This is the full version of the Bucephalas series with the functionality restrictions removed.
A FREE version of this app, Bucephalas Tabula rasa , is also available. You can experience the features of the full version in a real ride using Tabula rasa.
【Dialogue by parroting actions】
Bucephalas recognizes your actions and attempts to interact with you by verbally parroting them back to you.
With a navigation app, you would turn right after the app indicates “right turn”. Bucephalus, on the other hand, will say “right turn" after you turn right. In addition, Bucephalus will also parrot back actions such as "stopped," "resume movement," "retreat," and "turned in the direction of the full moon.
【Functions as a cycle computer】
In designing Bucephalas, it is assumed that the bicycle would be the primary means of transportation. Therefore, it also has basic functions as a cycle computer.
• Multiple bicycle management: Bucephalas can register multiple bicycles and record distance traveled and average speed by body.
• Management of bicycle parts by distance traveled: To manage bicycle parts based on the distance traveled, the user can set up a dedicated total distance meter for specific bicycle parts such as tires and brake shoes.
• Elevation and air pressure of the current location
• Altitude gained, maximum altitude gained, and cumulative altitude gained starting from the coordinates of the app's startup
• Voice-guided navigation to the destination
• 3D sound (stereophonic sound) provides direction to the destination.
【Suggestion of destinations on two spatial scales】
(1) Global Journey = Unknotting Mode
The intersection of a grid of latitude and longitude lines drawn every 1/60th of a degree is called a knot. There are 233,258,402 knots on the entire globe. The objective of Unknotting mode is to reach a circle with a radius of 50 meters centered on the knot.
(2) City-Scale Travel = Dispelling Mode
Scaling down the grid of Unknotting to 1/60, the objective is to explore a city from corner to corner. For those who wish to explore the city in even more detail, a movement logging function called Rectangular footprint is provided.
【Destination suggestion method that does not assume a spatial scale】
Mirages are a series of randomly generated coordinates. A Mirage initially appears at a distance of about 1 km from your location, but disappear when you attempt to approach within 25 meters, and then move to another location about 1 km away. The Mirage's coordinates are randomly generated, so there is no way to predict where it will lead you.
You can switch between two mirages (Fata Morgana and Ignis fatuus) (e.g., use one as main and the other as sub).
【As a photography assistant】
Bucephalas is equipped with a Magic Hour estimator to assist with photography while traveling.
Magic Hour is the time of day when the sun is at an altitude close to the horizon and is known to produce impressive lighting conditions.
• The start time of the magic hour (blue hour and golden hour) at the current location
• Moon and sun direction from the current location
• Start time of nautical and astronomical twilight
• Calculation of the direction of the sun and moon at a specific coordinate, date, and time
【Warning】
Many of the destinations suggested by the application include those that are difficult or dangerous to approach. Please do not approach those knots by force.
This app uses GPS even in the background; continuous use of GPS will rapidly drain the iPhone battery.
【Integration with the Health App】
This app will attempt to obtain your body mass data from Health app. The data obtained are used to convert the amount of your physical activity represented in METs•Hour into calories burned. Also, physical activity recorded in this app can be exported to Health app.

Version 11.0.0
1) Added the ability to draw a route. Unlike routes that change dynamically during navigation, fixed, pre-edited routes can be displayed on the map. Such a route is called a course.
(2) The system now recognizes the state of travel by vehicle even when the means of transportation is set to walk/run.
(a) Vehicle: An option when the main mode of transportation is non-human-powered, such as a private car or public transportation. Walking/running is recognized depending on the situation, but if the vehicle travels at a typical jogging speed (6.4 km/h) or faster, it is recognized as traveling by vehicle. Travel by bicycle is not recognized.
(b) Walking/running: Recognition of walking/running is preferred, but movement by vehicle is recognized depending on the situation. Movement by bicycle is not recognized. Actual speed of movement is possible.
(c) Bicycle (no change): Option for travel primarily by bicycle. Recognizes movement on foot/running and movement by vehicle, depending on the situation. Option to suppress recognition of walking/running is available.
(3) [Exercise Time] The physical activity (METs-Hour and kilocalories) displayed in the Session Summary tab is the total amount of activity with a load of 3 METs or more. Starting with this version, the time (Exercise Time) in which that totalization was performed is displayed.
(4) Changed the flick operation to the long press.
The activation method for the following functions has been changed from flicking to long pressing.
(a) To display the current location that was displayed immediately before on the map, long-press the location on/off button.
(b) To immediately iterate route guidance, long-press the route guidance button.
(c) To manually correct the heading direction, long-press the Tracking Mode button.
(5) Heading Estimation Algorithm
Algorithm to compensate for electronic compass and GPS errors has been updated.
(6) Bug fixes
(a) A bug that caused longer travel time than actual to be recorded has been corrected.
(b) Fixed a bug in the path deviation judgment algorithm.
