Magellan Active Website Version 1.22 Released

Announcement

Magellan Active Website Version 1.22 has been released.

Overview

Magellan Active now supports the OAuth authorization protocol for granting other websites and applications access to your Magellan Active data. This means you will no longer have to supply another website or application with your Magellan username and password in order for them to access your data. The old authorization method still works, but it will no longer be supported at some point in the future, so we will work with websites and applications to move them over to the new authorization method.

Change Log

•  Added support for websites and applications to use OAuth authorization method to request access to a user’s Magellan Active data
•  Updated Echo Series Apps page with link to Jog Note Android Application
•  Updated Echo Series Apps page with updated description for iSmoothRun

Minimum Smartphone requirements:

• Android 4.4 or later operating system

Today, Echo works with the Wahoo Fitness app on Android. If you know the Wahoo Fitness app, you know that it’s extremely powerful and customizable, and the integration with Echo continues on that promise. With the app, you can customize Echo data screens to show the metrics of your choice. You can even customize the button functions. If you like the start/stop function on the bottom-right button, you can do it. Everything is configurable to your liking, even your uploads. You can send your data to the service of your choice (including: Magellan Active, Strava, MapMyRun, RunKeeper, Nike+ and many more). We’re already working with other app partners  and we’re excited to announce their Android support as it becomes available.
