Hi everyone,In our line of work, the responsiveness of our tech is paramount. Whether you are using a dedicated GPS unit or a high-end smartphone on your bike mount, any delay in screen refresh or touch input can be incredibly frustrating when you're trying to quickly check a "Knowledge" point or re-route in heavy traffic.I’ve been experimenting with a way to test the "real-world" input lag and touch precision of my mobile setup. I found that using a high-precision, physics-based "Video Game Entity" is a much better test than just swiping through menus. The tool I use is Slice Master.Because Slice Master requires you to time a blade flip with millisecond accuracy, it reveals exactly how much latency your device or screen protector is introducing. If there’s even a tiny bit of lag between your tap and the action on screen, you’ll miss the target. I used it to compare two different tablets for my map work, and the difference in "touch-to-action" speed was eye-opening.It’s a simple, browser-based tool, but it’s a great way to verify if your equipment is performing at its peak. It ensures that when you’re out on a "run," your tech is as sharp and responsive as your memory needs to be.Have any of you used specific apps or sims like Slice Master to "stress test" your screens or tablets? I’d be curious to know if anyone has found a specific device that handles high-speed input better than the rest for our Knowledge study.Best regards,
