Topics
Martin-Guy：Google Maps 骑行路线规划的预估速度过快，希望能够调整预估速度或寻找替代应用，以便更准确地规划骑行时间。他更喜欢使用 Google Maps 网站，因为它允许修改路线。 Mikah Sargent：目前 Google Maps 没有提供调整骑行速度的功能，它默认假设骑行速度为 10 英里/小时。建议使用 Strava 或 Komoot 等替代应用，它们可以更精确地计算骑行时间，并提供更多骑行相关的功能，例如性能追踪和路线规划。Strava 是一款多功能应用，也支持骑行、慢跑和远足等活动；Komoot 则是一款专门为骑行设计的应用，可以根据不同的骑行类型（公路自行车、山地自行车等）规划路线。Mikah Sargent 还建议 Martin-Guy 可以根据 Google Maps 默认的 10 英里/小时速度进行简单的数学计算，自行调整预估时间。

Shownotes Transcript

On Hands-On Mac, Mikah answers questions about adjusting a setting within the Google Maps app, whether there's a difference in audio and video quality between a Roku TV and an Amazon Fire stick, what music players will work for Android to play all the songs of an individual artist, getting legacy hardware to connect to an iPhone hotspot, and what passkeys are!

  • Martin-Guy is a retired cyclist who uses Google Maps while cycling. However, the cycling times reference speed within the app is too fast for him. He's looking for a way to adjust that setting if possible or if there's an alternative app he can use that would allow him to make such an adjustment.

  • Michael owns a 4K TCL Roku TV and the most recent Amazon Fire TV Stick. Is there a difference in audio or video quality between the Roku TV and the Amazon Fire TV Stick?

  • Lane just got a Pixel 9 Pro and stores his music in a folder on the device. He uses an app called Musicolet as his player and wants to know if there's a way to play all the songs of a selected artist in shuffle mode or if there's another app that can do this.

  • Jon is trying to connect older "legacy" hardware to his iPhone hotspot but is having trouble doing this and wonders if Mikah knows of any tricks to get this older hardware to connect to the hotspot.

  • Todd has heard Mikah talk about Passkeys on the TWiT network many times in the past. However, he doesn't understand what a passkey is and asks Mikah for any insight he can share about passkeys.
