I would like to propose some features that would add a lot of useful information for tracking your fitness data.
1. Workout Intensity (=Percentage of Heart Rate Reserve %HRR)
The intensity of a workout can be calculated by comparing your current heart rate to your heart rate reserve (HRR). To get one's %HRR you need to know HRrest and HRmax. So 2 further attributes in the personal information section would be necessary. The formula is simple: %HRR = (HRcurrent - HRrest) / (HRmax - HRrest)
See: http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Heart_Rate_Reserve
2. Training Zones
Based on the %HRR I'd love to see training zones based on the Karvonen method. Here's a list of those zones:
This allows you to see roughly how intense you're training currently and if you're working out in aerobic or anaerobic state. This has been incorporated in Stravistix (a Chrome extension to make Strava even more useful). See: https://thomaschampagne.github.io/stravistix/img/screens/activity_xtd_hr_speed.jpg
3. Dashboard Element
Adding a %HRR dashboard element with a zone indicator (Zone 1 to 6 or color based) would just be awesome.
I like this idea 
acoustic warning when exceeding specific heart rate zone would be great feature!

It would be perfect...just used dashboard for my mtb training.hr, cdc alarms would be awesome!

I have written a very simple heart rate alert for my personal use: it can give three different signals for three zones. @aitvariux: If you are interested I can send it to you.

benuli, you are a small genius !! )))) yes, please. aitvariux@yahoo.co.uk really appreciate that!

@aitvariux: ok you become the second installation of this add on world wide ;-). At the moment I run the 'developer version' of my add on. I must learn how to deploy it as a real app. So if you have some patience on testing, we will get it to run. Next days you hear from me.

No problem !! i am not a techy guy too much, but will see how i can help for you with this !

@gianluca: yes I will do.

That looks perfect and simple. Where to download ?

just one more idea. maybe it could vibrate not only beep ? Mate, if you want to test it, i will go to do a cardio training today and gonna wear my bluetooth belt.

Yes,it works! I think need more frequently beeps when hr is high or somehow have to possibility to change that beeps

Good day Andreas, guys,
I've merged older topic focused on "heart rate zones" into this new idea proposed by Andrew.
Thanks Andrew for a very precise description, I'll definitely use it as good inspiration. This idea has quite a big support, so I'm sure, I'll work on this, not so far since now :). Thanks for now.

It would be nice to allow users to create their own zones.
It would be nice to setup interval training in zone alerts. Interval training is not in one zone. Training is splitted to periods and you train in different zone in different period (typically you switch between short intensive anaerobic and longer aerobic periods).

There is a Locus Addon "Heart rate zone" which does a very good job. Only a dashboard element is missing :-) . And of course it does not work anymore with the yesterday new installed Locus version 3.24.2. :-(

Point 3 (about Dashboard) is similar to my idea
http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/dashboard-change-text-color-based-on-value
Point 2: addon doesn't work after each update of Locus. :(

Hi Menion,
can be improved the statistic of the recorded track?
Specifically, the time spent in different heart rate zones. I will set my zones (see first post) and Locus shows me how long i was in Z1, Z2, Z3 ...

Hm, still Locus is an outdoor app, so bloating it with fitness stuff (indoor training, etc), although there already are great specialized apps for that, seems too much in my opinion.
Recording, tracking and orientation/navigation, ok, but does Locus really needs evaluation of trainings, when there are more dedicated and nicely working solutions already?

Feature: Dashboard: Color Numbers by heart rate Zone option.

It would be nice a "max heart rate alarm" function. If my heart rate would be higher than the preset value, Locus should alarm with a loud beep.

I strongly agree with the opinion
And it would be nice to have a beep about your maximum heart rate for your age.

And this should go along with a rolling 3-minute average of the heart rate/zone. A total average is not useful in this scenario.
