===== Recording Profiles Settings =====

----
Tracks are recorded in Locus within a particular recording profile which is a set of parameters defining various aspects of the recording. Settings of these parameters can be accessed from:
  * //Locus settings > Track recording > particular recording profile//{{:manual:user_guide:ic_bt_config_alt.png?nolink&30|}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecset4.png?nolink |}}
  * slide-out track recording control panel > Track recording settings > particular recording profile//{{:manual:user_guide:ic_bt_config_alt.png?nolink&30|}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecset1.png?nolink |}}
  * bottom track recording control panel > Track recording settings > particular recording profile//{{:manual:user_guide:ic_bt_config_alt.png?nolink&30|}}\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecset3.png?nolink |}}
In these settings you can edit an already created profile. If you want to add a new one, go up one level in the settings hierarchy (//settings > track recording//).\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecset2.png?nolink |}}
==== Title - recording profile activity ====
<WRAP center round info>
Recording profile activity is set by default and cannot be changed. If you need a profile with an activity that is not set by default, you have to **create a new recording profile**
</WRAP>

  * //Name// - insert name of the profile
  * //Preferred folder// - select which folder will be used for storing recorded tracks from this profile. Default is //Last used//. If you need a new folder, please go to the [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management|track manager]] first.
  * //Auto-save after stop// - check to save recorded tracks automatically into the preferred folder immediately after the recording is stopped. Option is active only when other than //Last used// folder is selected.
  * //Remove this profile// - deletes current profile,
==== Parameters ====
  * //Distance interval// - sets distance between recorded trackpoints. The slower movement, the shorter the distance should be.
  * //Time interval// - sets time period between recording two trackpoints. The slower movement, the longer the period should be.
  * //Trackpoint recording conditions// - defines method of trackpoint recording based on distance and time intervals:
    * //Distance AND time// - both intervals at once trigger trackpoint recording - smoother line but less accurate
    * //Distance OR time// - one of the intervals triggers trackpoint recording - very accurate but a lot of trackpoints recorded
  * //Required GPS accuracy// - sets maximum acceptable range of GPS accuracy for recording trackpoints
  * //Record only when moving// - track recording is running only provided Locus Map detects movement of the device. If not, the recording is paused.\\ <WRAP round tip >Sometimes, location indicator is moving on map even when speed is 0 m/s. That is caused by post-processing of raw GPS data in the device and insufficient amount of data. By enabling this feature, Locus Map stores only correct trackpoints.</WRAP>
  * //Record when GPS is off// - track recording proceeds even if the GPS signal is out, e.g. in buildings. Location is acquired by wifi and mobile networks and can be approximate only.\\ <WRAP round important>"Accuracy" of such a recording can oscillate kilometers from your real location or such recording can be stopped due to low value in the //Required accuracy// parameter.</WRAP>
==== Style on map ====
  * //Track recording line style// - launches a dialog with [[manual:user_guide:tracks:management#track_route_folder_style|line style settings]] - color, mode, pattern, width etc.
  * //Display only part of track on map// - limits number of visible trackpoints of actually recorded track.  Recommended for long or frequent routes. Too long recording (too many trackpoints) may slow down the display of maps.
  * //Displayed track part length// - defines number of visible recorded trackpoints on map in order to secure smooth running of the app
==== Advanced settings ====
  * //Audio coach auto start// - defines a **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trainingmanager|audio coach scheme]]** to be started simultaneously with the track recording
  * //Automatic export// - sets automatic export of recorded track to a file or web service. The setting dialog is the same as in the **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:export#tracks_export_dialog|Track export]]** except of a new button - **Set** - that confirms the export selection
  * //Connected hardware auto-start// - here you can define **[[manual:user_guide:tools:bluetooth|bluetooth]]** or **[[manual:user_guide:tools:ant|ANT+]]** devices connected to the phone that should be started simultaneously with the track recording
  * //Live tracking auto-start// - defines a  **[[manual:user_guide:functions:live_tracking|Live tracking]]** event to be launched simultaneously with the track recording
