+{{ :manual:user_guide:ic_track_record_alt.png?nolink|}}====== Track Recording ======
+----
+===== About =====
+Recording tracks in Locus Map is one of the core functions. Technically it is continuous saving of a chain of trackpoints - places that are marked by unique GPS coordinates - which are sort of breadcrumbs that user leaves behind when moving. The density of trackpoints/breadcrumbs can be pre-defined in **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:profiles_settings| recording profiles]]** and varies according to used activity - walk, run, biking or driving by car. The faster is the activity, the less dense are trackpoints and the longer is the supposed traveled distance.
+Tracks recordings are saved, stored in folder, can be sorted, filtered or edited later as can be seen in **[[manual:user_guide:tracks:management|Track Management chapter >>]]**. The track can be turned into a route to **[[manual:user_guide:functions:navigation|navigate]]** you or just **[[manual:user_guide:functions:guidance|guide along]]** its line.
