Recording Profiles Settings

Recording profile settings appear when user selects either to edit already given profile or add a new one.

  • Basic info
    • name of profile - pre-filled when editing already existing profile
    • icon - icon representing profile
    • remove profile - deletes profile, available only to Locus Map Pro users
  • 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.
    • Recording conditions - defines method of trackpoint recording based on distance and time intervals:
      • Distance AND time - both intervals at once trigger trackpoint recording
      • Distance OR time - one of the intervals triggers trackpoint recording
    • Required accuracy - sets maximum 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. 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.
    • 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.
  • Style on map
    • Limit trackpoints 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.
    • Number of trackpoints - defines number of visible recorded trackpoints on map in order to secure smooth running of the app
    • Color style of recorded track
      • Simple color - whole track is in single color
      • Speed - color of the track changes depending on recorded speed
      • Altitude - color of the track changes depending on recorded altitude
      • Accuracy - color of the track changes depending on GPS accuracy during recording
      • Change of speed - color of the track changes depending on recorded change of speed
      • Change of altitude - color of the track changes depending on recorded change of altitude
      • Heart rate - color of the track changes depending on recorded heart rate monitored by some connected ANT+ or Bluetooth sensor
      • Cadence - color of the track changes depending on recorded cadence monitored by some connected ANT+ or Bluetooth sensor
    • Track color and transparency - sets track color and transparency in case simple color style is selected
    • Track width - sets width of recorded track in units selected in another parameter
    • Track width unit - sets width units, meters for absolute track width or pixels for relative width on map
  • Advanced settings
    • Automatic export - sets automatic export of recorded track to files or web services. The setting dialog is the same as in the Track export but new button in the topbar - Set - that confirms the export selection
