track recorder records points even if it is no move

[ydespond]

With the new 2.3.6 version, the track recorder records points even if it is no move.

The option to skip location if no move has disapeared.

Hi,
This detection has been improved and is now done when you stop the track recorder. It's always active, this is why the setting is not here any more.

Thank you for the answer.

I recorded a track and exported it to GPX. I can see that the file contains many points with exactly the same coordinates. This was not the case with previous version.

The track file is attached to this message.

Yes absolutely, in fact when the app detects that the user is not moving (or very little), it will put the points on the same locations instead of simply deleting them.
When locations are removed, a lot of data is lost (including battery level, network strength, ambient pressure).
I now realize that my previous answer was misleading, so to be more precise the app still detects when user is standing still, but those locations are gathered together instead of simply be deleted.

Thank you, it is clear.

I use the GPX file and the other datas are not in it. In this case many identical points are not very usefull. I use use a modified version of jachetto software to convert from TRK to GPX and i will be able to suppress identical points during the conversion. It seems that the format of the TRK file as changed with the last version of AQ, could you please update the description.

As far as I know the script is up to date with the latest file specifications.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Thank you for the answer.

By the way, in the next update there will be a new user setting that will make the app do delete those locations instead of gathering them.
This way you'll have the same behavior as before.
This user setting will be:

Code: Select all

agent.track_recorder.delete_static_locations=1
