- | ===== The Location Tracker ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The AlpineQuest GPS Location Tracker is a background service that records all your locations and creates a track of your hikes. | ||
- | |||
- | At any moment, you can get advanced statistics (distances, speeds, elevations) and graphics. | ||
- | |||
- | Tracks can be saved within AlpineQuest or exported as GPX and KML files, that can be displayed in various softwares such as Google Earth. | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | To start the Location Tracker, click on the toggle {{: | ||
- | |||
- | The Location Tracker is composed of the following items: | ||
- | |||
- | * The **current track state** {{: | ||
- | * The **current track profile** {{: | ||
- | |||
- | When the Location Tracker is paused with recorded data, the following items are also available: | ||

- | The Location Tracker can be finely configured to provide the exact tracking you need. | ||

- | The two first settings are linked to the GPS Position settings, if you change one on a side, it will be updated in the other. This behavior is done to keep a synchronization between all locations listening within the application and so reduce the battery usage. | ||

- | ==== Locations filtering ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Location filters allow you to reduce the amount of recorded locations in order to reduce the battery usage and to increase the tracking accuracy (by reducing GPS inaccuracy errors). | ||

- | |||
- | When a new location is computed by the GPS based on the update frequency, the application will: | ||
- | * Check that the location accuracy is better or equals to the "'' | ||
- | * Check that the distance from the previous location is greater or equals to the "'' | ||
- | |||
- | For instance, when using an update frequency of 5 seconds, a distance filter of 3 meters and an accuracy filter of +/-256 meters, all recorded locations: | ||
- | * Will have at least 5 seconds and 3 meters between them, unless the accuracy is increasing; | ||
- | * Will have at least an accuracy of +/-256 meters. | ||

- | ==== Loss of signal warnings ==== | ||

- | If the GPS signal is getting poor or lost, AlpineQuest will replace the green GPS Location Tracker' | ||
