Auto resume
Gathering feedback
Hello
If I interrupt trip and pause recording this happens often I forget to resume recording when I continue the route.
It would be very helpful if Locus somehow recognized that change (quickly) by available sensors and either resumed recording self - or made hearable and visible alert to remind manual un-pausing recording. I realize auto resuming recording could be caused by false movement detection (GPS inaccuracy).
On top of this, when active recording is paused, Locus should indicate paused recording by larger banner over the screen (+ flashing)
I like this idea 
1 My phone is not readily available so I can't push resume. Even if my phone was available, I would not look to see if the tracking was auto paused.
2. If the GPS signal is lost for a bit, the tracking is paused.
3. Most importantly, if you auto pause you must auto resume. Lacking this, the app is unusable.

Auto stop/restart record by HARDWARE sensors detecting NON movement. Reliable ? I think so.

Nice simple (mapsforge/vector) map app, inclusive tracking (internet and sms), plus SEND alarm, when detecting a NOT moving phone.
NOT MOVING: After (SET)delay > audio alarm > after extra (SET)delay Send (SET phone number) SMS and/or (SET) mail message. See the in app Settings and in app (DE) Manual.
This app is not available anymore in Google play, but NOT Moving > audio alert > SMS is still functional.
Actually "on sofa" tested on Xiamo Mi A2 Lite (A9). Test by send alarm SMS to own phone number.
SET(NOT moving) by Sensitivity: From super sensitivity to Very rough. Some smartphones are more sensitive than others.
Super Sensitivity ! Check your phone ! Even sound vibrations by the alarm sound can retrigger the alarm send sms timer !
Information: O o ooh ...what a story ! ;-)
