Generate values for created track

Louis Dujardin shared this idea 6 years ago
Gathering feedback

Hi !


I like to save my tracks on Locus but I don't often record directly the track in order to save my battery.

Actually I always draw the track on the map after the ride.

The problem is that I don't have any datas on the track like speed, duration or other features.

The idea is to make it possible : add the duration and then locus calculates the speed.


Thanks

Good day Louis,

thank you for sharing of this idea. I have to say I have mixed feeling about it.


On one side, I understand your general idea and purpose of this. On second side, what I personally find "exciting" on all these stuff, are real recorded track with my movement, my real speed, my real times that I may check on chart, in statistics etc. With manually draw track, you loose all this ( no matter about "waste" of time on recreating your trip in app ).


From my point of view, this idea only solve one problem ... your worry about battery. Or has anyone idea on any other usage of this idea? Because if not, I think that this idea little bit break one of main purpose of Locus Map app ... record and store your real hiking/cycling/... trips.


And btw. battery ... biggest enemy of battery is not GPS, but screen/display. Common device should not have problem with full day recording. With small power-bank, you may be save for more then few days.


Anyway feedback of others is welcome.

I understand your point of view.


Actually, I often hike in moutains during 4-5 days without electricity, and I can't record the tracks everyday because I need to save my battery.

My idea concerns mostly the longest tracks and not the small tracks of a few hours.
