Hi Mateo,


do you have screenshot of the situation? GPX of the track for test?

the trkking was done with a few breaks (maximum 30 minutes) the duration in motion should be 9 hours but indicates 5 hours and 12 minutes.

Hi I'm waiting for directions to solve the problem!

Thank you!!

Hi Matteo,

seeing the track statistics it is clear you were hiking in a demanding mountainous terrain. You were moving very, very slowly - your average speed was 1.5 km per hour (!). Such a slow speed is often evaluated by your mobile device sensors as non-movement a that's why there is so small value in the "movement" section.

Hi thanks for the reply!But the duration is not calculated with the movement of the gps?Is not there a chance to detect such a low speed by changing the settings? Is the problem with the smartphone?

Locus Map detects speed under 1,8 km/h as non-movement and this limit can't be changed in settngs.

Well, I think the developers of the app should intervene since the problem exists !!
If it is only a problem of setting the solution is simple and could be proposed in the next updates by lowering the speed limit to 0.5Km / h
No??</span>

Matteo, what are your track recording profile settings? time and distance interval and "AND/OR"parameter, GPS accuracy etc.?

do I have to change setting to some parameter?

No, you don't have to change your settings, they're okay. I needed to see them just to be sure. Your requirement of detected speed limit of 0.5 km/h is unrealistic - it's way under sensor capabilities of mobile phones in general. What's more, we must take into account GPS deviations originating from weather and terrain conditions. When there is a better movement detection available, we'll change this parameter. Now it would be meaningless. Thanks for understanding.

Uphill I can do 300 meters in one hour (vertical reckoning). Linear that could be anything between 1500 meters and 10000 meters. Matteo's example/screenshot indicates about the same gain/loss per hour. 1,8 km/h is quite critical in serious hiking. I understand that GPS is not more precise. But phones do have other sensors to detect motion. Maybe in the future of Locus?

I agree with Henk.. My last hiking had an average speed 1,2-1,5 km/hour ..the pack was heavy and steep terrain .These can be very normal speeds for hiking. The 1,8 km/hour limit is not good for this

Maybe using the fused location ( taking into account acceleration sensor and other sensors) would help in lowering this limit speed. This should be improved

You can use Google Services assisted location (Locus settings > GPS&sensors) - it utilizes the fused location provider. But, unfortunately, the system is not fully functional in all devices so , therefore, unreliable.

I'm using Google Services assisted location on my Galaxy S8 and it is reliable

Am i to understand that if I use assisted location, then I'm not suffering from this 1,8 km/h limit for detecting movement? This way the limit is much lower?

With fused location provider the limit is 0,25m/s which is 0,9 km/h. But we don't generally recommend it because it's unreliable, despite it's Google-backed solution.
