How to recover recorded gps tracks

Radu Boboc shared this question 10 years ago

Hi,

I was recording a track when my SD Card Unexpectedly Removed .

Locus crashed and after I restarted it, I couldn't see my recored gps tracks

Please tell me where to look for them and how can I recover them ( even if only partially)


One guess of mine is that until the recording is stopped, locus is saving the track here: sd_card\Locus\cache\track_rec\track.lb

Am I correct?

Good day Radu,


You wrote that you do not see recorded trackS. You mean all recorded tracks till today (in this case, all are stored in Locus/data/database directory), or just currently recorded track? In second case, it's really fily you found in a cache.


In case, this file is in cache directory and you start Locus, you should see notification that exists unfinished recording and Locus should offer you continue in record.

Hi,

Locus was freshly reinstalled so there were no previously recorded tracks.

I was recording one track and after I restarted locus I didn't see the notification that the track exists.

Possibly it has something to do with the way it crashed.

Possibly the OS detected the sd was removed, checket it for health and found the filed corrupted and deleted it.

I have made imediatly a backup of locus folder so maybe it has been preserved. Please tell me where exactly to look for my file? and by my file I mean the file that is created during the time a new track is being recorded and has not been finished or saved yet to disk.


Thank you,

Radu

Hi Radu,

I guess that menion wanted to say that during the first start of Locus (after the crash ) Locus should shown messages that there is an unfinished recording (track records before crash).

Were you able to see such message? And is file sd_card\Locus\cache\track_rec\track.lb still on your SD card?

Nope.. track.lb is not there anymore.

I guess it got corrupted and it was removed by the os.

Oh well.... I have to go again into the mountins and retake the track....

Actually I don't know why am I complaing... I love mountains and mountain hiking :)

Thank you very much for your support.

So in this case I can only say ...sorry. There is no way how to restore the recorded track. So enjoy your trip to the mountains ;-)
