Track Recording Settings for Ski
Answered
Currently for skiing I use a custom track recording profile with the below conditions (using AND function)
Min Distance: 3 feet
Min Time: 1 second
Accuracy: 166 feet
I use this both for resort skiing (where I may be skiing up to 60mph) and backcountry skiing (where most of the day is skiing at about 2mph but when skiing I could be going up to 40mph or more). Do these settings seem good for this activity? Is there anything I could do to make it more accurate or use less battery while still being pretty accurate for my needs?
Thanks!
The same question
Hi Clayton,
the question is, what result do you get with these settings and are you happy with it? First of all, I would distinguish between downhill and backcountry skiing. The basic rule is - the faster is the activity, the shorter should be the time interval and longer distance between trackpoints and vice versa. Anyway, 3 ft is too little even for walking, not mentioning the highway speed you can ski downhill.

Thanks Michal. I set it to 15ft/2s/166ft. We will see how that works out. I haven't had issues with the track being too far off. I wanted to get more accurate speed measurements, which change by the second when skiing. Do you have any thoughts about the 166ft required accuracy to record a point? I don't want to have Locus record 50% of the points because of this setting but I figured having more accuracy might be a good thing.

The accuracy of 166 ft is good I think. In good conditions Locus measures with accuracy of cca 10ft but in the mountains (slopes, trees, bad weather etc. ) the radius varies quickly and it's good to widen the range of acceptable trackpoints.
