OpenTracks has the following features:
- * Create markers (incl. pictures)\n
- * Heart rate sensor (Bluetooth LE)\n
- * Voice announcements by time or distance\n
- * While recording, show on lock screen\n
- * Share tracks
+ * create GPS tracks\n
+ * use a heart rate sensor (Bluetooth LE only)\n
+ * voice announcements (by time or distance)\n
+ * create markers (incl. pictures)\n
+ * works completely offline\n
+ * show tracks on a map (see below)
- Can the statistics view be customized?
- Yes, it can be customized in the Settings.
- How does OpenTracks record data?
- OpenTracks uses the GPS sensor of the device to record the location continuously.
- Statistics (e.g., speed) reported by OpenTracks are imprecise?
- OpenTracks directly uses the data provided by the GPS of the mobile device. If the GPS device reports inaccurate locations, OpenTracks cannot do anything about it.
- Which heart rate sensors does OpenTracks support?
- OpenTracks should work with any Bluetooth LE heart sensor that support streaming the data in real-time. Smartwatches that store the heart rate data are not supported.
+
How to show a track on a map?
-This requires a 3rd party application to be installed that can consume KMZ-encoded geo data.
-This works well with OsmAnd~ and Maps.ME.
-In fact, an App needs to support ACTION_VIEW with MIME application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.
-At the moment, the recorded locations as well as the timestamps are send to an App while pictures and sensor data are not shared.
+ Use the small map icon.\n
+ a)
+ (live updates) Install OSMDashboard.
+ It provides online or offline maps via OpenStreetmap.\n
+ Actually, OSMDashboard is a separate app that only can access (temporarily) access the data of track(s) that are going to be shown.
+
+ \n
+ b)
+ Via a "normal" map application (e.g., OsmAnd and MAPS.ME).
+ Those app need to support the KMZ file format (only locations and timestamps).
+ In fact, an app needs to support ACTION_VIEW with MIME application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.
+
+
How does OpenTracks store pictures that were taken as markers?
- These are stored directly on the file system.
+ These are stored in the app internal storage (i.e., only accessible within OpenTracks).
+
How can I export/share recorded tracks?
Tracks can be exported from the Settings as KMZ, KML, or GPX.
- KMZ contains all data incl. images, while KML contains only the sensor data, and GPX only the location.
- Tracks shared via the share icon are shared as KMZ and any App can be used to send the data.
+ KMZ/KML all data; GPX only locations.
+ Tracks shared via the share icon are shared as KMZ.
- Can OpenTracks upload the data automatically?
+
Does OpenTracks require/use Google Play Service?
- Does OpenTracks use online services?
+
+ How does OpenTracks record data?
+
+ OpenTracks uses the GPS sensor of the device to record the location continuously.
+ If the GPS device reports inaccurate data (e.g., location, speed, elevation), OpenTracks cannot do anything about it.
+
+
How does OpenTracks store sensor data?
- OpenTracks stores sensor data per recorded location.
- In terms of a heart rate sensor this means that only one heart rate measurement is stored per location.
+ Sensor data is stored per recorded location.
+ In terms of a heart rate sensor, this means that only one heart rate measurement is stored per location.
If you are standing still or are indoors, no sensor data will be recorded (but it will be shown).
+
+ OpenTracks is not recording locations?
+
+ What you can do:\n
+ a) check if GPS is enabled,\n
+ b) improve GPS reception (e.g., go outdoors),\n
+ c) check if with GPSTest app, and\n
+ d) disable power saving.\n
+ \n
+ If everything does not help please report a bug.
+
+
+ How can I support OpenTracks?
+
+ You can:\n
+ a) spread the word about OpenTracks,\n
+ b) propose features,\n
+ c) report bugs,\n
+ d) help in software development,\n
+ e) buy in Google Play Store,\n
+ f) donate, and\n
+ g) do whatever you think helps OpenTracks.
