Tracks naming when logging permanently

[Jan Hoogendoorn]

I want to use GPS Logger to log my location permanently (like in Google time line). What happens if GPS Logger is never switched off? Are the tracks split up in daily intervals or whatever?

GPS Logger has been made with the purpose to record high density tracks with the best accuracy, not to work as Google Time Line: in fact GPS Logger keeps the GPS sensor active for the whole time is switched on (to have the maximum accuracy), also if the app records one trackpoint every hour, leading to higher battery consumption.

However the app can record tracks for a long time (it has no time limit for each recording), and the density of the points collected can be adjusted using the interval filter and the distance filter (though it has no limit also on the number of points), thus I think that it can be used also as a sort of Google Time line.

If you never switch off GPS Logger, it simply continues recording into the same track until you click STOP.
There is no mechanism to split tracks on a daily basis.

Thanks for your response. Would it not be an idea to add some features to GPSLogger so it can be used as a sort of private time line? For instance by adding:

• the possibility to let GPSLogger save daily tracks;
• the possibility to keep GPSLogger permanently recording, even after a restart of the phone;
• the possibility to save power (less accuracy?)
