Monitoring (UX changes)​

  • 'Monitoring Actions' top widget is deprecated. Widget 'Record GPX' is visible by default in all application modes, when the plugin is enabled.
  • Widget 'Record GPX' includes following actions: 'Start/Stop gpx recording', 'Start new GPX segment', 'Enable/Disable Live recording' and 'Save current GPX track' (doesn't stop recording).
  • Live recording now works only with enabled GPX recording.
  • 'Log Track' Settings control tracks recording for specific profiles and can't be change by state of the widget (the track will be recorded even if the widget is disabled).
  • 'Record GPX' widget controls track recording globally and independently from settings, starts background service if needed and restores state after application restart.
  • 'Sleep mode functionality' (keep gps on with OsmAnd running in background or with screen off) is available only from Logging Settings. Many operations like Navigation or Record GPX start 'Keep gps on' automatically.

And remember that only together we can achieve the best results! New features are coming SOON!
