GPS interval on charging/ Track Colour.

Post by brucee »

Hi,

New user here, but long time GPS and various tracking app user.

I am looking for a feature, so when the app is running plugged in, in a vehicle, and charging, (ie when car ignition is ON, engine is running) tracking line and live pin would be one colour, and when NOT charging, (ie ignition is OFF) tracking line and live pin would be another colour. Or drop a coloured pin on the map each time the charging is off.

Using the "GPS interval on charging" setting, say set to 15 seconds when charging, for more accurate tracking when the car is in motion, then falling back to every 30 minutes say, when the ignition is off, and the car is stationary, to save battery.

This would be a great set up using an old cheap Android phone as a car tracker, plugged in to an ignition controlled power supply in the car, so you could clearly see by the colour of the pin or line on the map wether the ignition was on or not, so if the car made a stop or not.

Any chance of bringing this in?

Bruce.

Hi,
Welcome and sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately only smaller change requests can be accepted, so this change cannot be implemented at the moment.
By the way, charging info is not saved for history, you can see only the live information. But if you want to see if the car was stopped just click the track, click "track info", and choose "speed".

OK, thanks for that.

Or perhaps then change the line colour when the device is stationary for more than a set time?

Hi,
Sorry, the system uses different colors for differnt users (you can have more than one user on the same map). What is your basic intention with the app? Maybe there is alternative solution. Would you like to be notified if somebody is driving the car?

Just really need to see each time the ignition is turned off, so you can tell easily where the car has made a stop.

Any way of implementing this would be good.
