| Log setting of the GPS device |
|
With most GPS devices you can configure how often your position is saved. There are usually three options:
- After a fixed time
- After a fixed distance away
- Automatic
Besides this you can choose the frequency (ranging from often to sometimes).
Ad.1 in this case, you get a very accurate recording. A journey of several hours will fill quickly your track memory on your GPS device. Mytracks.me has trouble with track files larger than 8000 points. Often this results in an error. Ad. 2. In this option no points are logged if you hold still. That is efficient, but you will miss some in the track details. Ad. 3. The GPS device has a built in algorithm that determines whether it is necessary to log a position.
You'll have to play a bit what for you is the best setting. I have good results with the setting on automatic.
