Hi, I am using the APP on android, but using it during a car trip, the recorded points are very distant from each other and so the map is with flaws in the route.

Any settings to increase recording accuracy?

I performed two tests, both with the Google Maps APP closed.

With the APP Owntracks Map open, I got recording failures, but with the APP Map closed, it recorded right, with high accuracy.

I will test again without having the MAPA screen open, see if it influences the recording performance.

The Smartphone used, is old, with limited resources, perhaps because of its low accuracy when the map is open.

Test Android version Google Maps Owntracks Map Screen Precision recording of the route
1 9 Closed Open Low
2 5.1.1 Closed Closed High
3 9 Open Open High
4 9 Open Closed Low
5 5.1.1 Open Open High
6 5.1.1 Open Closed Low
7 9 Closed Closed Medium
8 5.1.1 Closed Closed High

I carry out the tests and update the table.

I can try, but I will have problems regarding the HTTP queue, when I don’t have an internet connection.
