The rate of GPS fixes

Suggestion for Sports Tracker

08-06-2009 16:20

Could you improve the rate of GPS fixes? The obvious use of Sports Tracker is GPS logging of the track. It's even more usefull because it's possible to associate media with the route. It seems that current update rate is just 1 fix per 30 seconds. It isn't always enought, e.g. I use Sports Tracker to log my route while driving and I'd like to have more precise tracks. I understand that higher rate drains battery faster, but could you let users to select such tradeoff themself?

Thank you for your reply. I should try the search first. I found that NST application stores fixes with interval I need. Export to file on the phone solved my problem.
