Thanks - that's what I was suspecting... :-(

Hi all,

I currently have a new phone I'm trying out - Cubot King Kong Mini 2 Pro. I installed Locus Pro 3.70.0 and took the phone for a couple of runs using Locus' tracking. The first run went fine, but today's outing left me somewhat surprised: after a certain point (roughly 2:30h into the run), the track started diverging significantly from the 'real' one, while it was spot-on before. I have attached the recorded track and the true one - the latter drawn in Viking for simplicity. Also note that the elevation data of the recorded track is totally off - nope, that town is not 790m below sea level ;-)

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Ah ok thanks - I got it. I was already wondering that in both previous cases Locus automatically re-launched and continued track recording after I had restarted the phone. Quite a neat feature tbh., and now I now about the 10min-rule :-)

Thanks everyone for your feedback and suggestions! The tracking robustness and resume feature are truly awesome. But as pointed out by @lor74cas, 10 minutes are quite a tight limit if you happen to miss battery warnings (if any).

Thanks. So you mean pausing track recording, then shutting down the phone, or pausing, exiting Locus and then shutting down the phone?

Hi all,

I've been using Locus Pro to track my runs for more than 12 years now. For Ultras longer than 12h, I'm using an old phone with interchangeable battery. With old versions of Locus, I usually stopped recording when my battery was low, changed battery and started a new recording after the phone was powered back on.

I was very (!) excited to see that with current Locus versions (mine is 3.68.2), after the phone shut down (once due to dropping it, another time because it ran out of battery) Locus resumed track recording after the phone was powered back on.

Now my question is: how would I best do this on purpose? Pause recording, shut down the phone and resume after powering back on?


Your suggestions will be much appreciated!
