Hi Menion --

That sounds like a good approach.  I suppose at worst, canceling the save dialog would leave a gap in the track log.  But if it's a short gap or a straight course, then the overall statistics should come out about right.

I have found Locus Pro to be very powerful, and fairly easy to use.  However, I have found one troublesome behavior.

It looks like Locus Pro continues to record track points after I press the STOP button.  It really stops after I press OK in the Track Save dialog, which may be some time later.  I was very surprised; I had been recording tracks in Locus Pro for more than a week before I noticed.  

This may explain why I have had so much trouble selecting a track recording interval (seconds) which gives a reasonable moving time compared with total elapsed time.  Often at the end of a walk I would STOP recording, go into the house, take off my gloves so I don't have to use a stylus, remove my earbuds, maybe hang up my jacket and go to the bathroom, then sit down at a table to fill in and save the track information.  The resulting track time can be several minutes too long, with a lot of zero-speed points at the end.

(I have enabled the option to automatically export GPX track files; I don't know whether that makes a difference.)

The obvious workaround is to save the track immediately after STOP, then later go back and edit the track info.

I think it would be more intuitive for the STOP button to stop recording points immediately.
