Hallo, ich habe auch das Samsung S24 und seit der Umstellung auf Android 16 gibt es immer wieder Unterbrechungen bei der Track Aufzeichnung. Gibt es hierfür schon eine Lösung ? Hat jemand einen Tipp oder Hinweis was man tun kann. Danke für Eure Hilfe. Peter
Wenn ich in der Satelliten Anzeige GPS Deaktiviere und dann gleich wieder aktiviere, dann springt das Tracking wieder auf die aktuelle Position und zeichnet weiter auf. Dann allerdings auch nicht durchgängig , und ich habe bis dato noch kein Muster finden können, wann die Aufzeichnung stoppt .

4.33.0.3
Android 14

I guess, the distance markers of the actual hiking route (red) are gone. I'm just on km 1.8 on a trainings hike (violett) and there is no marking. The setting should be fine.

1. Edit: After 3 Kilometers the markers appears.

2. Edit: since Kilometer 4 the markets are gone again.

What have you done with the chart values?

check other comments since 4.33.0.3 beta release #52 - I'm guessing/ hoping testing ideas for a new more readable chart; more functionality to come/ be restored

What have you done with the chart values?
The old altitude was much smoother and the new slope chart looks totally different.

My read is that verified developers (and I bet Menion and company are) do not trigger such barriers. Fingers crossed.

Track chart, no zooming and not being able to center map

am guessing, beta, is only the 1st preview of new charts

Track chart, no zooming and not being able to center map on the selected track chart position is a big step back.
Speed/pace as separate charts allow to instantly spot pauses, good.
Sliding over speed/pace, line display in the upper charts is inconsistent.

Thanks for the update (Beta 4.33.0.3). 

The new chart overview for the tracks looks nice, but I'm now missing the second elevation chart where the x-axis can be zoomed (screenshot 1). That was very helpful, as the charts in the overview are very compressed for longer routes. Is that actually going to be removed permanently?

I totally agree. The zooming of the elevation chart is one of the major features I use on my long distance hikes ( >1000 kilometers) to plan my daily tours depending on the expected elevation. On the other hand I never used Steigung/Gefälle, Tempo or Pace on a hike. Please bring back the elevation zoom.

Version 4.33.0.3 (13.3.2026)
  - chg: new screen with track charts

oh wow - excellent - far more readable than previous single chart. I hope the next step will be zoom-ability & ability to return to map from tapped point on chart.

The slope chart could do with numbers on the vertical axis. It also needs vertical "expansion" - expand further to top & bottom of chart.

When viewed in the track summary, any slope (green) is vertically compressed so much as to make almost meaningless.
