[APP] - version 2.20.X+ (updated 27.5.2014)

[tramp20]

It appears only if 'Always hidden' or 'Hide...while' is selected.
Because I want to see both right buttons and recording panel tab,
I select 'Hide...while' and set 86400s to 'Hide menu timeout'.

Thank you for this tip.

Please check your setting at Settings > Map - control & panels > Right panel visibility.
In my case, if 'Never hide' is set, recording panel tab at left-bottom doesn't appear at all.
It appears only if 'Always hidden' or 'Hide...while' is selected.

you are right
if i change the setting, i also see the REC-button, Thanks

@eldron: thanks for testing. Both problem are known for me (also during my bike tests )

1. labels on altitude chart will need some more changes - test - changes - test, but soon or later I'm sure it will work correctly

2. correctly you should see only last 100 recorded points. So problem is that chart isn't correctly rescaled immediately, but just after it receive another point. It's fix it.

@eldron, ta-ka: we discuss this earlier. It's intent. There are two conditions to see this state left button
1. Android 4.0+
2. 'Track record' button should not be permamently visible as ta-ka found. If you have this button on right panel and this panel is always visible, button won't be visible because it's not needed.

In my eyes this track record screen isn´t usefull very much as long, as you are on the road, because it covers the whole map.
While driving, cycling or even walking you can´t use this screen with a small 4" display.
I add some information panels to a dashboard, so I can control speed and distance with map in the background.
And try to get this track record screen, while you are walking or cycling uphill with left button.
Have a look at Gyntas screenshot (the right one from http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=3919.msg29346#msg29346) 7! buttons or info panels for track recording? I have both buttons in the same time too right and left.

Jusc I think it always depend on everyone, what he wants, what he currently do, etc.

Example: I was on short bike trip. Because I like stats and I ride around 10 km on know track, I was watching dashboard. Then I turn to forest and I needed map. Dashboard was useless in this case, so I simply hide it. If you need to ride with map, I think you do not need watch some dashboard values and opposite. Anyway what I wrote in first sentence - depend on user (and also screen size of his device ). I generally do not see anything negative on new panel for track record. Anyway I'm open for an constructive critics.

Also as you know me, I do not do 'final solutions'. So if time show, that this panel may be done better, I'll do it.

" If you have this button on right panel and this panel is always visible, button won't be visible because it's not needed."
Ahh, but If you use the record buttons with a dasboard as shown in Gyntas screen, the left button comes up too, even you didn´t configure the record button to the "right disapearing panel". The additional left button isn´t needed too, if you use track recording with dashboard.
Is it possible to make it depending from settings? Default could be leaved untouched, but for me ....

btw. dashboard:
turning display (portrait <-> landscape) ignores "Resize by top panel" and "Resize by bottom panel"

edit
dashboard:
tap on track (eg to use guiding,...) first time after starting locus, "Resize by top panel" and "Resize by bottom panel" was ignored.
see clip

during last days i have recorded some tracks and used the "track record panel"
my impression:
1.please add text or/and icon so user direct see the function of "Buttons".
"chart (1)" for example "Altitude chart"
"chart (2)" for example "Speed chart"
2. while using chart during movement only the last 2 km of the track are displayed and if standing still the whole distance is visible. Is there a possibility to view allways the whole distance?
3. Is it possible, if top or bottom field is not used for a "chart" to display item name and value one behind the other? In my example i see "Speed" in bottomfield, but not the value there is enough space
4. Sometimes when i click the "back button" of the recordpanel or the "back button" of the device, i get a" white recordpanel" and i have to click once more the "back button" of the device to see the map.
Till now i found no way to reproduce it purposely

You should be able to scroll down to see the rest of the "speed" field.
But i do agree that scrolling down shouldn´t be necessary, as the value could be displayed next to the text.
