Autostart GPX recording when starting navigation

Sadly not implemented since 10 years.

I really want this function and it is disappointing that this feature request has been sitting here for years and hasn't been implemented yet.

It has been multiple times that I forgot to start the recording and I lost data during my frequent hikes.

I know that the auto start feature exists, but that's more annoying than helpful. I use the app to plan my routes, I update the maps, I export map data, import points of interest etc. I don't want to start recording every time. It's also not reliable since you can stop the recording immediately and then switch to another app and when you come back it won't auto start because the map app was already on.

I also think a lot more sense to auto start the track recording with navigation then on app start. Most people plan routes and then want to compare it to recording afterwards or just archive it to later see where they went.
