Station distances not showing correctly from manually entered location after log is cleared

Open MoTLD opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

First, thanks for the awesome program! I'm afraid I couldn't buy it on the app store (my android is de-googled), but when I got my mom into APRS I talked her into buying it to support development instead of sideloading it for her, so I'm trying to do my part... :)

Next, the bug:

I happened to clear my log when I had a manual position set and periodic posting turned off, and when my own other stations showed up in the hub they were listed as being thousands of kilometers from me! I suspect the position isn't being calculated from the manually entered lat/long, but from the last beaconed lat/long, and if the log is cleared that is reset to 0,0. It's a pretty minor thing and only matters when I've cleared the log and am running silent to just receive messages and keep an eye on my stations, but it's an annoying quirk nonetheless. Hopefully it's an easy fix!

Thank you very much! Yes, APRSdroid's handling of "silent mode" needs some significant improvements, and I plan to rework that part in APRSdroid 2.0, which will be silent tracking by default.

Looking forward to it, thanks!
