Stop logging when near some points

Open xandro0777 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

For example don't need it to log when I am at home.

A list of locations each with a radius where logging should stop.

Possibly "homing in" should also split the track, this could be an option for each location.

In this same fashion, it would be useful if we could have an option to not log points when they are very close to the last logged point.

Also, another option could be to disable logging when connected to a Wi-Fi network. Or maybe log once when you are on that Wi-Fi network and do not log again until changing to Mobile Data or another Wi-Fi.

That's easily doable e.g. with Tasker: create a profile like "location (net) home+1 km" -> enter profile: send intent "immediatestop" -> exit profile: send intent "immediatestart".

This allows for much more precise control over where to log and where not.

Details on sending/recieving intents here: https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger/blob/master/assets/text/faq/faq14-tasker-automation.md

For defining location-based profiles in Tasker, see this: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/loctears.html
