Smart Beaconing

[Tom Russell]

Hello.  This may have been previously discussed.  Is Smart Beaconing on the horizon for this application?  

Thank you!

I don't know if I'll implement the precise, trademarked Smart Beaconing
(TM) version (I believe there's a license fee involved).

The current logic does similar things: transmits more often when you're
moving faster, less often when you're not moving or are moving slowly. It
also does corner pegging: detects when there's a sharp turn and transmits
at that point.

It might be worth adjusting the parameters a bit though for different use
cases.

Thank you for the response.  I read the help section, and I could not determine what would be a good setting for just "hiking".  I was wanting to beacon often enough to plot my movement, but not so often as to spam the system.  Maybe add to the help section recommended settings for "hiking", running, and or driving in a car?  Just a thought.
