Tracks suggesion

[Steve Fox]

I'm a very new user, but here's one thing that I find a bit confusing. Note that I've used Strava quite a bit to log trips for bike riding (and some hiking), so that's my comparison.

At the bottom of the screen is "Track Recorder", which often says "Paused". I think it would be even better to somehow have the following options:

• Start
• Pause
• Stop
• Save (shows up after Stop only)

Whereas the current "pause" (I think) can also be "stop, it's a bit hard for a newbie to catch on to that.

Strava's app has a nice feature where you unlock to pause or stop, so your phone-in-pocket doesn't accidentally pause or stop a track.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Welcome to Gaia! We've heard the recording interface is a little confusing from a few users, and we're planning to tweak it soon to be easier to use. 

Pause and Stop mean the same thing to the app, both just stop recording, but they mean different things to the user, so we're going to make that more clear. 

The tracks are also always saved, so there's no need to explicitly 'save' at the end, but we do need some way for the user to say the track is done and clear it off their trip computer screen! Thanks for your ideas!
