GENERAL / Question: Calculation of moving time
May 01, 2025, 04:20:18 PM
How is the moving time calculated? Does it use GPS position or rather the step counter sensor (which i would suggest should deliver better results but this is just a guess).
Is the "sensitivity of movement detection" related to this? I still have it set on normal. I have an overestimation of pause times during steep/slow hiking. So it is usually showing way to low moving times. I attached an example file where i am certain the moving time is too low.

Currently you can choose DEM, GPS or Barometer as your altitude data source. But there is no "combined mode".
Especially phones with a barometer could use the sensor to correct GPS heights. A combined GPS + barometer mode would be benefitial for height accuracy and make height smoothening by filters (which is the current height "correction" method) obsolete.
I know it is possible to recalibrate the barometer automatically once per hour, but i would prefer a smarter and more regularly executed recalibration based on the current gps accuracy. This avoids recalibration in inaccurate terrain (inside buildings, tunnels, cliffs during steep climbing).
