I think it might be the Bluetooth device that they are using. It's a CSR 4.0 USB device, maybe not supported by Oruxmaps?

Hi all. Has anyone managed to set up Ecodroid bluetooth GPS with Orux?  https://www.clearevo.com/ecodroidgps/">https://www.clearevo.com/ecodroidgps/

I've been using Orux with other bluetooth GPS devices and it seems to connect "seamlessly" ... but I can't get it to work with the above.

If I run the Bluetooth GPS app (android) it seems to allow Orux to see position initially (cursor shown), but not updating cursor position or recording track.

Hi. I am new to Oruxmaps (and this forum), using version 7.2.5, and have a couple of questions about waypoints:



1. I can't find a way to "reset" the waypoint count ... would be good to be able to reset auto numbering to 0 for a new track etc?



2. Is there an easy way to edit the auto created waypoint number to make it smaller to display? At the moment there are several leading 0's which obscure map detail (eg "000039") ... why not truncate to "39"?



I also have an observation which may not be correct. Initially when used Orux to record tracks, I had all the available (default) things like dashboard, menus etc displayed. I had set the GPS to record every 1 second and minimum distance (0) but it was actually recording every 5 seconds. I noticed that this coincided with the recorded time displayed on the dashboard updating. When I removed the dashboard display, it started recording every 1 second.



Otherwise it is a wonderful app, with many uses for recording tracks and waypoints. Many thanks, Joff
