Temperature info in track

[JanickGers]

Hello there,

first of all, congratulation orux for your wonderful app, there's nothing better on the store!!!



I have a Galaxy Note 3 with temperature sensor, and the current temperature is correctly visible in the app, but is not logged in the track.

Is it possible to have it on the track, so when I upload the GPX to my Garmin Connect account I have also this cool information?



Here the screenshot

Hi Janick,



I'm using oruxmaps on a Note3, too.



But keep in mind, that always you hold your phone in your hands, the temp will rise and produce irrelevant data to the graph...

Hi Uwe,

that for sure, but I always keep my cell strapped to my backpack during my hikes

Since oruxmaps support ANT+ temperature sensors I think it would be possible to use internal sensors of the smartphone.

Hi,



Sorry, but data exported in the gpx data must be from an ambient sensor; the phone sensor is affected by the temperature of use of the phone itself.

Hi Orux, thanks for your response.

So no plans for implementing this feature? Even with an alert like "Using the internal temp sensor of your phone could lead to inaccurate readings, you are advised"?

I found out that temp readings of my phone are pretty accurate if you don't keep it in your pocket.

Consider that every garmin edge unit with an internal sensor logs the temperature into the file.
