I've recently noticed that MM Tracker (version 1.24.6) is recording (within the GPX file) the elevation of a point sapproximately 50m higher than the spot height displayed in the app.
Can anyone explain why ?
Can anyone explain why ?
Isn't that due to the "Altitude geoid correction" setting? That normally accounts for about 50m difference in the UK.
Thank You. That was what it was but I don't recall switching it on. Is it indicated in the GPX file in any way ?

It won't be mentioned in the GPX because the GPX records the satellite elevation. The geoid correction is only for screen display.
The value stored in the gpx file comes from the altitude valkue generated by the gps chip in your phone. The

Is anyone out there using or experimenting with vector maps?
I have a new (beta) version of MMTracker which is using MapLibre to render the maps so is rather better than the code in 1.24.9 as it allows proper zooming between levels and is rather quicker.
If you would like to test this, then please PM me.
You can always go back to a prior version at any time.

Ok so apologies for what is probably a stupid question for my first post....but here goes.
These days I mainly use Memory Map to plan routes and on the trail I use my Garmin Fenix to navigate albeit this is breadcrumb trail only and so I need map and compass as well. I do have an ancient PDA that runs Memory Map Mobile but this is problematic these days with poor battery life and intermittent GPS drops and I was interested in MM Tracker to see if it could supplement the Garmin and get real time position locks to map on the trail. I had sort of expected MM Tracker to behave in a similar way to the PDA version of Memory Map Mobile.
Downloaded V 1.24.9 and installed succesfully on Samsung S8 Running Android 9 and went for a test walk in the forest to check tracking ability. Track HAS recorded succesfully and can be found in my tracks folder on SD card. I've even changed track colour a few times as I experiment with settings and can successfully view the track on the map now that I'm back home.
The problem is that while RECORDING the track the only thing visible on the screen was the cross-hairs position indicator which moved as I moved but I had expected it to lay down a snail trail track line as I progressed in the track colour of my choice. I can see no obvious toggle button in settings that may turn this on/off so wonder if I'm maybe doing something wrong?
Thanks

what setting have you got for 'settings', 'directories', 'load Tracks on startup'?
Thanks for your reply much appreciated!
I have the default "Load Last 5 Tracks" so assume that's OK?
I have however just noticed something in the "GPS and Tracking" settings menu where the DEFAULT after install on 1.24.9 on "GPS tracking min distance" is set to "never" rather than
"0 metres (always)"
or
values between 1 Metre and 10 KM
Could this account for why no trackpoint is laid down on the map during recording or have I misunderstood that setting?
Edit: OK so without changing anything todays test (2nd track I've recorded) did lay down a track on screen during recording so is that anything to do with default being to display last 5 tracks and the original track being the very first ever recorded is not technically part of the last 5 in a historical sense?

I don't use MMTracker for track recording myself but...
If you set this value to a value other than 'never' does it do what you want?
Thanks....Maybe you didn't see my edit but without changing anything the 2nd track displayed as expected and I wondered whether the coding if it finds the track folder empty (as it would on the very first track laid down) would see zero tracks and therefore display nothing and that the 2nd track is OK as it meets the 1-5 track threshold?
Working now so no problem but would be good to understand what the "GPS tracking min distance" field is for as set to "never" it's still laying down a track and so I'm not exactly sure what parameters this setting manages?
A point will be posted to the GPX file if either the 'GPS tracking data rate' is exceeded (default is 1 second therefore at least 1 second must have passed) or 'GPS tracking min distance' is exceeded (so you must have moved at least this distance). Does that make sense?
Another issue that I don't quite understand has arisen. MM Tracker installed on Samsung S8 with Android 9 the onscreen compass is accurate and matches a real compass within a degree or so in pointing north. Software installed today on a Samsung A52 running Android 13 compass needle doesn't move at all and constantly points to west on compass face even when phone is moved. GPS lock on phone does show correct position.
Any ideas please?
My MMT has suddenly developed a map issue. It loads up the last map that I used but when I go to the open map menu there are no maps listed just text at the top that says “select map to load (Google zoom level)”. The maps are still there on the SD card and load perfectly well in Alpinequest. MMT has permission to access the SD card and the map location path in the settings is correct. Using the map scale icons on the left side of screen has no effect and the press an hold menu option “maps at position” also brings up an empty map list.
The phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite running Android 10. MMT version 1.24.9. Any help would be appreciated before I try reinstalling the app. Thanks.

36MM Tracker patch for JB 4.2
Attached is a patched version of MM Tracker 1.10.4 that should work on Android 4.2 , it does for me
As it is signed with different keys to the original it can not be used to update an already installed MM tracker, you will have to uninstall any existing MMT.
Naf12MM Tracker Current Version 1.10.6
Hello,
as Map Man is not developing any more on MM Tracker i decided to offer my support to at least keep the project alive for upcoming Android versions.
Attached you can find the latest version 1.10.6 of MM Tracker which has not too many improvements, but will run on current Android versions.
Feel free to share and distrubute!
