      Colota dev here 👋 What do you want the profiles to do?

      Profiles are an optional thing to finetune your tracking settings based on certain conditions, e.g. speed above or below x km/h, phone charging, Android Auto connected or being stationary. So you could raise the interval while charging, since that usually means you are not moving. To start with you could also make a pause zone at home and at work and turn on the WiFi pause. GPS stops completely while you are there and the app will consume much less battery. Tracking resumes when the WiFi drops.

      I would add one at a time and see if it behaves like you want. When you create like 10 different tracking profiles with different priorities they can interfere with each other, so less is often more.

        Cool. So I have a driving profile that is logging every 5 seconds after I exceed 10km/h (movement threshold is 10m); activation/deactivation 0/60 respectively. I’m finding the tracks are not smooth and because point get logged once or twice in town roads (i.e. the track cuts roads). Is this profile recording one point every 5 secs if and only if I exceed 10km/h? In that case I would expect a lot more points logged. How do I tell it to log a point every 10 m for example? Rather than use time interval? Priority is 9 while my home profile (stationary) is 10.
