5/5/2023 0 Comments Google mytracks deprecated![]() While I realize Apple is looking at my heart rate and Strava is just looking at my mileage, I’m suspect of the accuracy. I’d like to think maybe Apple is trying to make it up to me for all those rides where Strava called me lazy.ĭo you track your mileage? If so, why? What do you use? If not, why? Is it just a giant time-suck of poking around on the app? Or is it a good way to track wear and tear of your bike and other gear like we do with running shoes? (Runners often use apps to track mileage for training, but also it helps us know when shoes have hit max usage.) Meanwhile, I have the Apple Watch health app synced with Strava and that seems to be giving me way more effort than I really deserve to a trip to the grocery store and back. and Strava thinks I’m barely putting in effort. Since my youngest couldn’t quite ride her bike on her own yet, I got a tandem-trailer. It was a great trailer but needed to be passed on. This summer I pulled the Burley trailer out one last time with the now-70-lbs-7-year-old and off we went to the Peninsula Park Rose Garden before I sold it. I just wanted my little gold star, dammit Why is it that just because the data is there to observe, we need it? Or we need it to be correct? It’s not like I was going to change anything in my life if the data was accurate. I realize I am privileged to say I don’t diet or track much of anything health-related in any earnest effort, but data sure is fun. I looked all over the app trying to find a way to change some sort of effort or cargo-pulling settings, but there was no such thing. I’d get home afterwards and my husbeast and I would compare notes and it would just irk me that Strava recorded me having a leisurely bike ride with minimal effort while it recorded him, half as sweaty, as having a vigorous one. My tweens and husbeast would go speeding up ahead of me, while I struggled behind, pulling the hard-bottom Burley trailer, our picnic stuff, and our kindergartner. MyTracks turns your iPhone or Apple Watch into a fully functional GPS logger.A couple summers ago, our family would go on big bike outings down and around the Smith & Bybee Wetlands area ( it’s fun, you should try it!). During recording, you can add waypoints to highlight important locations. The GPS tracks are stored on your iPhone and optionally in iCloud. A: To stop syncing passwords in the Authenticator app, open Settings > Autofill settings > Sync account. There is no need to register or login to any internet service. On the next screen, you can select on Stop sync and remove all autofill data. This will remove passwords and other autofill data from the device. Removing autofill data doesn't affect two-step verification. You can start and stop individual GPS recordings or use the power-saving diary mode. Using this mode myTracks automatically creates a single track for each day with the most important locations. The integrated Apple Watch app displays information about the current GPS recording. This includes the starting time, distance traveled, current, minimum and maximum elevation. Here is an overview of the main features of myTracks: Since myTracks 5 you can record tracks directly using Apple Watch. GPS Recording: You record GPS tracks using iPhone or Apple Watch. There is no need for an active internet connection. Maps: The tracks are shown on pixel or vector maps based on OpenStreetMap. A preview action, or peek quick action, that is displayed below a peek when a user swipes the peek upward. Offline Maps: myTracks provides offline vector maps for every country of the world. A group of one or more child quick actions, each an instance of the UIPreviewAction class. Important: UIActionSheet is deprecated in iOS 8. ![]() Once an offline map has been loaded to your iPhone you can zoom in to any detail of the map without an internet connection. The pixel maps also supports the download of offline maps. Track Organization: You can organize your tracks using folders, e.g. a folder for a year a folder for a holiday. Export and Sharing: Tracks can be exported as GPX, KML or KMZ files. Diary Mode: myTracks has a special recording mode called Diary Mode. Once this mode has been started myTracks creates a single track for each day. It uses a power efficient iOS feature called "major location changes". ![]() The Diary Mode can be switched on all the time without drilling down your battery. Search: Within myTracks you can search for addresses or special points (POIs). iCloud: All your tracks and the folder structure is synchronized between all your Apple device, both iOS and macOS. Apple Watch: myTracks contains an Apple Watch App with quick access to all major features and information of your recording. It can also be used for direct track recording.
