Settings

The Settings page is divided into main categories:

01 settings
Figure 1. The settings view.

GPS Settings

02 gps
Figure 2. The GPS settings view.

In the GPS preferences it is possible to

  • define the time interval for taking a point when in logging mode. This is the primary filter for location.

  • define the minimum distance in meters, the current GPS location must be from the previous GPS saved point before it is added to the GPS log. This is useful for example in the case in which the user stops moving during logging and the GPS continues to supply points. This is a secondary filter to prevent the addition of points with the same location to the GPS log.

  • have the Map View re-centered on the GPS position when the position reaches the screen border (useful while driving)

  • use network based position instead of GPS position. This can be useful for testing purposes. The network based position is by no means precise!

SMS Settings

03 sms

Insert the panic numbers(s), i.e. the numbers to which a status update is sent when the panic button on the Main View is pressed.

Screen Settings

04 screen
Figure 4. The screen settings view.

In the screen preferences it is possible to

  • change the map center cross properties (size, color, stroke width)

  • change the Mapsforge map text size factor (default is 2.5x. To make text bigger, increase the value)

  • enable the always screen on mode

  • toggle the use of metric/imperial units

  • enable settings to optimize rendering for high density displays

Force Locale

The locale of Geopaparazzi can be changed regardless of the locale used for Android.

This setting opens a menu in which a locale can be chosen between the available ones:
