- avoid duplication: each exported file contain a random unique identifier (i.e., opentracks:trackid)
Altitude:
- gain/loss via barometric sensor (internal if present or via Bluetooth's Environmental Sensing Service)
- shown in EGM2008 (above mean sea level); exported as WGS84
Bluetooth LE sensors:
- heart rate
- cycling: speed and distance
- cycling: cadence
- cycling: power meter
- running: speed and cadence
- support for BLE sensor training only (i.e., without GPS) for indoor training
An overview of tested sensors: README_TESTED_SENSORS.md

Gadgetbridge integration

OpenTracks can be used with Gadgetbridge:

shows statistics via notification on smart watches (requires Gadgetbridge 0.56.1 or later), and
Gadgetbridge's GPX exporter generates opentracks:trackid to avoid duplication (Gadgetbridge 0.53.0 or later).

Privacy

No Internet access: Internet is not used
No advertising
No in-app analytics
No use of Google Play Services

Only required permissions:

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: required to use the GPS.
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION: required to start recording with GPS while phone is in standby. (e.g. when triggered by Public API from an external device)

Public API

OpenTracks includes an API for starting/stopping recording by another installed application (e.g., Automate, Tasker, or Easer). The API is disabled by default to protect the user's privacy, but it can easily be enabled in the settings. Once enabled, the API can be invoked by sending an explicit Intent to start an activity.

Package (depends on the variant installed):

F-Droid: de.dennisguse.opentracks
GooglePlay: de.dennisguse.opentracks.playStore
Debug: de.dennisguse.opentracks.debug
Nightly: de.dennisguse.opentracks.nightly

Classes:

Start a recording: de.dennisguse.opentracks.publicapi.StartRecording
- Set track data: TRACK_NAME, TRACK_DESCRIPTION, TRACK_CATEGORY, and TRACK_ICON ( non-localized identifier see /src/main/java/de/dennisguse/opentracks/util/TrackIconUtils.java#L38). NOTE: if TRACK_ICON is not present, TRACK_CATEGORY will be used to determine the icon ( localized).
- Send recorded data to another application via Dashboard API: STATS_TARGET_PACKAGE and STATS_TARGET_CLASS
Stop a recording: de.dennisguse.opentracks.publicapi.StopRecording
Create a marker: de.dennisguse.opentracks.publicapi.CreateMarker

For testing the API using adb, the general command syntax is:

adb shell am start -e someParameter someValue -n "package/class"

Depending on the package and class, a complete command could look something like this:

adb shell am start -n "de.dennisguse.opentracks.playstore/de.dennisguse.opentracks.publicapi.StartRecording"

The reference implementation is OSMDashboard, which presents an OpenStreetMap map (showing the current track, incl. updates). The Dashboard API is also used by Gadgetbridge fo
