Track recording starts too easily #104

Closed hungerburg closed 4 years ago

Track recording starts with a short touch on the Tracks icon - That can happen accidentally, and as recording is battery intensive, that is too easy. Better would be, in my opinion, to require a long touch for recording, and a short touch for tracks list. That would be more consistent with the places feature too, wouldn't it?

In the mean time, my morning alarm once failed on me, because Trekarta sucked dry all the battery busily recording standstill while idling on the desk - In the end, the front page trekarta.info need no rewrite neither :)

May be it's a good idea to warn user on low battery.

Andrey, That would not have helped me then, because I was asleep.

PS: I think, a Low-Bat warning is up to the OS. Still, apps should behave in a way to make it not too easy to get there by accident. A long press to start recording goes that way and fits good with the places button behaviour too.
