Automatic marker generation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Filed by daiji:
It would be really useful if My Tracks could somehow automatically detect
inflection points (or dramatic changes in grade) and record a marker when
that happens.
Alternatively, it would be really nice if I could mark which points to use
as markers after finishing my ride.

Unfortunately, I don't have a phone mount for my bike, so right now in
order to make use of the statistics marker feature, I have to:
1) stop,
2) take out my phone,
3) enter my phone unlock swipe,
4) insert a marker,
5) put my phone away, and then
6) continue riding

or do steps 2-5 while riding :P ...  Of course, this is also all assuming I
actually remember to stop and do that.

For the moment I've decided it's too much to bother with, but it'd be great
if I could just turn on some type of automatic detection (maybe even
specify some sort of sensitivity level?) and start riding.

"Alternatively, it would be really nice if I could mark which points to use

I think that this is essential. Automatic detection might probably be an hassle 
instead.

This can be done as a locale/tasker plugin too.
