Cell Tower Jump #38

Open Solar-Simon opened 2 months ago

Hi there, I use Phonetrack since long time. I have installed it on my regular phone and keep it running all the time, for location history.

In the beginning I compared phonetrack with GPSlogger. Phonetrack won because of Nextcloud integration and sms-keyword. Unfortunately in the main application, tracking the phone, GPSlogger was better.

With Phonetrack I always do have those jumps to the cell towers. With GPSLogger I don't have. I was always hoping for a update to change behaviour, or to filter the jumps.

Since some time I run them parallel again, Phonetrack and GPSlogger to compare. Phonetrack tracks are often covered with jumps to cell towers.

See one example here. We were out hiking. Phonetrack: grafik

GPSlogger: grafik

Is there an option I should adjust?
