Hi
Do you mean to create a "car" mode that when usb power is provided it turns on and works as usual , and when car turns off (and usb is off) it sends a "power off " beacon and do a clean shutoff procedure?
Yes, exactly.
But what would be the difference than using it without 18650 battery and shutting it off when the car is off ?
The difference would be in last report with speed 0 km/h and exact parking spot.

aha! now I get it, you want the last spot to be where you leave the Car/bike
what about just pushing the middle button to force Tx beacon ? or do you want a menu to save it as Last position and turn off automatic?
Are we always talking about T-Beams? as other boards won't allow for "turning off" from software command
Well, if the tracker would send a position at a parking spot automatically I would mount it fixed in the car and react only if a message arrives. I cannot trust myself to push a button each time (-: I'm so absentminded that I forget to take the tracker from my car and it drains battery in my garage.
A... and yes - t-beams are most common as trackers here. The ones without GPS and battery are used as digi/i-gate.

maybe this?
if the tracker have not moved for 15min , it would send a beacon and turn itself off ?
or turn itself off after 3 or 4 not moving positions (at 15 min between beacons)?
Yes, it makes sense.

So , what you propose:
Add a mode to turn itself off if not moving for 15 min?
Still the best user experience would be to send a beacon after power is removed from USB port and turn off. Of course there may be a way to turn that feature on and off.
Best regards Kuba

Well, nice feature that I was coding on my side here : https://github.com/richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_Tracker/tree/issue_56_auto_power_off
In this case, I can leave the tracker in place, I can check the position of my car without thinking about the battery, switch it on etc
I've just seen that this is the feature I was asking for, so I'll +1 this request and delete mine. Thanks :)
It would be great if tracker sends position on external power off and shut downs.
Scenario: install it in a car, autostart on turning the key on. Then after parking send position od turning key off and clean shutdown.
