Hi, I really appreciate your work and I'd like to report you some issues and 
some advices

Issues:

1 I can't see the traveled distance overlay

2 the map is a bit too slow to move

3 in settings, when you choose a custom gps update speed, it says minutes, did 
it mean seconds?

Advices:

1 you may create a widget with start resume stop tracking buttons, I use this 
app very often with my motorcycle, almost every day, and this would speed me up 
a lot

Info:
Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus
Jelly Bean 4.2.2 not rooted
App version 1.3.5

It will remain hidden until enough information is collected.

> 2 the map is a bit too slow to move

This is an old app and is unable to use the graphics accelerate capabilities of 
maps on newer phones. 

> 3 in settings, when you choose a custom gps update speed, it says minutes,

It takes at least of couple of seconds to get a good GPS update. It really is 
minutes so the phone can save battery power between GPS updates.

There is a widget called "Logger control" that does this.

I'm sorry, my launcher wasn't showing the widget, but now I found it, my bad

Anyway, I didn't understand the thing about the updates. What do those minutes 
refer to? For example if I use a custom value, the default value is 50 mins. 
This means that if for example I have a waypoint every 15 meters, it updates 
the position only when I ride >=15 meters or 50 mins passed? Am I wrong?

For the distance, I can't see it even if I go to list tracks, and open a 
stopped one.

Thank you and sorry if I'm not getting it ^^
