Auto-stop track recording

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From a user:
I routinely forget to stop recording my tracks.  By the time I am done
cycling, I forget to stop my tracking, and my phone catches an hour or more
data (and battery usage) before I remember to turn it off.

It'd be great if we could configure my tracks to automatically stop
recording a track if we stay within x feet of any predetermined end point
for y minutes.  This way it'd notice if that get to your house, check the
mail, let out the dog, and clearly are not doing anything trackworthy any
more.  If you keep going past an end point (say you're going past the
office on a weekend but not actually staying) then it wouldn't trigger
because you weren't roughly stationary long enough.

From me:
I can think of other criteria to stop recording: maximum recording time,
maximum traveled distance, battery level (not sure if this last one can be
read easily from the API).

Or base it on time you've been standing still. I'd imagine under most scenarios 
if 
you've stopped moving for 10 minutes it's safe to stop recording. Or maybe a 
notification saying mytracks has paused recording or something like that.

I very much do not want it to stop recording every time I stop to rest or eat 
for 10 minutes, though I do appreciate the original request given additional 
heuristics to guess user intent here.

Issue 135 also suggests adding auto-start criteria

How about implementing this as a locale/tasker plugin? Then you can input your 
own conditions for starting/stopping/adding lap statistics/etc.
