Title: External sensors
Post by: alessocci on May 14, 2015, 02:54:11 PM
Hi, I have a couple of question:

- When I use external sensors (like ANT+ speed sensor), Oruxmaps records in statistics distance, average speed and max speed from GPS or ANT+?

Can I choose one?



Thanks

Alessocci



P.S. I have another discussion here

Hello;



All statistics are based in GPS sensor data.

Getting external sensors to sync nicely can be a bit of a headache depending on the Android version and Bluetooth protocols. One thing that helps narrow down connection bugs is testing the phone's baseline sensor accuracy outside of OruxMaps.
Sometimes I'll open a lightweight tool like https://pocketspeedometer.com/ (https://pocketspeedometer.com/) in the browser just to cross-reference if the phone's native GPS/speed data is updating smoothly in real time. If the live data on the site looks stable, it usually confirms the hardware/OS side is fine, meaning you just have to tweak the background battery optimization or specific sensor refresh rates inside Orux's settings. Hope this helps you narrow down where the drop-off is happening!
