 +  * **Custom line style** - besides the color and thickness, you can set a pattern, outline or color filling for closed objects (areas). Moreover, you can set a dynamic coloring mode of the line according to various criteria:\\ {{ :manual:ios:ios138.png?nolink |}} 
 +=== Distance and time intervals and their relation === 
 +  * **Distance** - sets the distance between recorded track points. The slower the movement, the shorter the distance should be. 
 +  * **Time** - sets the time period between recording two track points. The slower the movement, the longer the period should be. 
 +  * **Trackpoint recording condition** - defines the method of trackpoint recording based on the distance and time relation: 
 +  * **Distance AND time** - both intervals at once trigger trackpoint recording - smoother line but less accurate 
 +  * **Distance OR time** - one of the intervals triggers trackpoint recording - very accurate but a lot of track points are recorded 
 +  * **Required location accuracy** - sets the maximum acceptable range of GPS accuracy for recording tracks. More than 30 m is recommended.
