+Track recording in Locus Map can be controlled from the Locus screen panel and a widget.
+===== Panel =====
+It slides from the left side of the screen and can be slid back by a finger or by the "back" HW button. Its content is different in the two phases of its use:
+==== Tracks recording start ====
+Here you can select your [[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:profiles_settings|recording profile]], select an  [[manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trainingmanager|audio coach]], [[..:..:functions:live_tracking|live tracking]] or [[manual:user_guide:tools:bluetooth|connected hardware sensors]]. {{:manual:user_guide:ic_track_record_rec_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **starts track recording**.

-  * **more about track**  - switches to the track detail screen
+Ongoing track recording is indicated by:
-  * **save actual part**  - saves already recorded part of track individually without stopping recording - enter name, select folder, describe the track if you like

+==== Track recording control&monitoring ====
-{{  :manual:user_guide:tracks:trackrec3.png?nolink&  }}
-==== Track monitoring ====
+A major part of the panel is filled by the track parameters that are actively monitored and displayed during the recording.
-There are many track parameters that can be actively monitored and displayed during the recording:
+{{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecpan02.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * //chart//  - elevation profile continuously rendered during recording
+You can set which values you want to monitor:
-  * //current speed//
+  * 1. go to //settings > track recording > number of track monitoring items//. The number of track monitoring items on the panel can be set from 4 to 16.
-  * //max speed//  - maximum travelled speed during the recording
+  * 2. go back to the recording panel and long-tap the field you want to change
-  * //distance//  - travelled distance from the start
+  * 3. select from a vast range of available parameters\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecpan03.jpg?nolink |}}\\
-  * //track time//  - time of activity on track
+  * it is possible to define also two charts\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecpan04.jpg?nolink |}}
-  * //elevation gain//  - is monitored both uphill and downhill. <WRAP round info>
-During the recording the gain value can look confusing as it displays quite large numbers - however, the value is true and displays total of elevation gain measured by your device. As the GPS-measured altitude values are quite fuzzy, the result has to be optimized. The optimization is calculated later after saving the track so as not to waste battery life of your device. </WRAP>
-  * //distance downhill//
+<WRAP center round info>
-  * //distance uphill//
+During the recording, the elevation gain value may look confusing because it displays quite large numbers; however, it is accurate and represents the total elevation gain measured by your device. As the GPS-measured altitude values are quite fuzzy, the result has to be **optimized**. The optimization is calculated later, **after saving the track**, so as not to waste your device's battery life.
-  * //pace//  - activity time for a kilometer
+</WRAP>
-  * //trackpoint counter//
+Controls of the track recording are under the monitoring items:
-  * //current time//
-  * //battery level//<WRAP round tip >Number of track monitoring items on the panel can be set from 4 to 12. Long-tap on any item opens menu of available features to be monitored.</WRAP>
-  * {{:manual:user_guide:ic_96_track_recording_rec.png?nolink&30}}**Start button**  - starts track recording. If the GPS is not running, you will be prompted to switch it on.

+{{:manual:user_guide:ic_track_record_stop_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **stops recording** and proceeds to saving the track
-  * **Recording profiles**  - selection of pre-defined track activities - walking, biking, etc. Profiles define frequency of trackpoint recording and required GPS accuracy for various types of activity. The pre-defined [[:manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:profiles_settings|profiles can be edited]]. {{  :manual:user_guide:tracks:trackrec4.png?nolink&  }}
+{{:manual:user_guide:ic_track_record_pause_normal_alt.png?nolink&30|}} **pauses recording**. Paused recording is indicated by an orange indicator, and the track recording button is also orange:\\ {{ :manual:user_guide:tracks:recording:trackrecpan11.jpg?nolink |}}\\ Repeated tapping unpauses the recording.
