Tap the red START button to start tracking . A red tracking
banner will appear at the Locations icon in the toolbar.
The first time you use this feature on iOS, you will see a
prompt,
"Allow Ruskin to also access your location even
when you are not using the app" . Select Always allow ;
otherwise, when you leave the app, tracking will cease.
Follow your deployment on the map, or view a broader
context by using pinch-to-zoom or panning away from
your track. Tap the purple
RECENTER button to return to
your location.
Tap the red STOP button to stop tracking.
Unless you tap STOP, tracking will continue for up to 24
hours, even with the app in the background. On iOS, you
can also interrupt GPS tracking by force-closing the app:
double-tap the home button and swipe upwards (or, on
iOS devices with faceID: swipe upwards and pause in the
centre of the screen, then swipe up on the app to be
closed).
GPS track files
A waypoint is automatically added to the RSK geodata table whenever the instrument connects and also whenever you
tap the purple
TAG button in the Instrument view. Raw GPS data is saved as a GPS track file in the GPX format.
When a deployment is in progress, its track will be displayed on the dropdown menu as Active track . All previously
recorded tracks are displayed as a GPS Track with time and date listed below.
Tap GPS Track in the dropdown to open a track file. You
can also access and manage them from the Datasets view.
When you open a previously recorded track in the Locations view, the current location details disappear from the header
along with the red STOP button and blue RECENTER buttons. This does not affect the recording of the current track. To
view current location stats or stop tracking, open the dropdown menu and tap Current Track .
One track creates one tracking file. When you open it, there will be no profiles, tags, or download pins. Track files use the
GPX format, augmented with a couple of minor extensions. A track file is independent of any RSK, but Ruskin uses it to
inject location data into the RSK whenever the RSK is downloaded. The RSK geodata table will contain one row for every
GPS entry captured during the deployment.
To save battery power, stop GPS tracking when you stop deployments.
