Track ing ride in background
Quote from Aleksandr Vinokurov on 11.11.2021, 17:39Hi Guido!
Thanks for the app.
I'm in for counting my rides in bike/rider stats but I don't see point of taking iPhone out for the commute. Is it possible to do a background tracking? Ideally I see it like this: I'm gearing up, putting iPhone in the pocket (not even turning the app or starting a ride), attaching my bag to the bike and leaving for the office... 30 minutes later I arrive, park and lock the bike, take the bag and put off my biking gear in the office, this is the time when I look at the Phone and I see that notification from Scenic: "Were you riding/commuting recently?" – I click on it and can see the ride and save it.
If it's hard to fire up the app when I'm starting the ride, then maybe do the same trick as Flitsmeister did https://www.flitsmeister.nl/one/ ?

I like the idea and I've seen this done before with other apps. But I'll be honest... this is not a priority item at the moment. Tracking is just one of the reasons why people use Scenic and most people use it in conjunction with navigation (so they have to start the navigation manually anyway).
I will add this to the list, but it will take quite a while before we get around to adding this feature I'm afraid. Hope you understand.
Best regards,
Guido
