How to select the recording interval
When the recording interval is short, the battery will run down more quickly. In addition, the accuracy of the
trajectory increases because the number of recorded points increases, but the amount of data will increase,
and the acquisition to the map will be slower. On the other hand, when the recording interval is long, the battery
consumption will be reduced, but the accuracy of the log will be lower.
Shorten the interval when traveling on a high-speed vehicle, or set a longer recording interval when walking on
a hill, such as climbing.
