GPS and Tracklogs
GPS Marker and Accuracy
The GPS marker tells you both where OMN4 thinks you are and how confident it is about that position.
What The Marker States Mean
- Searching means GPS is on but the app is still waiting for a usable fix.
- Live position means OMN4 has a fix and is drawing your current location.
- Recentre variant means you have moved the map away from your live position and can tap to lock back onto it.
- Tracklog variant means recording is active or paused.
Accuracy Ring
The ring around the marker represents uncertainty. A smaller ring generally means OMN4 is more confident about your exact position. A larger ring means the fix is broader.
Why The Marker Can Change Colour Or Feel
OMN4 distinguishes between stronger and weaker fixes. In plain terms:
- a strong fix looks more confident
- a weaker fix is still usable, but you should allow for more position spread
Why The Marker Disappears
If GPS is off or the device is not supplying a usable fix, OMN4 cannot draw a reliable live marker.
