This
quick start guide is supposed to be an initial introdcution, to use the
full power of Ultra GPS Logger you should consult the full PDF User
Guide
which can be downloaded here:
User Guide
You
can use UGL
"right out of the box" to record your first track. Start UGL, and the
Main Screen will come up. Press  at the top of the
screen to start recording a log. A dialog will appear to give your log
a name:
After
you have given your log the desired name, press  to begin recording.
The button
at the top of the Main screen changes
to
 while UGL is logging
your track. Walk or drive somewhere to generate an interesting track
and then
press
 to end the log.
|
While
logging or after you have stopped, you can press  at the top of the Main
screen. The Tracks
screen appears (as shown on the
right) listing all the recorded tracks – in this case, there
is only the Demo_Trip
log recorded above.
Under
Demo_Trip
you will
find information about the Demo_Trip
log, such as the file sizes, the distance traveled, and other
information which will be covered in the more detailed sections to
follow. For now, press the Demo_Trip
area and the Track Action menu appears.

For
this quick start, we are only going to View the track. However, as will
be explained in more detail below, this is where you can send it, move
it, open it, delete it, or rename it.
Click
on View,
and the Map window will appear showing the recorded track. Your track
can be shown online using Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Open Street Maps
(OSM). If offline, you can use Mapsforge
maps (which are based on OSM maps) that you previously downloaded.

The
track starts at the green flag and moves in a clockwise loop to the
final flag where logging was stopped.
To
view the track in Google Earth (you must have Google Earth
installed on your device for this), from the Map display, tap  at the top left to go back
to the Main Screen, then tap
 and then the area of Demo_Track, to re-open the
Tracks menu.
Tap 'Open With' and select Google Earth. UGL will launch Google Earth
which will then zoom into the area of the track itself to show it.
Send/Publish is where you email the
track, send it to Dropbox
or other cloud storage, or otherwise send the log somewhere.
These
and other options on the Tracks Menu will be explained in more detail
below.
|
And
that's
it for the quick start, and that's all you really have to know to begin
using
UGL to record your travels and view the recorded log. In the full User Guide, each feature and option of UGL will be explained in detail,
to allow
you to utilize the full power of the app.
In case you encounter issues with aborted logs or you are missing a lot
of positions in your logs, please check out the energy saving settings of your device. Help with energy saving settings
