Miscellaneous Settings

The Miscellaneous Settings screen groups several smaller options that do not belong to General, Survey, or Units & Coordinates. You will find tracking controls, default names for new features, an option to include coordinates as layer fields on export, and hide-toggles for PostgreSQL export variants.

Android

Go to Settings - Miscellaneous settings to access these options.

Tracking

Controls how the GPS track recorder behaves and whether its toolbar button is visible.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
Show 'Track Recording' button	Toggle	On	Show the track recording button in the main map toolbar. Turn off to free up toolbar space if you never record tracks.
Time interval	Slider (0-60 s)	2 s	Minimum time between track points. A new point is saved only after this interval has elapsed.
Distance interval	Slider (0-100 m)	2 m	Minimum distance between track points. A new point is saved only once you have moved at least this far.

Both time and distance intervals must be satisfied before a new point is recorded, which keeps your track reasonably dense without overwhelming storage during long surveys.

Export coordinates as fields

Default: Off

When enabled, point layer exports include additional coordinate columns:

• Projected layers - extra X, Y, Z columns
• Geographic layers - extra Lat, Lon, Alt columns

This is useful when the downstream system (a spreadsheet, a CRM, a CAD package) cannot read geometry directly and needs the coordinates as plain attribute fields.

Feature Prefixes

Set the default name used when you create a new point, line, or polygon feature. The app appends a running number to the prefix - for example, with the default Point prefix you get Point 1, Point 2, Point 3.

Setting	Default	Example
Prefix for Point feature	Point	Point 1, Point 2, ...
Prefix for Line feature	Line	Line 1, Line 2, ...
Prefix for Polygon feature	Polygon	Polygon 1, Polygon 2, ...

Change these if you want new features named using your own convention - for example Tree, Pipe, or Plot.

PostgreSQL Export Options

Two toggles that hide specific destinations from the PostgreSQL export sheet. They do not disable PostgreSQL export entirely - they just remove one of the two modes if you never use it.

Setting	Default	Description
PostgreSQL - Hide "Create New or Overwrite" option	Off	Hides the option to create a new table or replace an existing one. Useful when you only ever append to existing tables.
PostgreSQL - Hide "Create New or Append" option	Off	Hides the option to create a new table or append to an existing one. Useful when you only ever overwrite existing tables.
