Default IGCDroid : A new android glider tracker

Any idea if this app uses a lot of data? That might be an issue for those with limited data phone plans.

The data sent is the content of your IGC file. It is just sent piece by piece.

I would add 10-20% to cover data transmission overhead.

The default position recording rate is a variable sample rate which is equivalent in data size to a 5 second sample rate. You can choose the data sample rate, from 1sec to 5mins.

The bottom line is a typical selfie is going to use a lot more than a typical flight. Probably more than your longest ever flight.
