argh mytracks changes

Hello;

I have a new phone, and downloaded a new version of mytracks. For the old phone I could set a default activity (cycling) and a default name format for tracks/files (I chose ISO date/time yyyy-mm-dd and then time). The new version I can't find how to set either of those options. It's default is to guess at the activity (I suppose I should feel good about my rides when it thinks I was driving) and to guess at the file name (usually it guesses at the address I started the activity at, which is always incorrect, and never what I want). Every 5th time or so the filename comes up in ISO format.

I still like the app I just wish it made my head hurt less when I am trying to end a track.

But, does anyone know if there are settings that I cannot find to specify default activities and default filename?

In my version, (Android, MyTracks version 2.0.9), the default activity and default name are under the "recording" section of the drop down menu. Hope that helps.

Thanks that nailed it. Now I feel dumb for missing it before.

Now that you've got your answer, I can hijack this and not feel bad.

Has anyone figured out how to get a Mio HRM to work with Google My Tracks?
