    55== Track logging/recording ==
    66!ModRana supports track recording, diretly to a GPX file. This file can be named and logging and saving interval can be set directly from the logging menu. Logging can be paused or split, eq old log is saved and a new one is started imediately. If you entered a new name while logging was in progress, the next log will use it. All logs are saved to the log cathegory in tracklogs menu.

     8=== In which folder are logs stored ? ===
     9==== Default location ====
     10By default, newly recorded tracklogs are stored in the tracklogs folder in modRana profile:
     11
     12{{{
     13~/.modrana/tracklogs/logs/
     14}}}
     15
     16==== N900 & N9 ====
     17Tracklogs are stored in the ''!MyDocs'' folder, that is accessible using mass storage if the device is connected to a computer with USB.
     18
     19{{{
     20/home/user/MyDocs/tracklogs/logs/
     21}}}
     22
     23NOTE: !ModRana can't record a tracklog while the mas storage mode is active, because the ''!MyDocs'' folder is not available for applications running on the device during this.
