Google My Tracks Updated, Brings New Record Interface, Updated Widget, And Pause/Resume Functionality

My Tracks is one of my favorite apps. I use it took keep track of distance traveled while cycling, and then upload my route to Maps and the data to Google Drive. This way, I can reference back and check my progress whenever I want.

Today, Google updated My Tracks to include one function that I've longed for since I starting using the app: the ability to pause and resume recording. I'm so happy they added this much-needed function, as the time will be far more accurate now.

  

^{Yes, I know. I haven't had much time to ride lately. :(}

Alongside that, they also updated the record interface - instead of having tiny little button at the top of the screen, the button is now large and at the bottom.Otherwise, they also updated the widget, as well as the code for recording track and calculating stats. Hopefully they made that more accurate, too.

If you use My Tracks, the update is available now. If not, and you need a way to keep track of routes and such during a workout, you should give it a shot.
