Is there any way of setting precision by distance - I thought there used to be?

The new tracking is way smart. Run a
route by using the VDR with tracking on, and using the different settings. Zoom in and you will see the feature at
work, in real time, behind the
boat, as the tracking algorithm is selecting and rejecting track points. Only points contributing to the track are allowed. If you want to see the nitty griitty code of the details have a look at navutil.cpp line 2285.
The old pure time- or distance- based options lead to huge track files, with unnecessary track points. Think time-based track, when not moving, or distance based when the track is a straight line.
I tested this feature quite a lot when JesperWe developed the whole thing, and became convinced that it does
work. Using the high setting you will get a a much better track than you, probably, ever need and a small size footprint when saving the track.
The simple interface hides a very smart feature.
But as I said, test it yourself with VDR.
