Update switched GPS from External to Internal.

Was at the track on the weekend & noticed that the recent update to V5.0.6 PRO for Android had changed my GPS setting from Garmin Glo to Internal GPS, so got inaccurate readings until I discovered it & switched back.
Never had an update change my GPS source setting in the last year of usage..

Friend at track, who also uses PRO version, had same bug/issue with his switching to internal instead of Qstarz. He switched it back & issue resolved.
Checked my wifes phone & her free standard version did not change & was still using external GPS - Garmin Glo.

Wife's phone & mine are both Samsung S3, friends phone was Samsung S4 or 5 I think.

Not a major bug, however it's a setting I'll be checking when getting ready at the track the next few times.

Thanks for the great program & great to see you now offer for iOS, many of my friends will be pleased.

    Hi, thank you for the bug report. There should not be difference between Pro and the free version, but there might be a special circumstance where this happen. I will run some tests. Did you upgrade from v4.x to v5.0.6 or did this happen between v5.0.x => v5.0.6 ?

    Instead of checking the setting, you can also just start recording, and press the round button on bottom left to check the devices that are actually being recorded.
  • Thanks for quick reply.
    Haven't kept track of updates as I've had no problems, so it was just the latest automatic update of the app from previous version.
    All 3 of us have been running Race Chrono for a year or so.
    Just thought I'd mention it, as it happened to 2 people at the same time?

    Definitely good thing you mentioned it! I'll do some testing to see if I can find it.
