App idea: Tracking for metal detectorists

Hi.

I use my Fenix 5 for tracking fields when i'm out with my metal detector. I have made an custom activity based on "Track Me" and export it to basecamp but there is still some limitations. There are thousands og relic hunter like myself out there and and there is some app for mobile phones (like Tect O Trak) but it would be excellent to have the tracking on the wrist.

Some features would have been nice:

- Track the route i'm walking but autostop the tracking when I stop (just track every 5 meters or so. I have this feature on my eTrex GPS)
- Save the track with custom name
- The possibility to continue tracking based on saved track (earlier tracking).
- Add Waypoint in same app with possibility to give it custom name.
- "Alarm" if you walk in the same track as earlier (if possible).
- Datafields: Used time, distance, position, count of waypoints added.
- See the track (trails?) like dwMap

And of course that I can see my tracking in Garmin Connect app/web as an activity.

Maybe others have some additional request as well :-)

Best regards

Asle Øynes
