I realize that logging has dropped in favor of activity detail. However, I'm trying to find a way to have my Mini 2 mimic the tracks I used to get from InReach Explorer+. Previously, I had a send interval of 10 minutes, but a log frequency of 1 minute. With those settings, I would give me about 3 days of battery life on long distance through hikes if I turned it off after reaching camp each day. With the Mini 2, I see very little fidelity gain in my tracks (over the 10 minute trackpoint) by having Activity Detail set to Standard. I am concerned that High Detail is going to consume too much battery. Is that something I should be concerned about?
Two other frustrations with the Mini 2:
1.) My tracks don't sync as tracks any longer to explore.garmin.com maps. They are activities, and I now need to convert them to get back to tracks.
2.) With the 10 minute interval and standard activity detail, the track doesn't get a final point when you stop tracking. So I find my tracks getting truncated by up to say 9 minutes with a 10 minute interval, when the runout is fairly straight. If it would only get one last (current) GPS location when you stop tracking, at least the terminus would make sense...
While I appreciate some of the UI simplifications of the Mini 2, I find the behavior to and control of that behavior to be rather user unfriendly. Why can't I just control the frequency of the log myself, like I used to be able to? Why can't that just give me a higher fidelity track like it used to, without having to jump through hoops and convert them?
