MicroTracks for Android
---
MicroTracks is an application for Sony Ericsson LiveView devices. MicroTracks works with Google My Tracks application. With MicroTracks, you can see your statistics data provided by My Tracks on your LiveView devices.
MicroTracks includes LiveView device simulator in it. You can try MicroTracks on your Android device without LiveView device.
*** IMPORTANT!!! ***
- My Tracks application version 1.1.0 or higher is required
- My Tracks is required to be installed before installing MicroTracks plugin.
- If My Tracks is not installed before installing MicroTracks plugin, MicroTracks plugin will fail to bind to MyTracks.
- You need to check on "Allow access" to allow MicroTracks access to MyTracks data. (In My Tracks Menu > More > Sharing > Check on "Allow access")
MicroTracks can show the LIVE track/location data while My Tracks is recording your track.
You can customize three data fields on three pages in MicroTracks preferences from following list:
- Altitude
- Pace
- Average Pace
- Speed
- Average Speed
- Time
- Total Distance
- Total Time
In addition, MicroTracks can show following sensor data if you have external sensors (ANT+ Sensors, Zephyr Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor...):
- Cadence
- Heart Rate
- Power
- Sensor State
How to use touch panel area and select button:

Like many the plug in crashes when the liveview is connected, shame as it was great on my old phone :-(
I've tried an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 and an older S2 (both are rooted). Whenever I open Liveview plugin manager I see a pop up window that says: "Unfortunately, MicroTracks has stopped." All of the other Liveview-enabled applications I've tried work. I bought the Liveview specifically to read a Zephyr HRM with MyTracks recording. Can this ap be salvaged, or there any alternatives?
Can't get it to work on Galaxy S4 even after allowing sharing on My Tracks app.
Tested on galaxy S1 with custom rom.
OK...its fine !
Love God forever
Good app
Upside
Very nice
?what
Very nice LiveView app that does exactly what it's supposed to do! Using this app on the LiveView bluetooth remote display works much better (and is safer) than taking your phone out of your pocket. Very easy to check distance, average speed or whatever else one absolutely needs to know while running/skating etc.
Since the last main phone upgrade...this app always shuts down. Nothing to say why. Can anyone help?
now with foot pod ant+ cadence display! u so awesome Hiroshi Kajihata!
It is under review
great
Please add smartwatch support!
Great app
Any chance.of.this coming to.galaxy s2?
Not working...
Great

The only plug-in that does something useful with the LiveView and doesn't lose contact with my HTC desire while doing it! Way better than sonyericsson's notification apps. Also a quite handy traning accessory. 4 stars, would be 5 if there was a data field for "average moving speed" and "moving time"
can't use because app said "please install 1.1.0 or higher version..."
One of the best liveview plugins
Best plugin I've used. Nukes battery but only because I decided on quick refreshes
Works great with my ATRIX
I like seeing my tracks stats without picking up my phone.
The market says:" this app is incompatible with your samsung gt-I9000." why this????
it tell me need to get a new version
A navigation function would be nice. It'd be great to be able to choose a location in my tracks and be given a bearing and distance
Gay wont open for me
Great plug-in, a map feature with hybrid and satellite maps would be awsome.
Works well with X10 mini pro and garmin ant+ HRM
Not working now
Seems cool
