Thanks a lot

yes, in this version i finally made use of the gps filter on/off toggle, and, maybe surprisingly, it doesnt turn off gps filtering completely, but when you set it off ,it rather filter less.
Before you guys get upset, i want to say that in this version, meeTrainer logs also raw gps data (maybe you noticed in the summary/graphs), so at all time you will have gps data filtered and raw .
But yes, i should find a better way to let the user choose the gps filtering method, like a combobox or something.

About precision, im happy that it works well for you too

Before releasing i did some testing , and i tried to check the exact same paths with meeTrainer and with google maps.
It seems that meeTrainer still produce slightly longer distances than google maps, even with filtering, but not by much and significantly less than without using filtering.
I am now looking into what more advanced method to use for improving this even more
