Hey there Anubis, and welcome to OSMTracker for Android! How are you?

      when you are tracking, and stumble upon a feature, just click the respective button or if that isn't an option, make a note, or take a picture.

Not sure about the 9/14 but that may be related to satellites
A
/** * Keeps matching between satellite indicator bars to draw, and numbers * of satellites for each bars; */ private final static int[] SAT_INDICATOR_TRESHOLD = {2, 3, 4, 6, 8};
A
* Satellites count */ private int satCount = 0; /** * Satellites used in fix count */ private int fixCount = 0;
A
if (fixCount == 0) { TextView tvAccuracy = findViewById(R.id.gpsstatus_record_tvAccuracy); tvAccuracy.setText(getResources().getString(R.string.various_waiting_gps_fix) .replace("{0}", Long.toString(fixCount)) .replace("{1}", Long.toString(satCount))); ((ImageView) findViewById(R.id.gpsstatus_record_imgSatIndicator)).setImageResource(R.drawable.sat_indicator_unknown); } So from this we can see that the 9/14 indicates: 9 satellites and 14 used in fix

      That is the source code of the application, snippets of it.

The fraction 9/14 indicates:9 satellites are used in the fix.14 satellites are visible / tracked in total.

GPS fix means your device has successfully calculated its exact position on Earth.
A
Total Satellites: All satellites currently above the horizon that your phone can hear signals from.Satellites in Fix: The specific subset of those satellites with signals strong and clean enough to calculate your location.

      After you're done tracking (press the save button at the top), you will see your "Track list" and a new recorded track. Hold your finger on it, there will be options that pop up. You could: export which will save the gpx and photos in a directory on your phone which you can then send to your computer and drag the gpx onto osm editor, it will display the route with all tracked stuff (notes, buttons, photos). You could also upload to OSM. It will make the recorded track public. Then you can go into osm editor, go to gps traces, your traces, and it will be there and you click edit

Note that you generally should export and uploa, because the photos you make won't be easily accessible otherwise. If you use the in app photo button. It makes a point in the gpx with just the file name and date and you have to find the photo yourself. Do yeah beware of that
A
Yeah don't rely on the photo button too much because it's currently badly implemented. you have to like find manually the photo and if you didn't export your track you can't even access them. And to also have to guess where the photo was taken unless you look at the file name that is embedded in the gpx file(you will see a "Photo" point in the osm editor and there is embedded data)
