Notes on optimising the route recording in NaturaList (Android)

As part of the data recording for the second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Germany (ADEBAR 2), the use of the ‘tracking function’ to record routes has increased significantly. This information is very helpful for observers, as it gives them an impression of which areas of the atlas squares have already been sufficiently covered. For the evaluation of the data, however, the route taken is also an important piece of information for estimating population density (distance sampling).

Unfortunately, in practice it turned out that some tracks were interrupted or only partial sections were recorded. Our developers have invested a lot of time in finding the cause of these problems. The reasons are related to certain (default) settings, which also vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Many manufacturers of Android phones use very strict battery optimisation guidelines. This goes so far that even services that are currently in use are sometimes switched off. This behaviour affects applications that rely on permanent background functions, including GPS tracking. However, these optimisations can be disabled in the smartphone settings. Below you will find device-specific instructions to help you configure your device correctly and keep background services stable.

We hope that these instructions will help you to save your distance/route more reliably and completely in future.

Your ornitho.de and ADEBAR 2 team

Samsung (One UI)

  1. Go to the Settings menu > Battery

  2. Click on Background usage limits

  3. Click on ‘Never automatically put apps in standby’ and select the NaturaList app

Alternative method: Settings > Apps > NaturaList > Battery and select ‘Not restricted’.

Xiaomi / Redmi / Poco (MIUI)

  1. Go to the Settings menu > Battery & Performance 
  2. Click on Battery usage 
  3. Disable the option "Close apps that drain the battery" 
  4. Switch to the Settings > Apps > Manage apps menu 
  5. Click on ’Background autostart‘ and then on ’Allow"

For other manufacturers, proceed in a similar manner (the menus usually have slightly different names) or contact hilfe@ornitho.de with your query.
