New track v New segment v Continue

Hi

Am trying to work out the full implications of using the above three options, particularly on the analysis of the recorded track(s) by third party services like mapmytracks.

In a situation where one e.g. pauses for lunch, in the manual it is recommended to "start a new segment". This is better than "continue" because apparently at least oruxmaps can give statistics for each segment separately.

But what about services like mapmytracks: from my initial tests it appears that the data is analysed as a single track, so that the lunch break has the effect e.g. of lowering the average speed statistic. Therefore it may be better to "start a new track" after any pause?

Even within oruxmaps, after "starting a new segment", does the trip computer completely ignore any breaks when giving a statistic for the entire track so far?

Thanks.
