I would think the best setup for a powered GPS tracker would be a high Interval setting (10 minutes), with a low Distance and Angle setting.
On a phone, however, am I correct in assuming that the Distance and Angle settings would result in very high battery utilization?

It looks like with Distance or Angle turned on, the GPS radio is active all the time, with Traccar polling every 1 second.
Distance/Angle, then, seem like they would be for high power, low data usage devices. Do I have that right?
My use case is a fleet of personal phones that are indoors, outdoors, in cars, etc. I can imagine complex algorithms for switching between frequent GPS fixes and longer interval Wifi/cell fixes. But a simpler solution would be a "plugged in" and "unplugged" profile; If you're plugged in (presumably in a car) you should rely on GPS, update more often.
Is there any plan to perhaps have such a thing as profiles for this purpose?
Are you aware of anyone developing a Tasker plugin that might be able to modify the Traccar client config in this way?
Though... it dawns on me that one could probably build a Traccar client of sorts within Tasker itself... hmmm...
To determine distance and/or angle Traccar Client needs to keep GPS ON all the time, so power usage would be higher than just regular interval reporting.
If you have some feature suggestions I would recommend using GitHub.
