For cross reference, see one of my old post where there are instruction to generate debug output of online account service :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/account-plugins/+bug/1651938
This three commands in a row, then speed-up to initiate online account creation :
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ export OAU_LOGGING_LEVEL=2
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ export OAU_DAEMON_TIMEOUT=9999
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ online-accounts-service

I think pure maps allows you to load a GPX for direction. Never tested it.
@normandc
From the phone terminal,
wget https://framagit.org/ernesst/gps-utouch-tracker/-/archive/master/gps-utouch-tracker-master.zip && unzip gps-utouch-tracker-master.zip

A word of warning: if you forget to activate the terminal's "prevent app suspension" button, once the script is launched, there is no stopping it!!! The CTRL+C button at the bottom will not stop the script.
I meet the bug, doesn't appear on Edge but on Devel Yes.
I'll look at it.

Initially the script would not launch until I chmod it, I don't know why. Thanks for the alias trick, I will try it.
Yes, trying the last version, i'm facing this issue... my bad.

I only tested the script once during my trip. It seems that if the phone needs to be unlocked with a number, it prevents updating of FPS points when the screen is off.
To have the recording screen off, you have to enable with Tweak tool the option "Prevent suspend" for the terminal app.
To be honest I didn't spend much time on this, I had destinations to get to. Absolutely not your fault, but I still have an insanely hard time dealing with the terminal UI. Trying to scroll through it and use the side scrollbar is a near impossible task.
Check the new version, uploaded today, no more long list the screen is refreshed after each datapoint.
I've also add a sum-up calculation at the end :
GPX file Created : 1566872659557.gpx
Length 2D: 0.004km
Length 3D: 0.016km
Moving time: 00:00:11
Stopped time: 00:14:34
Max speed: None
Avg speed: 0m/s = 1km/h
Total uphill: 3.3m
Total downhill: 4.3m
Thanks for the feedback,
I've removed the hardcoded folder location for the python lib, no need to change name now.
sys.path.insert(0, "./gpxpy-1.3.5/")
I'm not sure why you need to perform a chmod, the file should already be executable :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 phablet phablet 3248 Aug 20 23:12 GPS_tracking.py
drwxrwxr-x 5 phablet phablet 4096 Aug 20 23:12 gpxpy-1.3.5
-rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 22 Aug 20 23:12 README.md
To simplify the start of the script, create an alias into ~/.bashrc something like
alias GPS="cd /home/phablet/Project/ && sudo ./GPS_tracking.py"
To acknowlegde the modification you need to close the terminal
PyOtherSide has been integrated to the system since 16.04
To keep display on : there is an example in Activity Tracker app, not sure if it's the most pretty.

@jujubala1997 said in Help the community:
Where do I start? What are barriers that impede UT from spreading? What should I learn in software to help the community?
Depends your area of interest and confort : community, system, porting, coding, Art etc... and you don't even need to be good or educated in that field, like me 
just learning by tweaking.
Python wise they are several possibilities :
Python get integrated into QML via : https://github.com/thp/pyotherside
A very nice python lib would be great to integrate into Utouch : https://github.com/owncloud/pyocclient for Nextcloud/Owncloud.
Welcome in the community.
@kugiigi yes it does, screen off and or terminal in background
