Issue changing to new setting

[raitchison]

Got the E-Mail asking me to change my settings and went through the steps.

Only PID on the short list that I wasn't already logging was the speed kmh which I'm logging now and of course the GPS lat/long which I don't log for privacy reasons.

Other than that I ran into an issue when I put the token provided instead of my E-Mail address, when I went to test settings Torque complained

Please advise if I can/should ignore this.

Yes, you can definitely ignore the "email is not valid" message, I'll add a note to the instructions (Torque is correct, the Token is not a valid email). On a related note, best I can tell Torque doesn't actually send a test query to me, so I'm not sure the "Test Settings" is actually valuable.

Your Lat/Long aren't stored at all, but they are used for elevation lookup and for the front-end driving mode.  It only exists long enough to send to the website for driving mode.  Additionally, by switching from emails to tokens adds an additional layer of protection making it harder to trace your data back to you.

I do understand if you're still concerned and don't want to send them - I don't think your telemetry will actually work for driving mode without it though (Of course I'm happy to be proved wrong!)

Well FWIW with the old settings if I had something wrong I would get an error but it would report success with the correct settings so it seems to be doing something.

Well in addition of having Torque upload logs directly to ABRP I periodically upload my raw log files to a public Dropbox folder for perusal by other Bolt owners. I don't have the time to manually pull the lat/long out of those log files before I upload them.

 

I haven't been included lat/long since I've been uploading to ABRP BTW.  AFAIK you have been getting the data.
