Actually, on recent eTreks, the auto setting is really rather good. It
eliminates redundant points in a track. So I think that the advice to
set to 1 second intervals is historical.

Of course, everything else is right: you should edit the data layer by
hand in the light of the errors and resolution inherent in gps and from
your memory/photographs of the geography. And download the active track
with the timestamps.
