Position tracker data

The PosTrackerUploader component can upload position tracker data (i.e. Hero's Path data). It is currently unknown whether this feature is actually enabled in the release version.[check]

On Wii U

The Wii U version also includes telemetry code, with fewer reports and slightly different names (e.g. bloodymoon is called bmoon).

It is currently unknown when or if these reports are actually sent.
