Here is the procedure for recording a full day track, with breaks and lunch stop. Ensure you have enabled location on your device; this can normally be done by pulling down the notification bar and toggling location on.
- Start of day - Press the GPS button bottom centre of the map screen, the location icon will flash in the notification bar. Wait until the location icon has stopped flashing and you have a GPS fix (indicated by a red circle
, not grey) - By default the app starts to record a track automatically when you get a GPS fix but if you have changed this default behaviour then press the New / Plus button, Record and press the Record button. Make sure the track record status icon
is visible in the notification bar. Start out on your trip. - At lunch stop - press the blue circular Trip Time button and pause track record from the control. You can now dis-connect from GPS (this will save battery). Do not exit the app.
- After lunch - Press the blue circular Trip Time button and resume track record from the control. Depending on your settings (default 60 minutes), you will be asked if you wish to extend the track, which normally you do. Make sure the status icon is visible. Wait till you have a GPS lock .Continue on.
- End of day - press the blue circular Trip Time button and stop track record from the control. You can now dis-connect from GPS. Exit app if you wish. You've done it!
While you are recording the track you can access the trip screens from here by swiping the screen.
When you complete your track remember you can also set track category before uploading to the community site.
