A LITTLE HELP FOR THE JOURNEY
Questions?
You’re in the right place.
Quick answers about tracks, saved places and your data.
Do I need an account?
No. You can record tracks and save waypoints without creating an account. Your tracks and saved places are stored locally on your phone.
How do I save a waypoint?
Touch and hold a place on the map, enter a title, optionally add a description, choose an icon and tap Save. See the illustrated waypoint guide.
How do I find or edit a saved point?
Open the main menu and tap Saved waypoints. Select a point, then use Show on map or open its editor to change the name, note or icon.
Can a waypoint be linked to a recording?
A point created while recording can retain a link to that track. Its details let you show or hide the linked track. Points saved outside a recording do not need a linked track.
What is the difference between opening and importing GPX?
Opening a GPX file shows a preview. Importing saves the track in your local library. You can open a file from your file manager with GPX Tracks or use Load GPX files in the app menu.
Can I share my recorded tracks?
Yes. Export a track as a GPX file and use the sharing options available on your phone. The app or person you share with receives that exported copy.
Are offline maps available?
The current release provides online maps. Offline maps are still in development.
Are my tracks sent to the developer?
Saved tracks, coordinates and waypoint content are not uploaded to the developer. Online map providers receive requests for the map area you view and standard connection data. Read the privacy policy for details.
Can I turn off Analytics?
Yes, in Settings. Optional Firebase Analytics measures app usage without track coordinates, GPX file names or waypoint content.
How do I delete a waypoint?
Open the point’s details, choose Delete waypoint and confirm. It disappears from the map and saved list. There is currently no restore control in the app.
Where do elevation statistics come from?
They are calculated locally from altitude measurements recorded by your device’s GPS.
