A final export quality checklist

The field task

For records you intend to retain, use a clear filename or enclosing folder and inspect a few rows after the transfer. Keep the unedited export as a reference before sorting, rounding or adding calculations. The exported file is outside the app’s encrypted database and may be copied by the destination you select. Share only the rows and fields that the recipient actually needs.

The current Waymark export creates CSV files for saved trips and saved places, then opens the device share sheet. Trip rows contain dates, start and end times, distance, moving and stopped minutes, maximum speed, vehicle and label. Place rows contain name, latitude, longitude, accuracy at capture, capture time and note. These files are summaries and bookmarks, not a breadcrumb track of every location sample.

A repeatable sequence

A successful share flow does not validate every later spreadsheet calculation.

• Open it outside Waymark
• Read headers and sample rows
• Confirm the intended destination retained it

After the session

A user finishes a personal records review. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.

Open the resulting CSV and read its headers before using a spreadsheet formula. Distance may be in kilometres or miles and the speed header identifies the chosen unit. Place coordinates are written to six decimal places, while the separate accuracy column preserves the capture uncertainty. A tidy decimal string is a formatting choice and must not be treated as a promise of six-decimal-place positional accuracy.
