Define the outcome
Save the trip first and select the desired unit system before exporting. The export uses the current distance-unit preference for trip distance and maximum-speed columns. Choose a destination you control and wait for it to finish receiving the file. Merely opening a share sheet is not proof that a durable copy was created in a folder or another service.
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.
Three checks to complete
An old file does not change when you later change app units.
- Set the desired unit preference
- Export again
- Read the resulting headers
Final review
A user prepares a miles-based record after earlier kilometre exports. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.
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.
Quick reference
| Item | Meaning | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Trip CSV | Completed-session summary rows | Not a stream of every sampled location |
| Place CSV | Names, coordinates, capture accuracy, time and notes | Does not include attached photo files |
| GPX track | Not produced by the current export | Use a separate appropriate tool when a track is required |
