Apply the bicycle profile before collecting the session.

The distinction that matters

A Waymark trip is a recording session with a start and end, accumulated distance, moving and stopped time, a maximum speed and a vehicle profile. It is not a stored line of route points. Trip distance is the main instrument reading; speed remains available beside it. An unfinished session and a saved trip are different states, so the final save is an important part of the workflow.

Choose the profile before starting and confirm the units. The recorder accepts usable location fixes, filters implausible movement and avoids inventing a distance across an unusable gap. Keep Waymark in the foreground during recording. If you leave the app or stop location access, a complete background travel log should not be expected from this release.

Read the information in context

A different movement profile is not a promise that every small movement will count.

What this does not establish

A cyclist tries a route with frequent low-speed sections. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.

Read distance and timing together rather than judging a session from one number. Moving average excludes stopped time by default; the alternative average includes it. A pause you chose, an automatic pause and a GPS interruption have different causes. Note which occurred when comparing two sessions, especially if one journey included long stops or a period away from the app.
