WaymarkDescribe the symptom
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.
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.
Work through these checks
Leaving the instrument is not the same as saving a completed trip.

Decide what to try next
A user wants to review the outing before exporting it. 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.
Quick reference
| Item | Meaning | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Moving time | Time counted as moving | Used by the moving-only average |
| Stopped time | Time counted as stopped | Relevant to the overall average |
| Saved distance | Accumulated accepted movement | Does not include invented distance across an unusable gap |
