Understand a trip without a route line

Define the outcome

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.

Three checks to complete

The current trip model is a summary rather than a stored breadcrumb track.

• Open distance and timing
• Read the start and end context
• Use a separate route tool if needed

Final review

A user expects a GPX-style trace after recording. This is an illustrative scenario, not measured field-test evidence.

When you stop, save the session and open its trip detail before exporting or deleting anything. Check the date, duration, vehicle and label. A saved summary helps you remember an outing, but it is not proof that every metre was observed. Keep your own context for interruptions, and use an appropriate independent record when a measurement has formal consequences.
