Once you know the basics

Make the next record
a little easier.

Pause and resume during a trip

While recording, use the pause button beside Stop. Check the paused status, then tap the same button to resume.

Give your record a name

Use the pen icon after stopping to enter a title, then tap Save. Choose a recognizable name, such as Morning walk.

For detailed controls, see the Manual.

Questions about your first record

My current location is missing from the map.

Check location permission for WayLog in iPhone Settings. GPS reception may be poor indoors or underground, so try a place with a clear view of the sky, too.

I cannot find a Save button after stopping.

Stopping saves the record. Check Record List. Save in the title editor saves the name, not the recording itself. Empty records without location points may not be retained.

What is the difference between pausing and stopping?

Pausing lets you resume the same record later. Stopping finishes that record. Pause if you want to continue the same journey.

The app looks a little different from this page.

iOS, app version, and display settings can change the appearance. Use Main and Record List tabs and the red circle and square as guides. For more detail, see the Manual for details.
