Start a Tracklog

Start a tracklog when you want OMN4 to record where you have been. Tracklog recording is a mobile workflow, so do this on iOS or Android before you set off.

Before You Start

Allow OMN4 to use location services.
For background recording, allow Android Allow all the time or iOS Always location permission when OMN4 asks.
Download maps for offline use if signal may be poor.
Check Settings > GPS if you want to choose the folder used for the saved tracklog.

Start Recording

Open the map on your phone or tablet.
Turn GPS on if it is not already active.
Open the map action menu.
Choose Start Tracklog.

OMN4 then begins recording. OMN4 manages point selection automatically, so you do not need to choose a distance or time interval before starting.

While Recording

GPS changes to a tracklog state.
OMN4 keeps using live location.
Dragging the map can stop automatic centring, but recording continues.
If the map is no longer centred on you, tap GPS to recentre.

Where The Tracklog Goes

OMN4 saves the tracklog into the folder named in Settings > GPS. The default is usually a tracklogs folder, but you can change the folder before you record.

Before A Long Day Out

Confirm GPS permission is allowed.
Confirm background recording permission is set correctly if you plan to lock the screen.
Confirm maps are available offline if signal may be poor.
Test the first few minutes of recording before you leave coverage behind.
