GPS and tracklogs
Use live position and tracklogs outdoors.
On mobile, OMN4 can show your position, help you follow map and route context, and record a tracklog for review later, subject to normal platform permissions and battery behaviour.
See your live position
Mobile GPS is about locating yourself in the map and route context while you are outdoors.
- Use position with the map you prepared.
- Give the app the location permission it needs on your device.
Record tracklogs
Record tracklogs on mobile where supported, then review the route and shape later.
- Record where supported by the app and platform.
- Review the track after the trip.
Respect platform behaviour
Background recording, battery settings, and permissions can differ by mobile operating system.
- Check platform settings before relying on background recording.
- Link to platform help for settings.
Use downloaded maps before you go
GPS position is more useful when the map data and route data are already prepared on the device.
- Download maps before unreliable signal.
- Check route data before setting off.
