Tracking Tool

The Tracker feature in the Mapy.com app is used to record your physical activities, such as hiking, running, cycling, and more. It allows you to easily track your route, distance, time, speed, and elevation during the activity.

Main Features

• Automatically records the route during your movement
• Recognizes the type of activity you are performing (walking, biking, driving, etc.)
• Displays information about current speed, distance, and elevation
• Offers an autopause feature: If the device is not moving, the recording automatically pauses and resumes when movement starts again
• You can manually pause and restart the recording at any time
• Upon completing the activity, you can save the route to the Activities folder in My Mapy
• Saved Activities are available both in the mobile app and on the Mapy.com website

Launching the Tracker

• In the Mapy.com mobile app, select the option Start Tracker from the main menu
• Start the recording using the Start button, and the app will begin tracking your activity using your phone’s GPS. You can choose the option to pause the recording when motion stops, either before or during the recording
• During the activity, you can view the current recorded data, such as speed, elevation, or covered distance, and see the recorded route in real-time directly on the map
• You can pause and resume the recording at any time using the Pause button
• Upon finishing the activity, select End and Save. You can then edit the type of activity (e.g., hiking, running, inline skating, mountain biking, downhill skiing, etc.), the name of the record, and potentially add feelings about the trip and personal notes (available for users with a Premium account)
• Select a folder in My Mapy where the activity should be saved, and confirm by clicking Save
• If you do not want to save the record, use the Discard button or the cross
