ECM data used for trips is saved every time you connect and disconnect from the adapter. This
allows you to start and end a trip even if you're not connected to the adapter. However if you have
travelled while disconnected from the adapter the trip start information will not be correct. A
warning alert is shown in this scenario.
In order for a trip to start recording information, you must be connected to the adapter, the key
turned on, and the odometer retrieved from the ECM. Up to this point, you can cancel the trip.
After this, you can only end the trip.
Start and End Locations
The Trip page uses your GPS and your Internet connection to determine the Start and End
locations. GPS data provides the geo-coordinates (latitude and longitude) and the Internet
provides the city and state. Without both GPS data and the Internet, your Start and End locations
cannot be determined and the App will alert you.
While your trip is in progress, your location is monitored for any changes in order to show your
current location. If the App cannot determine your location due to lack of GPS or Internet data,
your current location will show 'NA'.
If you are having difficulties with your locations using GPS, you can enter them manually. The App
will detect this and not try to automatically update the location. You can also turn off GPS data
either in Settings or for the individual trip.
