# Track my Route

## Overview

Tracking your route draws your path on the map as a Route and runs in the background while you work.

This makse it useful to check that you haven’t missed inspecting properties.

Note that the accuracy depends on a number of factors, including the capabilities of your mobile device and Location/GPS reception in your area.

Routes can be uploaded to the cloud as an [Information](broken://pages/nQaLaful7q945ISCYKvS) item (of type Route). This register is found in the Operations module. If your [Event ](broken://pages/ylAtIym7y0EI6jro5Yvs)does not have this register enabled, route tracking may not work. Ensure that your System Administrator has enabled this before trying to use the feature.

The option is available in the Settings menu.

When turning it on you’ll need to give your Route a name (for example Monday patrol) and switch ‘Enabled’ from OFF to ON. You can set a minimum track distance to limit the amount of data.

## Completing your Route

It is important that once your route has been completed that you switch 'Enabled' from ON to OFF. This will complete the route and automatically create an Information item.

## Viewing your Route

To view your the path you took for this route, touch the ‘View Route on Map' button. The screen will also let you know the total distance you covered.
