Start, rest, stop and demob
After you join, your phone records positions only while you are tracking.
- Start records positions on the cadence command set, from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
- Rest pauses it. Command sees you as resting, not dropped off.
- Stop ends tracking until you start again.
- Demob leaves the incident.
Command can start or stop tracking for you too. Positions taken with no signal wait on the phone and send when any link returns. See Positions waiting to send.
Keep the Track screen open while you track. A locked phone pauses GPS in the browser. See Why a locked phone pauses GPS.
