Auto-Pause

Use the Ride with GPS mobile app for iPhone and Android to record your trip. Turn on auto-pause when you want to record only your moving time. Utilizing auto-pause will eliminate your stopped time at water breaks, red lights, viewpoints, etc. When you want your recorded time and metrics to reflect only your time spent riding, use auto-pause.

Note: Auto-pause is calibrated for cycling speeds, so if you are recording an activity on foot, you'll want to turn auto-pause off. 

What is Auto-Pause?

Auto-pause prevents the app from recording whenever you stop riding. This helps you keep your ride stats accurate, and eliminates what we fondly refer to as a "spaghetti blob" in your track line. While recording a ride with auto-pause enabled, you'll see a gray banner on the map indicating that your recording has been auto-paused. Once you start moving again, this banner will disappear.

Enable Auto-Pause

Within App Settings

1. Tap More in the lower right corner.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Logging.
4. Tap the Auto-Pause option to toggle on or off.

During a Ride

You can toggle auto-pause on or off while you are recording (not actually pausing the ride) by:

1. Tapping Tools at the bottom of the screen
2. Tapping the Settings icon 
3. Toggle Auto-Pause.

Auto-Pause Reminder

When auto-pause has been activated on a ride and you've been sitting in one place for a while, a notification will appear on your lock screen to remind you that you are recording a ride and that auto-pause is engaged. This reminder will appear every 30 minutes, as long as you are stopped.

This can help keep you from accidentally recording a ride in one place and draining your battery when accidentally leaving the app on too long. Although the ride is paused, the GPS is still active and using power. This is a gentle reminder to either get going again or stop recording and end your ride.
