Real Time Location vs Recorded Location
Some confusion exists over the difference between the realtime and recorded journey
locations. Realtime locations are considered temporary by the web site, and only
appear on the map for a short period of time (typically 24-48 hours), they serve
no purpose other than to let people know where you are whilst on the move. Realtime
locations are created automatically by the Navvygator
software as your boat moves (assuming a 3G connection to the Internet is available).
Realtime locations are not possible using either the manual recording or GPX upload
functions.
Once you have finished your journey in Navvygator, the recording will be uploaded
to this website and will then be shown in the various 'My Journey' pages along with
the statistics for the journey. The map will then show your location based on the
latest recorded journey rather than real time position.
