Quick guide

The basic RouteLocker workflow.

Use this page if you want the shortest explanation of how to use the app from destination selection through trip review and backup checks.

1. Choose a destination

Open Saved Locations first if you already know where you are going.

Search for a saved place, browse by group, or add a new location if it is not in the list yet.

2. Start the trip

Use the dashboard as the active trip screen.

Start tracking from the dashboard. While the trip is active, RouteLocker shows current speed, distance, elapsed time, average speed, and max speed.

3. Stop and review

Use the trip logger after the trip is complete.

Open the trip logger to review the trip summary, search the history, or correct an entry if needed.

4. Add notes if needed

Use trip notes for details you want to keep with the record.

Notes are useful for reminders, service details, addresses, or other written context that does not fit in the basic trip fields.

5. Check backup status

Look at backup status before changing devices or doing large edits.

If the app shows saved locations added after the last backup, create a fresh backup before moving or restoring data.

6. Choose merge or replace carefully

Import-and-merge and full restore are not the same action.

Use merge when you want to combine saved locations. Use full restore only when you want to replace the current saved location set.
