Auto-correction helps the GPS draw a complete route even if the signal has been lost for a while — for example in a parking garage or an underground garage.
What does Auto-correction do?
When a trip starts, the GPS may need a little time to get satellite contact. Auto-correction decides what happens in the "gap" between the previous stop and the place where the GPS regains contact.
If Auto-correction is on, and the GPS regains contact within the selected radius from the previous stop, the distance back to the previous stop is added to the trip automatically. The trip then starts where you actually were, not in the middle of a gap in the log.
Default setting
Auto-correction is on, with a radius of 100 km from the previous stop. The radius can be set from 1 to 100 km. We recommend keeping 100 km unless it causes problems in your logbook.
How to change Auto-correction
For one vehicle:
- Go to Inventory and open the vehicle.
- Select the Licenses and units tab.
- Turn Auto-correction on or off under the trip settings, adjust the radius if needed, and save.
For several vehicles at once:
- Go to Inventory and tick the vehicles.
- Select Trip settings in the menu above the list.
- Change Auto-correction, and save.
The change applies to trips going forward — it is not retroactive.
The start address of the trip is wrong
Possible cause: Auto-correction is off, and the GPS took time to get contact — for example after a parking garage.
Solution: Turn on Auto-correction with the default radius of 100 km.
The mileage does not match the odometer
Possible cause: Auto-correction is off, and a gap in the GPS signal means part of the distance was not recorded.
Solution: Turn on Auto-correction, or set the radius closer to 100 km. See also Mileage: Troubleshooting discrepancies.
Does this sound familiar?
- The start address of the trip is wrong
- The trip starts in the middle of the road
- Part of the trip is missing at the start
- Gps takes time to find position in a parking garage
- Mileage is wrong after a parking garage
