VYTL How-to V

Track a run or walk

Live GPS for runs, walks, hikes and rides outdoors. A live timer for the treadmill, the pool and everything else indoors. Free on every plan.

Outdoors, with GPS

  1. On the Train tab, tap Log cardio and pick an activity, such as an outdoor run, walk, hike or ride.
  2. Tap Start Tracking. The first time, iOS asks to let VYTL use your location.
  3. Your route draws on the map as you move, with your time and distance below it. Once tracking has started you can lock your phone.
  4. When you stop moving, tracking can pause on its own and pick up again when you move.
  5. To finish, pause, then tap Finish.

Indoors

Pick a treadmill, bike, rower, swim, class or studio session from Log cardio, then tap Start Live Session for a live timer.

A session you already did

Below the start button, fill in the duration, effort and details instead, then save. This works for outdoor and indoor activities alike.

Where your route is kept

VYTL keeps your GPS route on your iPhone and never sends it to VYTL's servers. It backs up the summary of the session (the activity, time, distance and calories) to your account, never the route itself. If Save VYTL workouts to Apple Health is on, the workout and its route also go to Apple Health.
