# CommuteBoost Troubleshooting

### **Try manual logging**

If your journeys are not uploading, start by trying manual logging. This helps you check whether your journey is being recorded correctly.

##### **Turn on manual logging**

1. Open the home screen and go to **CommuteBoost**.
2. Tap the **cog icon** to open **Location settings**.
3. Make sure all permissions are showing green.
4. Select **Manual** under **Logging mode**.
5. Return to the home screen and tap **Start logging**.

 You will be taken to a map showing your journey as it records.

##### **What the line colours mean**

- **Yellow**: this part of the journey has been recorded on your device but has not uploaded yet.
- **Green**: this part of the journey has uploaded successfully.

 If the line stays yellow, check that you have an internet connection.

##### **If you do not see any journey lines**

1. Go back to **Location settings** using the cog in **CommuteBoost**.
2. Tap **Troubleshooting** and follow the steps for Android or iPhone.

 If the issue still is not fixed, scroll to the bottom of the troubleshooting guide and tap **Send us your logs**.
