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.
