History and drive review

Viewing a trip

The route map fills the review screen. Drag the handle of the bottom data panel up to see summaries, the timeline and selected readings, or down to see more of the map. Playback controls remain available when the panel is minimized. Pan or zoom the map to explore the route.

Use the play/pause button to replay the trip. Dragging the route or timeline pauses playback. Event jumping requires Plus and an available event.

Free access includes basic instruments, automatic recording, trip summaries, routes, timelines and speed replay. Plus unlocks every instrument style and replay G-force, vehicle attitude and event details. Recording, recognition and storage do not depend on Plus; expiry does not delete saved trips.

Open History and choose a calendar date to see that day’s trips, newest first. Swipe between months or use Previous month / Next month; Today returns to today. Tap the date title to select another date. Each trip has a route thumbnail and start time; tap it to open Drive review:

  • Estimated distance, Average speed, Top speed, Driving events, Driving time and Peak G sum up the trip. Average speed and Driving time leave out the time you were stopped.
  • Routes use one consistent style rather than speed-based colors. Missing GPS sections remain disconnected. Drag the route’s time marker to select a moment.
  • Timeline: swipe along it to move through the trip; events are marked on it. Selected moment shows the speed, longitudinal and lateral G, pitch and roll at that moment, with Events at this moment below. Use Previous event and Next event at the bottom to jump between events.

Under Selected moment, the speed curve follows the selected time and preserves missing-data gaps. Plus adds linked G-force and vehicle-attitude cards; unavailable readings remain —.

A trip is kept in History only if it contains saved valid measurement data; there is no 60-second minimum. A recording with no valid measurement data is deleted when it ends or on the next launch. Later calibration interruptions do not remove a qualifying trip. Deletion and problem reports require the trip to have ended.

The replay timeline uses green for Valid speed and gray for No valid speed. A valid zero speed counts as valid; gray does not mean parked or that all motion data is missing. Selecting a moment on the route, timeline or summary, or jumping to an event, pauses playback.

When you open a completed trip, CapDrive may filter motion readings judged anomalous and related events when sufficient evidence is available, and estimate missing pitch or roll when the recorded data supports it. This processing happens on your iPhone and does not change the original recording or export. Review readings, peak G and displayed events may therefore differ from the live dashboard or original export. An angle stays unavailable if the evidence is insufficient; not every anomaly can be identified.

Sharing a trip

For a completed trip, open More options (…) → Share trip. Swipe between Minimal route card, Racing card and Telemetry card. The minimal and telemetry cards support light and dark appearances; racing stays dark. Tap Share trip to save or send the JPEG through the system share sheet. Saving may require permission to add photos.

Sharing is free and exports an image containing the visible route, time and statistics, without the raw recording. Map backgrounds may require internet; unavailable maps can leave a route-only image. Check the preview before sharing. See sharing privacy.

Exporting route files

Open a completed trip, choose More options (…) → Export trip, then select KML, GeoJSON or GPX. Once the file is ready, use the system share sheet to save it in Files or send it to another app. Plus is not required.

Files use the recorded WGS-84 GPS coordinates and timestamps, with elevation where available. GeoJSON also includes the local trip identifier and per-point timestamp and elevation properties. Invalid positions and GPS gaps split the route into segments; straight lines are not added to fill gaps.

A trip with motion or OBD readings but no valid GPS route cannot export a route. Wait for the route to finish loading before exporting.

Route files exclude raw motion or compass data, OBD parameters, driving events and scores. They cannot import or restore a complete trip. Export happens on your device and does not upload the file to us; your selected sharing app receives it. Files can reveal precise locations, dates and times, so check before sharing.

Distance and speed

The descriptions below refer to the default phone data sources. If you configure an OBD parameter to replace trip data, the corresponding reading uses that configured source. Its availability and unit depend on the parameter and connection; a missing reading is not zero.

Speed comes from GPS. Distance is estimated from the GPS route, filled in with GPS speed where positions are too noisy or missing. Both are estimates and can differ from the car's speedometer and odometer; car speedometers often read slightly high.

Deleting a trip

In the drive review, tap More options (…), choose Delete trip and confirm. This deletes all of the trip's records and raw data, and it can't be undone.

Reporting a problem with a trip

From a trip’s More options menu, choose Report a problem. In Upload trip data?, choose:

  • Send feedback directly opens an email draft without uploading trip data or adding a file UUID.
  • Upload and send feedback requires an internet connection and uploads the complete trip, including precise locations and sensor data, to private Alibaba Cloud OSS storage in Singapore. After a successful upload, an email draft includes the file UUID as a reference, not a ZIP attachment.

Both email drafts include the trip’s start date and time in the subject. Neither attaches a trip file; only the upload option adds a file UUID.

This needs an email account in the Mail app. If CapDrive shows Mail isn’t available, add an account in Mail, or write to support@capdrive.app from any email app (the trip data won't be attached).

The upload happens before you send the email. Keep the file UUID in the draft so we can find the report. Cancelling the email or deleting the trip or App does not delete an uploaded report. To request its deletion, contact support@capdrive.app with the file UUID.
