GPS accuracy

Distance is calculated from your device's location fixes. Accuracy depends on your phone, sky visibility, buildings, trees and weather. Lakbo ignores low-accuracy fixes, tiny “standing still” movements and implausible jumps, which means recorded distance can be slightly lower or higher than other apps or watches.

Keep Lakbo open while tracking

Lakbo is a web app. Browsers may pause or stop location updates when the screen locks, when you switch to another app, or when battery-saving is on. Reliable background or locked-screen tracking is not supported. Keep the screen on and Lakbo in the foreground. Lakbo asks the browser to keep the screen awake where supported.

Saving requires a connection

An activity counts as saved only when Lakbo confirms it was stored in the cloud. If you're offline, it stays on your device marked “Not yet saved” until you retry. Clearing browser data deletes unsaved activities. Offline maps are not available.

GPX files

Lakbo reports only what the file contains. If a file has no timestamps, duration and pace are not shown. Planned routes (not recorded tracks) may be rejected by organizers.

Review and results

All activities are reviewed. Reaching a distance target makes you eligible for review; it doesn't guarantee finisher status or any reward.

Health

Lakbo is not a medical or safety device. Exercise responsibly.
