Traces and recaps

“Outings | Trails” switches to your trails, then your clubs' trails, then MushMate's.

1. Saved (imported from a GPX or saved from an outing): who sees each one (private, one or more clubs, public) and, under it, its outings — one loop, one line.
2. Detected: your other timed outings, by trail (distance within 5%, start less than 2 km apart), the most recent or the most run first.
3. Shared: those of your clubs' kennels, with the kennel's name; public ones, without it — line, never pace.
4. Reference, shipped with MushMate.

The old links to the “Imported trails” and “Reference trails” folders of the outings list lead here.

The page overlays the tracks and gives record, last outing and progress; it compares two to four outings.

• Head to head: tick two to four outings; each is compared to a reference (with two the older one, from three the fastest, or the one you pick), with its team: who ran, in which position at the start, what changed on the way.
• Owner and handlers: “Name” the trail, “Pin as ghost” the outing the phone will suggest (for its own activity only).

A trail's times live on its page: that is where Chronos lives.

• Times: your outings that follow it, typed-in times, record, progress; leaderboards when it is shared or public. See Times: your trails' times.
• A club or public trail: has its page too, without pace, with your times on it.

“Save this trail” copies an outing's line, distance and elevation gain; the trail starts out private.

• Where: a GPS or GPX outing, a race (whole line), a detected trail's page (its most recent outing).
• Owner: picks name, discipline, surface. No date, dogs or pace copied.
• Already saved: the outing shows “Saved:” and the name, instead of the button, with a link to the page.
• No button: a Strava session (its line is kept for the person who imported it — import your watch's GPX file); a hand-entered outing (no line).
• Phone: a trail's page and an outing's review, with a connection.

The “Who sees it” card says what the other side sees; only the owner chooses. Never the pace.

• “Make public”: all of MushMate sees name, distance, elevation gain, line, without your kennel's name; “Make private” closes it.
• “Share with” a club: its members see name, distance, elevation gain, line, with your kennel's name; “Remove from” closes it.
• Other roles: read-only. Phone: “Make public / private” and club sharing, on the page of any trail of the kennel — saved from an outing, typed or imported — and on an outing's review, with a connection.
• Delete (owner, handler; “Delete this trail”, or “Delete” on its page on the phone): hand-entered times and club shares go with it; a public trail disappears for everyone; the outings stay. Permanent; a refusal is said.

The owner imports a GPX trail; owner and handler import outings recorded elsewhere.

• “Import a trail”: one GPX, from a file or a URL. “+ Trail” (Trails tab) enters one without a file: name, distance, elevation gain, discipline, surface; no map.
• “Import outings”: several GPX files or one .zip archive (adidas Running export, Garmin Connect files), read on your device, never uploaded. Tick, pick the team for the batch (dogs, surface, activity, intensity, musher), import; the list stays open for the next batch.
• “Likely duplicate”: same day as an existing session or another outing in the batch, distance within 1 km → unticked. A dog absent from the kennel on the date of a ticked outing is named and blocks the import.
• Source by source: Importing your outings.

“Export activities” downloads a CSV: one row per activity between two dates, both included (the current month on opening).

• One row per outing, race or other activity. Ticked for you: date, type, activity, surface, distance, moving time, average speed, dogs. On request: maximum speed, elevation gain, intensity zone, perceived effort, temperature, number of dogs, motor assist, source, device, notes.
• Every member: the file holds only what their own screen shows (not another member's Strava sessions).
• Missing information (the surface of a swim, the maximum speed of a race): an empty cell, never a zero.
• Headers and codes in English (distance_km, sled, snow): your formulas survive a change of language.
• Distance = the team's: a dog removed along the way carries the mileage of the whole outing.
• Phone: Activity › Journal, “⋯”, “Export activities” (every role); same dates, information, file. Prepared offline, outings not yet sent included; leaves through the share sheet — Files, email, a messenger: MushMate does not know where it goes.

Owner and handler tick rows to delete them, or to erase only their GPS path.

• “Delete permanently”: outing, dogs, results and traces go, here and on the phone.
• “Erase GPS path” (when the row allows it): the outing stays, with its distance and load.
• Explicit confirmation, irreversible actions; a refusal is said. Hand-entered outing: also “Delete the outing” on its page.

A GPS outing opens on its key figures, then the map and the speed graph, sharing one cursor.

• Key figures: Distance, Total elapsed, Moving time (when it differs from the total), Avg speed, Surface. A GPX with no timestamps: Duration (estimated), worked out from the declared distance and speed.
• Hover: a marker on the other view, with time, distance, speed.
• Stops: orange bands as wide as their DURATION (long break = long band, short stop = thin mark).
• Elevation gain / loss, separate, when measured.
• “Firsts on this outing”, if one of your dogs had a first: “First outing in lead — Juno”, “250 km run — Aurora, Balto”; each name opens the dog's milestones.

Below the graph: splits, dogs, what happened, and a timed outing's ghost.

• “Splits (per km)”: time and speed of each km, the fastest flagged; no timestamps, distance only.
• “Dogs”: the team as it was, each dog's photo if it has one, its feeling if noted.
• “What happened”: team strip if it changed, then stops of a minute or more — count, total time, longest, km of each when established; shorter ones are counted apart, not listed.
• Ghost (timed outing): the one raced live; gap at the finish, five sections. With no ghost raced, nothing shows by default: “Compare with…” offers the trail's outings; “See the N outings on this trail” opens its page.

While the review waits, the page carries “Run review” under its figures (owner, handler).

• “How did the team run?”, then each dog's pill, which opens its sheet (signs, injury, rest).
• The phone's rules; a late review dates injuries and rest on the day of the run.
• “Finish the review” saves it; a finished review is not redone, but each dog's signs can be corrected afterwards: “Correct the dogs' review”, in the “Dogs” card (training; clearing every sign sets a dog back to “All good”).
• Race: same review, rest from the day of the review (a race can last several days).
• Finding it: in the Statistics calendar, a yellow dot in the corner of the day (“Pending review” under the grid); a day with several outings says it on the outing's row. On the phone, the outing's row carries the “To complete” chip all through the Journal, and the row of chips at the top gathers them; the dot stays in the calendar. Tap the row: the review opens. The dot goes out once the review is done or abandoned; it never comes on an activity without traction, nor on the 14-day strip.

Owner and handler correct what the capture got wrong, and say who was driving, with which equipment.

• “Correct”: surface, rig, intensity zone, temperature, how it felt, notes.
• “Musher” (“Designate”, “Change”): weight used = the one in the person's settings when designated.
• “Equipment” (“Choose”, “Change”): a sled, quad, bike or scooter in service; its km count for it, no longer for the one it replaces.

“Correct the team” adds or removes a dog that was missed; “Correct the places” puts it back in place.

• Places: the start is corrected on the drawn line (tap a place then a dog, or drag it; dropped on a dog, it swaps; a free place stays free), each change on the trail dog by dog; the run's load is recomputed.
• No line (hand-entered, GPX or Strava import): “Give the places” opens the same drawn line, every dog on the bench: nothing is guessed, you place them.
• Next start on the phone: a removed dog is not proposed, an added dog is, in its usual place.

“Correct the measurements” declares distance, moving time, elevation gain; “Trim the run” removes the hitching time, for good.

• “Correct the measurements” (GPS or GPX): speed and load recomputed; “Declared figures” with the GPS measurement beside; map, splits, team stay the GPS's.
• “Trim the run” (phone GPS outing already sent): removes the dead time of hitching and unhitching, if the website sees at least a minute at one end (the phone review's rule).
• Three cards — “Remove nothing”, “Keep the action”, “Remove only the hitching” — show their figures; a confirmation states time and distance removed.
• The cut is final: map, splits, stops start at the real departure; distance, moving time, speed follow; “Trimmed” with the GPS measurement; elevation gain and top speed stay the GPS's.
• Once only; not after figures were declared, nor if a team change along the way would be falsified.

Only the owner publishes; once published, every member can copy the public link.

• “Public traces” must be on (Settings › Visibility & sharing; Manage › Kennel on the phone), otherwise the link does not open. A Strava session is never published.
• Pasted into a messaging app, the link unfurls with an image of the outing.
• With “Public profile”, the published outing also appears, dated and named, on the public page of every club of the kennel; without it, it doesn't.

A visitor sees the whole outing's figures and the track without its first and last 500 m.

• Those 500 m would tell where the team sets off from; under 1,000 m, no map.
• Kennel named only if “Public profile” is on (top and bottom of the page); the page ends with an invitation to create a kennel.

With no GPS path recorded by MushMate, these outings open a simpler recap.

• Hand-entered: no map, speed graph, splits or GPX; the same declared figures and settings to correct.
• “Without traction”: each activity has its page (kind, duration, distance, dogs); recorded on GPS (“Multi-activity”, “Dogs running free”), it shows the map of its track (basemap, start and finish), with no pace or profile; logged by hand, no map. The owner or a handler corrects it (“Correct the activity”) or deletes it if it was logged by mistake.
• Strava import: device under the title, “Strava track — visible to you only” block (map, speed, elevation gain and loss, splits, stops) read from Strava on first opening then kept for you alone; no sharing, no GPX, no “ghost”.
• Garmin: where a dog's load or form counts a session from a Garmin device, the screen says: “Derived in part from Garmin device-sourced data.”

An outing's review (Activity › an outing) makes the same corrections as the website on the phone, offline included.

• Offline, they go out with the next sync.
• “Musher” (“Designate”, “Change”) and “Equipment” (“Choose”, “Change”); a race has neither.
• “Correct the measurements”: GPS or GPX outing already sent (before sending, the end-of-run review corrects distance and climb); “Declared figures — measured by GPS: …” shows, declared on the website or the phone.
• “Firsts on this outing”: last card of the end-of-run review, below the dogs (a cross closes it), and under the figures of any review, hand-entered, Strava import and race included; names are not links.
• “Public track”: the owner publishes or unpublishes, every member shares the link, only when the page exists (published, “Public traces” on in Manage › Kennel); otherwise the card says what to turn on. Never for Strava.
• “Share as an image” (owner): even offline, the image a messaging app shows — track without 500 m at each end, day, surface, four figures — as a preview, then the share sheet. No link, no kennel name; publishes nothing.
