One good walk. A whole lot of possibility.

Select “This week” or “All time” to see your footprint build.

Your routes, remembered.

GPS route history keeps a record of the streets you actually walked.

Your footprint, visible.

See coverage across your campaigns and plan where to go next.

Your team, connected.

Follow crew activity and coverage in one shared workflow.

GPS tracks the delivery route. Door counts are estimates; location alone doesn’t prove a flyer reached each doorstep.

Start the shift. Keep the phone in your pocket.

The record should follow the work and stay out of its way. Tracking is built around the lifecycle of a real walk, and every shift moves through the same six states.

  1. 1 Pick

    Choose your campaign and assigned territory. A planned route can appear on the map as a guide.

  2. 2 Head to start

    If you are away from the start point, the app routes you there on foot so the first part of the shift is clear.

  3. 3 Live

    GPS breadcrumbs record with the app open and with the phone locked in your pocket. Both use the same settings.

  4. 4 Paused

    Pause it yourself, or let the driving guard do it. Coverage stops adding up until you are walking again.

  5. 5 Route back

    End the shift and the app offers a walking route back to where you started.

  6. 6 Summary

    The walk is totalled, and the trail joins your shift history for review and replay.

Forgot to pause before driving? The guard catches it.

The app watches live speed during a shift. Sustained vehicle speed pauses the shift, and sustained foot speed resumes it. Walking at roughly 1.4 m/s, jogging between houses, even cycling stays under the line.

7 m/s about 25 km/h
Speed at or above this counts as vehicle speed.
18 s held without a break
Vehicle speed has to last this long before the shift pauses. One noisy reading does nothing.
2.5 m/s about 9 km/h
Speed at or below this counts as being on foot again.
12 s held without a break
Foot speed has to last this long before recording resumes on its own.

Riding with someone else? Tap “I’m a passenger” and the guard stays quiet for the rest of that shift.

Speed during a sample two-minute stretch of a shiftSpeed rises past 7 metres per second at 25 seconds. After 18 seconds above that line the shift pauses at 43 seconds. Speed falls to 2.5 metres per second at 77 seconds, and after 12 seconds at foot speed recording resumes at 89 seconds.72.50m/s18 s12 sPaused, no coverage addedWalkingWalking0 s30 s60 s90 s120 sSpeed during a sample two-minute stretch of a shiftSpeed rises past 7 metres per second at 25 seconds.

Illustrative trace, not a recorded shift. The four thresholds are the app’s defaults.

A record that survives imperfect signal.

The settings below are the ones the iPhone app runs with today. Background behavior still depends on device permissions, battery management and the operating system.

Capture

Foreground and background recording use the same settings. Locking the screen does not lower the quality of the trail.

Accuracy mode
HighestThe best the phone offers, roughly 5 m in open sky.
New fix
every 5 mA point is recorded each time the phone moves five metres.
Each fix stores
6 fieldsTime, position, accuracy, speed, heading and source.
Screen locked
same streamPocketed and locked is the normal way to work a shift.
While tracking
always visibleA persistent notification and the system location indicator stay on. Tracking is never silent.

Clean-up

Bad readings are rejected before they touch the trail, the distance or the coverage.

Accuracy worse than
50 mA fix that vague is wider than a house lot, so it is dropped.
Implied speed above
50 m/sThat is 180 km/h. No street traffic does it, so the jump is treated as a GPS glitch.
Driving confirmed
accrual offCoverage stops adding up while the driving guard has the shift paused.
Speed unknown
not fastWhen the phone reports no speed, the guard does not count it toward driving.

Sync and storage

Every position is saved on the phone first and uploaded in batches. A walk with no signal syncs when signal returns.

Upload, app open
every 10 sFrequent, so a teammate watching the map sees you move.
Upload, in pocket
every 30 sFewer radio wake-ups to save battery.
After a failed upload
retry in 8 sRows stay queued on the phone until an upload succeeds.
Per request
up to 200 fixesWith an early upload once 60 are waiting.
Offline buffer
20,000 fixesPast that cap the oldest points are dropped first.
App closed mid-walk
queue keptThe queue is written to device storage about every 1.5 seconds.

Guard rails

Location is collected only during an active shift that the walker started. These stop a forgotten shift from recording on.

Pause or end
collection stopsBackground collection ends when the shift is paused or ended.
Server check
about every 12 minIf the shift was closed on the server, the phone stops recording.
Abandoned shift
closed at 12 hThe server ends it and back-dates the end to the last real fix.
Hard stop
16 hA phone that never regains signal stops tracking by itself.
Permission
yours to revokeThe operating system permission can be withdrawn in device settings at any time.

A useful history when the walk is over.

A route today, a bigger footprint tomorrow. Read the trail for what it is, an operational record of where the work went.

What the trail shows

  • Where the phone travelled. A timed trail of positions for each shift, drawn on the map.

  • How far and how long. Distance and duration for the shift, kept in shift history.

  • Ground covered over time. Each walk adds to a longer-term view of your territory. Coverage areas you add by hand for earlier drops sit alongside it and are kept distinct from recorded GPS shifts.

  • Where the crew is now. A shared team map shows field location and activity inside your organization while shifts are live.

What it does not show

  • That a flyer reached a door. GPS records where a device travelled. A route alone does not prove every address received a flyer.

  • An exact door count. Door counts are estimates. Treat them as a guide to reach.

  • What happened with the phone off. Location permissions, connectivity and the operating system affect what can be recorded and reported.

  • Anything outside a shift. No position is collected when a shift is not active.

A little more detail

Does GPS prove a flyer was delivered?

GPS records where a device traveled. Door counts are estimates; a route alone does not prove every address received a flyer. Use coverage as an operational record alongside your delivery process.

What am I seeing in the map?

This is an interactive explanation using a fictional neighborhood and sample figures. Switch periods, toggle earlier drops, or scrub through the sample route to explore how coverage builds.

Can I follow my crew?

DoorDroppr’s shared team map shows field location and activity within your organization. Location permissions and device connectivity affect what can be reported. Meet your crew tools

Which phones does it run on?
