Selecting the 'Trash Can' icon will clear your GPS Track.
You may restart your GPS Track if you wish.
After you stop a GPS Track, you can edit/move/remove the points created by the track.
You may also add more points or close the line to create a polygon.
After selecting 'Done', you will see the details of your geometry, including 'Length' and 'Area' (if polygon).
Don't forget to go 'Back' to your record and 'Save'.

GPS Tracking requires a mobile device GPS accuracy of 15 meters or better. If your devices GPS accuracy is greater than 15 meters, the track will pause (no points will be placed) until the GPS accuracy is back within the threshold.
