Every catch has a place and a time. The app fills them in; you can change both before saving, and later with Edit.

How the app fills them in

How you started Place Time
+ β†’ Add catch where you are ("Current location") now
Log a catch at a saved spot that spot now
Log a catch at a dropped pin the pin now
you add a photo that carries a location the place of the photo ("Photo location") the time of the photo

A photo changes the place and time only if you have not set them yourself and did not start from a spot or a pin. With several photos, the earliest one is used.

Under the name of the place the app says how it was set: Set automatically or Set manually.

Change the place

  1. In the catch sheet, tap the Location card. Where was this catch opens.
  2. Choose:
    • From the photo β€” shown when a photo carries a location;
    • My current location β€” shown when the app found your position;
    • A saved spot β€” pick one of your spots;
    • Drag the map manually β€” move the map under the pin and tap Use this location.

A catch saved within about 50 metres of one of your spots is attached to that spot automatically.

Change the date and time

  1. Drag the catch sheet up.
  2. In the When row, tap the date or the time and choose a new one.

Past dates are fine β€” this is how you log a catch from an earlier trip. A date or time in the future is not accepted.

If something looks wrong

The app says What it means and what to do
Locating… / Waiting for a GPS fix The app is finding your position. Wait a moment, or tap the card and set the place yourself.
Location unavailable - tap to set The app has no position. Tap the card and choose a spot or drag the map. A catch cannot be saved without a place.
⚠ photo GPS unusual The place stored in the photo is far (more than 10 km) from where your phone is. Check the place and change it if it is wrong.

If the app never finds your position: Location does not work

After saving

To change the place or the time of a saved catch, open it, tap β‹― β†’ Edit. The conditions of the catch are worked out again for the new place and time: Edit or delete a catch
