GPS information (latitude/longitude) is saved when you sync your device for each time in and time out if your device has GPS capabilities and a value is returned. GPS data cannot be updated from the device. If the travel time log is transferred, the original latitude/longitude values are used. Transferring the travel time log does not update the values. As with time in limits to appointments, you can only time in to travel on one appointment at a time. You will be prompted to time out before you can start a new travel time log.
