Tiles without ticks look empty and vice versa. For moves, sign in restores the logbook while areas need fresh downloads. Export GPX for critical routes on remote trips. Shared phones should use separate logins, since ticks merge messily across partners on one account. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.
