# 03-Oct-2026 — record standalone routes and preserve walking sessions [ref #151](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/issues/151)

## [build 988](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/actions/runs/37106332654) — [commit dccdb20](https://github.com/nbarrett/ngx-ramblers/commit/dccdb206937578512cabb5b8c381798088dd5eed)

## What's new

Signed-in members can start recording from wherever they are without choosing an existing walk. Recordings can be paused, named and described, then saved into Maps for following and GPX export. Unfinished recordings stay on the phone after a failed save, and discarding one requires confirmation.

Returning to the walking app preserves the route, progress and map view. The heading arrow responds to body rotation in both map orientations, and pinch zoom moves continuously. Automatic update reloads are deferred while using the app. Installed-phone acceptance checks remain outstanding.
