The “stationary” segment alway come back to the “taxi” event even if I assign it to the previous place visit.
Hi @extrawdw!
This is a common problem, unfortunately. It will be because the stationary samples fall outside the “gravity well” of the visit you’re trying to assign them to, so they keep getting pushed back out into the adjacent trip item (ie the taxi ride).
You can hopefully partially work around it by tapping on the stationary segment and choosing “Slit segment”, then splitting in half, with second half taxi, first half stationary. Then you can try assigning that half portion to the visit instead of the whole.
With some fiddling like that you can usually get it into an acceptable state, though not always.
The other workaround is to assign that stationary segment to a different place than the previous visit. For example it might represent a bunch of recorded data in a hotel lobby or building carpark or some such. By creating a new place (eg “Parking”) and assigning it to that you can avoid the problem of it falling outside of the previous visit’s gravity well.
I often do this for parking and lobbies etc. If that’s genuinely what the data represents then it ultimately means you get a more accurate and detailed timeline.
Though sometimes it just represents badly aligned location data - iPhones don’t get everything right, and there’s only so much they can do in terms of location data accuracy in some cases. So if the data really does just represent a bit of annoying drift and not something genuine, you’re stuck with trying the first “split segment” workaround and hoping you can get it mostly sensible that way.
