I have just used EO tracking for the first time. Drove from Portarlington Vic to Geelong and the map shows a straight line i.e. I drove across the water. Can anyone advise me of some setting change I can make to show the roads I travelled please.

David,
I can only see one point in your tracking profile from 4 days ago! Did you have the app running in the background on your iPhone?

I have a similar problem.
Only went a few Ks and it shows my track correctly going there but return journey along the same route is a straight line from there to home.
Ths is my first use of system so maybe I did something wrong but I don't think so.

I know I opened uTrackme turned on Background Tracking then sat the phone on the centre console, drove to Geelong, picked up my grand daughter and drove home. I never got out of the car or touched the phone until I got home when I turned off Background Tracking. It has to have been on because it showed that I was in Geelong, but got there across the water.
