About Records
Records are how MissionPeak captures what you actually did outdoors — a hike, a run, a ride — so it can show up on your Newsfeed, count toward a Challenge, or attach to a Huddle.
What is a Record?
A Record is the record of an activity you've recorded — a single session, like a hike or a run, with details such as distance, duration, and route. See About Activities for how activity types shape what gets recorded. Records can be created in two ways:
- Recorded in the app — start a recording directly in MissionPeak using your device's GPS.
- Synced from a connected service — imported automatically from Apple Health or Google Health Connect once connected. See About Devices & Services.
However it's created, a Record can turn into an Activity Card — a Record shared to your Newsfeed with maps, stats, and photos.
Key Features of Records
