MapMyRide
Hello! I wanted to ask this here because I am uncertain about this topic
I have been using MapMyRide for a long time, and I have a question about pausing during a workout. Say, if I need to take a ferry or train or bus somewhere and ride to that point. I seem to remember that if I pause the ride in MMR, then take a bus or ferry to the point I want to start again, when I un-pause, the app will draw a straight line between the start of the pause and the point where I resume. But if I remember correctly, it will add the miles, which I DO NOT want to happen. Is there a way to make sure that even with the line drawn between the two points, MMR will NOT count the miles I was sitting on my butt on the bus/ferry? In the past, my solution was to create multiple rides, where I would end my run, then start a new one when I began again. Which I would prefer NOT to do.
Thanks all!

To answer my own question, in case anyone is interested in this, I created a ticket with Map My Ride tech support, and this is the response I received:
So I guess that answers my question.
Thanks for writing in. You are correct about the previous functionality of our app, however, we have changed this in the last year. If you pause your workout, distance traveled during the pause will not be counted towards your workout.
Best,
Tim

Thanks for posting about this. Do you use the auto-pause when stopped feature? I can't get the Android version to pause manually when I'm using the auto-pause feature, and usually just wind up creating multiple rides when I have stops along the way.

As to your question, it sounds like you need to reach out to tech support for MapMyFitness. I use the app on an iPhone with auto-pause and don't have the problem you're describing.
