For the sake of this manual, we will assume your travelynx instance is running
on travelynx.de
travelynx journey logging is based on checkin and checkout actions: You check into a train when boarding it, select a destination, and are automatically checked out when you arrive. Real-time data is saved on both occasions and continuously updated while in transit, providing an accurate overview of both scheduled and actual journey times.
You can check into a train at nearly any point in time, though it's usually a good idea to do it within a 30-minute window befor/after its departure. The precise constraints depend on the selected backend (i.e., data provider).
First, you need to select the stop you want to check in from. Navigate to
travelynx.de or click/tap on the travelynx text in the navigation bar. You
will see a list of the five stops closest to your current location (as reported
by your browser). Select the stop you're at or enter its name manually.
As soon as you select a train, you will be checked in and travelynx will switch to the journey / checkout view. If you already know where you're headed, you should click/tap on the destination stop in the stop list now. You can change the destination by selecting a new one anytime.
You are automatically checked out a few minutes after arrival at your destination. If the train has already arrived when you select a destination and its arrival was less than two hours ago, you are checked out immediately. If it's more than two hours, you need to perform a manual checkout (without arrival data) using the link at the bottom of the checkin menu's stop list.
