Your trip takes longer?

If your not on a vacational sailing trip but on a trip round world, you might publish you location for longer than 30 days without the trip line disappears from rear, just simply contact us. We can diable the auto deletion for individual codes, so please mention the code you use for Geoencoding.

Technical notice

The link generated in the App looks like this www.logbook-app.com/live-tracking/?s=12345...

All after ?s= is the MD5 hash value of the code you defined in the App. This ensures you do not need to share your secret code. Because everybody who has you secret code is able to add also data in your Logbook.
