# Time and place on the visit, not a drawn path

A GPS breadcrumb trail is a line of location points left as someone moves, and what is a gps breadcrumb trail in field sales is that path story. Knockdesk is field sales software that logs visit time and place on the pin. It does not draw a continuous GPS breadcrumb map.

## A pretty path is not proof the knock hit the door

You feel it when the map shows a line through the neighborhood and Friday still cannot say which doors were real. What is a gps breadcrumb trail is the path product other desks sell. On this desk the visit is the proof. 36 pins with time and place beat a drawn line that never touched a door. A knock not at the door is unverified.

**Time.** The visit writes when it happened. A path with no door time is still a story.

**Place.** The visit writes where the phone was. Inside the radius, default 100 meters, it is verified.

**Unverified.** Outside that radius the visit still saves, with a badge. It is not deleted to make the map look clean.

## A trail is not a check-in, and it is not the walk

A sales check-in starts the shift. Canvassing is the walk on the turf. A GPS breadcrumb trail is the path some products draw between those moments. Knockdesk keeps the visit, not the drawn trail.
