Driving insights about you, not a league table

How does OrbilyLive know I am driving?

Drives are worked out from the location you are already sharing, so nothing is recorded while you are not sharing, and recording a drive adds no extra tracking. Drive recording is on by default and can be switched off in Settings.

What does a drive show?

The route on a map, where it started and ended, the distance, how long it took, and the average and top speed.

The route can be shaded by speed, by the forces in corners, by braking or by acceleration, with the moments that crossed a threshold pinned where they happened, and any phone pickups marked along the way.

How is the driving score worked out?

Your drives add up to a score out of 100, made of four skills: speed, braking, acceleration and cornering. The scales are fixed and the same for everyone. Speed is judged against set thresholds, such as time spent above 70 mph, because OrbilyLive has no speed-limit data.

The score is indicative, not evidential. A phone loose in a bag or a pothole can look like harsh braking, and the score says it has not settled until you have made a few drives.

Does OrbilyLive count phone use while driving?

Yes. OrbilyLive counts pickups — the phone picked up or unlocked while the car is moving — and shows them beside the score, never inside it. Fewer is better.

What if it was not a drive?

Change it. Mark a trip as a motorbike ride, a bike ride, a train or a flight, and it drops out of your driving score. Walks are recorded separately.

Who sees my driving?

The orbits you were sharing your live location with when you drove. They see your score, skills and pickups, and an overall average for the orbit, with members listed in the order they joined — never ranked.
