Tap the top-right , and the following options will appear:

Auto focus current location	After starting track recording, every time a new record point is added, the map will automatically focus on that point. If you want to browse the track at another location, you can choose this option so browsing is not interrupted.
Reference	Select a previously recorded track and display it on the map as a reference. The reference track will be shown as a dashed line, which does not interfere with the current route and helps you compare it with paths you traveled before. You can choose tracks from other years by selecting the year in the upper right corner of the interface. You can also choose whether to “Show labels for reference tracks” below.
End	End recording. If the track was recorded by Apple Watch, it is recommended to end it in the Apple Watch app.
