AutoLap by Position
How the Autolap by position works, at the the Activity Start, the app remembers the start location, every time you pass the start location the App will Autolap.
If you press the Manual Lap, a second lap by location will be used. And every time you pass the Start Location and the Manual Lap location, the App will AutoLap.
The auto lap function uses a the default 25 meter radius(40m diameter) circle, once you enter the Autolap circle the app will Autolap when you start to move away from the GPS Lap Location. If your missing laps use the larger radius in configuration.
Consider the picture below, the yellow dot is the GPS Autolap location. The Green arrows is the direction traveling. Once you enter the circle, the app will auto lap. In this case it will lap as you cross the Yellow dot(at the redline).
If you entered the 25m radius circle and turned around (at the Blue Arrow) and leave the circle the App will Autolap at the Red Dot
Few suggestions,
1.) The app needs a good GPS lock, wait until the GPS is GREEN.
2.) Set Data Recording to every second. This is located in the watch, under the main menu, Settings>System>Data Recording> set to every second.
