Lap Distance: used with LapbyDistance selection. Distance is in watch units (mi or km).
GPS On/OFF*. Set to off for indoor skating. (* indoor skating setting)
*Use Stride Length: (Garmin Run, Garmin Walk, Custom) Recommend Custom
*Custom Stride length Value in Millimeters (Typical is 950-1150 mm) Certain watches require FootPod (IQ 1.0 watches) if value is zero for indoor speed and distance, then a footpod is required.

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
How your laps will look.
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.
