Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Devices must have GPS tracking functions to enable location tracking and logging of trips, however a SIM card or cellular coverage is not required to utilise GPS tracking functions. Bluetooth GPS units can be purchased to enable GPS tracking with Wifi only devices.

Ratings and reviews

Can't log a trip without setting up a vehicle profile, but doing that is a nightmare. Had to uninstall twice and now it finally lets me select the model after selecting the make, but can't set the year as it only goes from 2005 to 2020 and I have a 2022. Was looking at paying for full version, but pointless if it can't even do the basic free stuff and essentials like setting a vehicle profile.

So far happy with the app, it's a great resource to find tracks to someone who's just got a small 4x4 again after a few years of not having one. One issue I'm having is the phone screen turns off while I've got the map open and recording, the workaround is having the Google navigation small windown showing over the top. Also a night mode would be nice. The closed tracks are good but the colour doesn't standout very well. Also it's very hard to click on a track to review after it's been driven

Overall I'm happy with this app. The track logging is unreliable unfortunately, so I've had to stop trying to log my trips, otherwise the app crashes after an hour or two. Otherwise this app has been a fantastic navigation utility and has helped me expand my horizons. I've used it to plan trips, find campsites, find fun day trips, etc. As other reviewers have mentioned, the track difficulty rating can be very misleading sometimes. Definitely use your own judgement.
