- Mapping - See where you've gone on a map. No need to stop or pause the tracking in order to map your path. It's available anytime.
- SMS Messaging - You can optionally send your current location to any phone number via a text message. The messages are sent every 10 minutes. If the current location can be resolved into a physical address then that will be included. In addition, the current GPS coordinates are always included. **** NOTE - depending on your phone plan, SMS messaging may cost you money. Check with your provider before using this feature. ***
- Save to file - After completing a ride you can save the track to a KML file. KML files can be imported into Google Earth and Google Maps, as well as other mapping applications. These files are named with the time-date stamp representing the time the track began. They are stored in the Documents folder so it can be easily moved off your phone.
- Keep display on - If you've got the phone mounted on your handlebars while riding you can prevent the display from going blank with this option. *** IMPORTANT - RIDE SAFELY. Feotec is not responsible for distracted riding of any kind. ***

If phone is unlocked but you're using another app then the same statistics are available in the Notification Drawer at the top of the screen (swipe down to view). After swiping down you can return to this app by simply pressing the notification.
