🌏 Background Tracking
A new feature that allows route tracking even when the app is closed or background.
Optimized to minimize battery.
HOW IT WORKS BACKGROUND TRACKING:
📍 Android
When the app is closed, GPS locations are saved in the background.
After reopening the app, it may take some time for the full route to be displayed.
The more of the map you have revealed, the longer it may take to load.
🔄 We are working on further optimizations.
📡 iOS
The app automatically activates in the background while moving and records your route.
Occasionally, there may be gaps in the recorded track.
