Great app! I just wish there were a feature that automatically saves your map after each trip. It would be really helpful to see the distance covered and easily review all recent trips along with details like A manual button to start and record the trip, Map overview, Average speed, Trip distance, Duration of the trip... This would make it super convenient to look back and check all your past trips in one place.
