Sessions that keep the full story
Record a foreground GPS track from the app, import GPX, TCX, or FIT files when you use another tracker, review track insights for speed runs, planing or glide, route coverage, wind-relative legs, stops, and turns, export GPX from saved sessions, and place photos back on the track map when their capture time matches the GPS log.
