Good but 1 issue

I like using Garmin elog, but there is one issue that needs fixing. When you go Off Duty for more than 1 day it doesn't let you certify those off duty days. I have received DOT violation for not having those Off Duty days certified. Please fix this issue so that those off duty days can be certified also. Thanks.

Needs some updates

It works decent but can definitely can be updated especially on the location and odometer marker I always have to be writing these if updated can save time and headaches. Also if you mark persona convenience and don’t move faster then 5 miles can’t change it to sleeper or off duty which it’s so inconvenient for sleeper split choices

Split sleeper rule

Cheapest elog available but I don’t like the fact you can’t see your available hours left in your shift. It only shows your drive hours. Also, the split sleeper exception rule only activates if you do the longer rest first rather than the shorter one. Other log books give the option 2/8, 3/7 or 8/2, 7/3.
