## What is Return Point?

Return Point — your reliable companion in any unfamiliar terrain.

Lost in the woods? Not sure which way to go back? Return Point records your track and guides you back to the starting point — even with the screen locked and without internet.

**Main features:**
• GPS track recording — record your route with high accuracy
• Smart compass — arrow points to the starting point based on your movement direction, not phone orientation
• Distance, speed, altitude — real-time statistics during recording
• Works with screen locked — background recording saves battery
• Track history — save, rename, delete, export to GPX

Ideal for mushroom pickers, hikers, tourists, hunters and anyone exploring unfamiliar locations.
