Da tener presente che l'utilizzo del GPS ha un notevole assorbimento di energia e tende a far scaricare velocemente (due - tre ore) il cellulare. Per risolvere questo problema è consigliabile dotarsi di una batteria supplementare. In alternativa la APP permette di sospendere il GPS, in questo modo la durata delle batterie aumenta notevolmente. Sono inoltre visibili: - Le immagini del singolo itinerario - Un elenco di link a siti internet di interesse E' anche possibile aggiungere immagini con una gallery personale. Punti di interesse: Sono inseriti i principali punti di interesse: dove dormire, dove mangiare, patrimonio, servizi.
