•
Sun and Moon information for specified location and time.
•
Sharing/Copying of locations - current, saved (Waypoint), converted and projected location.
• Support for
Shared locations.
•
Trip Computer.
Note:• Computation of location is non dependent on availability of internet/mobile network. However, availability of a network may lead to a shorter time to first fix on devices with A-GPS (Assisted GPS).
