Multiple trip monitor setup

  • multiple trip monitor setup is a convenient method to monitor individual trips (stats such as distance, fuel consumption and cost, etc.) for single or multiple car profiles used on a single Android device

  • the app uses two predefined trip monitors:
    • "Total" - persists statistics until manual reset by user
    • "This ride" - automatically resets statistics on each engine start to track current ride only

  • you can define additional trip monitors, such as trip monitor "A" ,"B", "C", etc. (each will persist statistics until manual reset by user)
  • to define new monitor(s), navigate to Settings → Dash → Trip monitors and add new trip monitor name(s)

  • you can bind trip monitor(s) to a profile, in case multiple car profiles are used; this will ensure that only the bound trip monitor(s) is active when a corresponding profile is active. You can do it by long touching the trip monitor name and clicking the "bind" icon in the popup action toolbar. The "default" resets the monitor to unbound state. if you bind a trip monitor(s) to a profile, make sure your active profile matches the bound profile, otherwise the monitor(s) will be filtered out and not available in the dash

  • you can set an initial distance of a trip monitor by long touching the trip monitor name and clicking the "edit" icon in the popup action toolbar

  • in the dash main layout, simply manage the trip monitors using touch gestures as demonstrated in the video below (use swipe and long touch for contextual actions such as switching a trip monitor, bringing up an action menu for enabling/disabling, resetting a trip monitor)
  • for more details run the "User Interface (UI) gesture tutorial", available in the "Help" section in the navigation drawer
