Multiple trip monitor setup

  • multiple trip monitor setup is a convenient way to monitor individual trips (stats such as distance, fuel consumption and cost, etc.) for each car profile 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 → Car → Trip monitors and add new trip monitor name(s)

  • you can set an initial distance of a trip monitor by long touching the trip monitor name and clicking the "gear" 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
