Good app, just needs true Smart Beaconing.

Good app, works well with Bluetooth TNC (TNC3). It’s given very few issues in over a year of use in a mobile setting.

Only real nitpick is that it lacks a true Smart Beacon mode that adjusts to actual speed and turns. The beacon every minute while mobile and 30 minutes while stationary is OK, but not as flexible. Add Smart Beaconing and I’d give it 5 stars.
