Quick Places
In Guru Maps, there're a tons of objects, roads, and points of interest available on the map. But with all these locations marked on the map, it's simple to overlook the most important ones that you visit regularly.
That's where Guru Maps comes in handy, allowing you to save your Home and Work locations permanently to get quick directions to them.
Understanding GPS Filtering
While recording a track, the app continuously retrieves data from your device's GPS module, updating the current position on the map in real-time, typically capturing values every second, producing highly detailed tracks of your activities. The problem is that sometimes (specially when accuracy is low) the values vary a lot, making the current position to "jump" between distant points in the map.
Latest models of mobile phones are highly accurate and can locate your device with a precision of up to 3 meters, but environmental factors and device settings can impact its accuracy significantly.
With the GPS filtering feature Guru Maps users can rely on more accurate and reliable recorded GPS tracks for activities like hiking, cycling, or off-road adventures where precision matters.
Route Planning from Your Favorites
With Guru Maps, you can build a route based on places saved earlier in Collections. It is a handy way to save and manage lists of locations in Guru Maps, view them right on the map, and share them with others.
