Battery and safety guidance
Because RouteHistory relies on the iPhone’s GPS hardware for tracking, it can increase battery drain. Use power-saving strategies if you plan long recording sessions. Do not operate a vehicle while interacting with the app — always follow local laws and prioritize safety.
