The copyright holder and developer are not responsible for the outcomes of using this application. Upon first GPS use, allow location services when prompted. Be aware that continuous GPS use drains the battery; for emergency communication devices, carry a spare battery. An easy-to-understand explanation of the navigation function is available in PDF format at https://www.kashmir3d.com/online/superdemapp/superdem_navi.pdf. Note that some smartphones may interrupt or fail to record tracks due to power-saving features that close background apps, a common issue across various apps. Temporarily keeping the screen on may help, but it's not a definitive solution.
