Interesting functionality that I will definitely try out.
It is certainly a great tool to help, but what if there is no data coverage? Yes, it is true that there is more and more coverage in our country, but I am still finding myself in rough areas where the signal does not reach and which are not so far away from civilisation.
Best regards.
