Try fewer words, or a word from the app, such as SEVERITY or LEAVING. If something is wrong rather than unclear, support can help.
FROM THE APP
Every LEARN sheet has a page here.
Tap a reading in the app and its LEARN sheet explains it in a few lines. These pages go further: how it is measured, why it matters on the road, and how it moves a section’s rating.
IN THE CAR
Your drives, on the car’s screen.
What the car’s screen shows, how a drive gets there, and where CarPlay, Android Auto and cars with Google built in stand during the beta.
Plan before you leave. On the road, the briefing and the car’s screen keep your eyes where they belong.
