How do mileage apps work?

Got an excellent free one for my iPhone which calculates distance travelled etc. My question is, how does it do this ? I even tried in flight mode which disables networking and gps etc but it still works ? :pray: thanks

I’ve tried that mate but it says it uses gps even when it’s off ?

Airplane mode doesn’t disable GPS.

Ah right
So would it be using my data still then ?

What do you think

No. GPS doesn’t use data.

What will use data is certain things that are closely related to GPS, such as loading map information.

No idea that’s why I’m asking :man_shrugging:t3:

Mods already told people if they don’t like my post then don’t comment . And I’m not doing any harm by asking questions :+1:t4:

Don’t like my post then don’t reply? Not that difficult :thinking:

Thanks dude :+1:t4:

That’s a dangerous game to play.

Many people have tried asking nicely to be more considerate as they can’t block you, but you’re still wanting to be selfish. If you continue, sooner or later you’re going to alienate yourself and you’ll then have nowhere to ask your random questions.

There’s a happy compromise somewhere in all of this.

This topic is temporarily closed for at least 4 hours due to a large number of community flags.

I’m going to leave this thread locked for the time being.

It’s disappointing that within 20 minutes of a thread being created there’s been so many unhelpful responses.

I’ve pointed the mods at the thread so they can take a look.
