Route and track summariesSummaries with map and statistics; route elevation profile when elevation data is availableAlso recorded-track elevation profiles and PNG saving/sharing: three layouts, map framing and chosen statistics
Average GPS positionNot availableRobustly determine a marker from multiple GPS fixes and remeasure it later in independent sessions.

Pro scope

Extended documentation data

Extended documentation functions such as GPS/RTK quality data, averaged marker positions, terrain elevation for freely placed markers and detailed track metadata belong to the Pro scope. The Free version remains suitable for basic planning, simple measurements and common GPX/KML/CSV workflows.

Object layers and alarms

Free and Pro for online objects and area monitoring

Technical processing is the same; the edition limits the number that can be used at once.

AreaFreePro
OGC API Features / WFSOne feature service with its selected layersAdditional feature services and layers
Object alarmsOne active object alarmUp to 50 active object alarms
External servicesProvider fees and accounts not includedProvider fees and accounts not included

Device limits remain the same

GPS accuracy, Android permissions, battery rules and external service terms apply independently of Free or Pro.

Custom online maps

XYZ, TMS, WMTS and WMS in Free and Pro

The protocols work the same way in both editions. The difference is the number of custom sources and layers.

AreaFreePro
Custom sourcesOne custom XYZ, OSGeo TMS, WMTS or WMS sourceAdditional custom online map sources
LayersOne layer from the custom sourceMultiple compatible layers and layer combinations
Existing definitionsAdditional restored definitions remain stored; the first source with one layer is availableStored sources and layers are available within the other map limits

Third-party fees, accounts, data licences and usage quotas are included in neither Free nor Pro.
