17. Terms of Use
The copyright holder and developer are not responsible for the outcomes of using this app. Upon first GPS use, allow location information services when prompted. Note that continuous GPS use will drain your battery, so carry a spare if your device is also used for emergency communication. For an in-depth explanation of the navigation function, refer to the PDF at https://www.kashmir3d.com/online/superdemapp/superdem_navi.pdf.
Some smartphones may experience interruptions or failures in track recording due to power-saving features forcibly closing background apps. A workaround is to keep the screen on while using Super Terrain, but this isn't a permanent solution.
