* trackloging in NMEA or GPX format
* simple navigation (to a single waypoint or along a route)
* compas screen (HPS)
* cockpit screen (CMS)
* location sharing via SMS with other trekbuddies

and more.

It supports most commonly used map projections and grids, such as:

* Latitude/Longitude
* Mercator
* Transverse Mercator
* Universal Transverse Mercator
