FAQ 

What's the difference between light and dark mode?

Light mode displays app screens with a white background, while dark mode features screens with a dark grey background. Dark mode is beneficial for reducing eye strain in low-light environments and preserving battery life.

Where can I find Settings? 

Settings can be found in the Menu on the bottom navigation bar on the GoodMaps app screen.
