I am going to suggest that you go back and work with Furkot more. It does a lot more than most and almost as much as the old Street Atlas -
- BUT - a lot of what it can do is veritable "Easter Egg" in that you have to go looking for it. The help files are very good and seem to be pretty complete, but I have trouble with the developer's vocabulary as things don't always have the name I expect.
Some things are very subtle. Like if you change the icon of a stop to a fuel pump, the app uses that as a sign that you filled the fuel at the location and tracks fuel from there.
It is not at all easy to get it to EOD and a non-standard location (Rest Area, Walmart or the like), but if you pick the correct icon for that stop it will usually get the idea.
I just wish I could download it as we are out of coverage a lot of our travels and that is with a 3wERP repeater. Without that things would be hopeless.
