Average Battery Consumption and Low Power Mode – iOS

The main goal of the Route4Me iPhone Route Planner is to make your routing activities more flexible and enable you to effortlessly plan and optimize your routes on the go. When out in the field, the battery life of your device is an important parameter to track and a valuable resource to preserve – the longer your device stays charged and active the more activities you can perform. By adjusting the settings of your device and the Route4Me iPhone app, you can manipulate your average battery usage depending on the routing operations you need to execute.
