Instuctions:

- After installing the app and opening it for the first time you will see a popup stating "Allow BirdsEye to use your location?". Tap on the "Allow While Using App" option
- A little while later you will see a second popup stating "Allow BirdsEye to also use your location even when you are not using the app?". Tap on the "Change to Always Allow" option. This is recommended as it will enable the app to record your location even if the screen is locked or if other apps are in the foreground. If you do not select the "Change to Always Allow" option the readings will not be captured any time the BirdsEye app is not visible on the screen
- You can update the BirdsEye Location preference settings at any time by selecting the gray Settings gear icon on your device, then select BirdsEye, then select Location, and make any necessary changes
- The app starts recording your location details right away when you open the app. GPS recording can be paused and resumed using the big button at the top of the Settings page
- The BirdsEye app will stop recording your location and will not consume battery power when you close the app
- Closing the app will end the gps recording and will clear all recorded information, so please be certain to Save or Share your GPX file before closing the app
