The main view shows your tracking data of one or several days. The selected days are shown as title in the top.

At the bottom you can move to your next / previous track or use the buttons on both sides the field. Between these buttons some statistical information of your track is given, as start time, end time, time spent, top speed (speed), and average speed (avg).

The track shows some labels for waypoints provided by a location service when online. These labels are stored with the track, you may edit them by tapping at them.
