iOS and Android
What is the same and what differs between SpectreNav on iPhone and on Android, including CarPlay and Android Auto.
SpectreNav is one app on two platforms. The map, signal card, alerts, detector control, profiles, automations, camera database, reports, navigation and history are the same on both. The screenshots in these docs are from the iPhone build; where Android differs, the page says so in a note.
