Reset Current Activity: Gives you the option to start a new collection session and track your Estimated Tiles Mapped in real-time.
Filters Your Contribution: Need to see your contributions within a specific timeframe. Filter by timeframe so you can see how many tiles you mapped Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or All Time.
