You're Ready to Start Mapping

After you've connected the companion app to the dashcam, and made sure the dashcam is mounted properly using the dashcam image preview in the app you are ready to start mapping.

Depending on when you received your dashcam, its firmware may not be up to date. Connecting the dashcam to the companion app for the first time may trigger a firmware update. Once the update finishes installing, you will be ready to start mapping.
