Crank Main • OBD-FREE route context

Drive / Travel

Drive / Travel is the fast Crank Main path for route and trip context. It keeps mapping, travel and recording functions useful even when no OBD-II reader is connected.

What this section does.

This page describes the capability architecture represented in the current Crank development build. Interface wording may continue to be polished, but the functions below are the working product structure.

Fast route access

Drive / Travel keeps common route and trip actions on Crank Main instead of burying them inside diagnostic menus.

Map / Track

GPS route recording and later path review support work, travel and evidence use cases.

Experience bridge

The operator can move into Experience Recorder when the trip needs a richer session record.

GPS favorites

Stored locations and Return Compass tools support repeat field visits and wayfinding.

Travel assistance

Travel resource handoffs can support lodging, food, fuel and transportation searches.

Rental context

Travel/rental workflows can stay separate from the operator’s permanent owned-vehicle history.

Works without OBD-II

The route path remains useful on old vehicles, rentals, equipment and other contexts where there is no code reader.

Selected asset context

When the route belongs to a known asset, the record can stay with that asset packet.

Evidence handoff

Route context can support Motorheads, Driver Suite, Experience Recorder and incident records without needing to duplicate the path.

Crank truth boundary: Crank does not make OBD-II the price of admission for useful driving records. Route and trip evidence can stand on GPS and operator context alone.
