- Its Warsaw–Berlin, 560 km browser simulation uses fictitious data and labels itself simplified under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.
Field notes
The proposed Simple mode emphasizes large driving, break, and rest counters; Full mode adds missions, border records, earnings, costs, and vehicle weight. A browser simulation follows a fictional Warsaw–Berlin run, and the page says its data are fictitious. The site also says app data stay on the phone and that the tachograph, not the app, remains authoritative at roadside checks.
