iCloud

Road Trip uses iCloud for on-line backups and for syncing between multiple devices. Backups occur automatically and your data can be easily restored or transferred to a new device. It is the easiest way to ensure your Road Trip data is always backed up and secure.

To use iCloud Sync in Road Trip, ensure that iCloud is enabled in your iOS device settings.

  2. Enable the iCloud Sync option.
  3. Select Sync with iCloud. This will send your data to iCloud.
