Can I run Hodos while using Pathao or inDrive?
Yes. Enable automatic mapping once and Hodos runs silently in the background while you accept rides and navigate in Pathao, inDrive, or Google Maps.
How does Hodos make money if the app is free?
Hodos earns in two transparent ways: (1) commercial data licensing of aggregated road quality feeds to logistics fleets, insurers, and municipalities, and (2) clearly badged "Driver Partner" perks (tires, oil changes, garages, fuel) inside the app and map.
How are hazards color-coded on the live map?
Potholes are shown in crimson, rough road stretches in warm amber, speed bumps in violet, and repaired spots in emerald—keeping your blue location dot unmistakably clear.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The Android app queues observations locally when you're offline and can automatically cache a 20 km nearby map area over Wi-Fi.
