Bliss Score™ & Levels

The game consists of increasingly difficult levels. You must earn 1000 points on each level to move to the next level. Your score is based on how economically your are driving.

The Score Direction Indicator shows whether the score is going down or up currently. When the score is going down continuously for a period of time, clouds will appear and the sky will darken, and the sun will fade. When the score starts to go up again, over time, the sky will clear and brighten again!

The following are some Eco-Driving tips to maximize your score!

Keep Moving

Avoid stopping and starting frequently; make your stops and starts gentle.

Maintain a Steady Speed

This is the most effective way to earn points. So, keep an eye for synchronized traffic lights and maintain the appropriate speed. Use your car's cruise control to help you maintain your speed on the highway.

Avoid High Speeds

Aerodynamic drag requires your car to consume more fuel as you go faster. Observing the speed limit will improve your fuel consumption vs. driving over the limit.

Green Meter

The Green Meter is a graphic summary of your score; it is bar graph that uses leaves for the bars.

Smoothness Meter

Trip Meter

A trip is started when the car first begins to move. The trip ends when Bliss Trek is closed. Turning off the device does not end the trip; it only pauses the trip.

The Trip Meter shows the elapsed time of the trip and the distance travelled. When the car is stopped, and presumably idling, the Trip Meter displays the current idle time. The accumulated idle time is also displayed.

Avoid idling to maximize your score.

Car & Driver

This screen allows you to change the car and driver displayed on the Smoothness Meter.

Penalty Speed

The Penalty Speed setting affects your score. Maximize your score by driving below the Penalty Speed as much as possible. Above the Penalty Speed, you will begin to lose points at an increasing rate the faster you go. You can change the Penalty Speed to reflect the maximum highway speed you prefer to drive. Please be sure to follow all speed limit laws, including both minimum and maximum allowable speeds, regardless of the Penalty Speed setting.

Twitter

Bliss Trek can optionally send Tweets to your Twitter account. To enable this feature, turn On Send Score Tweets and enter your Twitter login credentials. Be sure to tap on Validate Credentials to ensure that Bliss Trek can access your account.

Privacy & Liability

Bliss Trek™ uses GPS and accelerometer information to track your speed and eco-driving behavior. This speed and acceleration information is used to compute your Bliss Score™ and is then discarded; it is not recorded permanently or transmitted. Your Bliss Score may be recorded by the Bliss Trek software. You can eliminate this record by uninstalling the software.

If you enable certain networking functionality provided within this software (such as Twitter), your Bliss Score may be transmitted and recorded elsewhere. This software does not record or transmit information about your location. Bliss Trek does not record personally identifiable information, with the exception of user credentials necessary to access certain networking functionality (such as Twitter™). These credentials can be removed by blanking the user credential fields or by uninstalling the software.

Bliss Trek does not know what roads you are driving on, nor does it know about traffic conditions or speed limits. Bliss Trek is not licensed for use on public roads by people without a valid driver's license. Do not divert your attention from the road. Obey all traffic laws. Use Bliss Trek at your own risk.
