## Map and earn 🗺️🪙

After you've logged in and started driving with navigation mode, you automatically begin earning $MMAP at no cost to you. Your presence on the road contributes valuable data to the network, and for every mile you travel, you earn an amount based on your current level. Simply set your destination, and you're on your way to accumulating rewards. After every trip, you will receive a pop-up notification displaying the amount of $MMAP earned and the XP you've gained. To further boost your free earnings, actively update [live traffic](/litepaper/crypto-navigation-app/update-traffic-conditions.md#how-live-traffic-conditions-can-be-updated) or [map metadata](/litepaper/crypto-navigation-app/update-map-metadata.md) during your journey. Enjoy your drive, accumulate earnings, and maximize your benefits with MapMetrics.

## Leveling up XP 🎮

While using navigation mode, you don't only earn $MMAP; you are also collecting XP points. With these XP points, you're able to level up. Begin increasing in ranks to boost your earnings. The higher your ranks get, the more you will start earning per mile, rewarding our users who stick with the project and help it grow. As you accumulate XP points, you not only enhance your status within the community but also unlock additional benefits and features, making your navigation experience even more rewarding. So, keep driving, leveling up, and enjoy the increasing rewards that come with your commitment to our growing community.

## SPT - Boost your earnings! 🚀

To truly elevate your earnings to a more substantial level, consider investing in a Special Position Tracker, commonly known as an SPT. These devices play a crucial role by encrypting the data collected, ensuring authenticity by confirming the presence of real users behind the device. This added layer of security not only enhances the accuracy of the data but also contributes to a more robust and reliable network.
