There isn't, but that's intentional for a couple of reasons. The first is that most apps don't provide much if anything in the way of a guide, and the second that is hopefully it's intuitive and if not (which is entirely possible, and still a valid research finding) it should show up in the questionnaire results.

In order not to skew any results or invalidate the research I can't say much about how to use it, but I don't think it's too much for me to say that as long as you put in start and end points and times for a ride, you can then let it track you wherever you are. In theory you could put in fake start and end details just to let others see where you are on the map.
