This app is a real navigation tool designed for outdoors sports
like hiking bushwalking mountain biking kayaking and trail riding.
It is also well suited to uses like mining forestry and
archaeology. Its simple to use and works even in the remotest back
country since it doesn't need network connectivity. It allows you
to work in UTM or lat/lon coordinates so you can use it with your
paper topographic maps. Waypoints and track logs recorded in the
field can be be viewed later in Google Earth.
BASE FEATURES:
* Shows current location in easting/northing (UTM) or lat/lon
* Shows speed direction of travel distance travelled in either
metric or imperial/US units
* Can store current location as a waypoint and can store track
logs
* Waypoints and track logs can be imported from and exported to
Google Earth KML and GPX files
* Allows manual entry of waypoint coordinates in UTM MGRS or
lat/lon
* Custom waypoint symbols
* Can guide you to a waypoint with the "Goto" screen with optional
audible proximity alert
* Has magnetic compass page (devices with mag sensors only)
* Computes local magnetic declination and geoid correction at
startup using the IGRF-12 and EGM96 models
* Can display either a simple map of your current location and the
stored waypoints or a Google Map
* Supports the world-wide WGS84 datum along with the Australian
datums AGD66 AGD84 GDA94. (You can also use WGS84 for NAD83
maps)
* Shows satellite locations and signal strengths graphically
* Can display simple 6 8 or 10 digit grid refs or MGRS grid
ref.
* Waypoint-to-waypoint distance and direction
* Optional timer to record walk duration and compute average
speed
* Can be used instead of "MyTracks" app
* Thoroughly tested by developer on many off-track walks
EXTRA FEATURES IN THIS VERSION:
* Unlimited number of waypoints and track log points. (Free version
limited to 3 waypoints and 40 tracklog points)
* Email or SMS containing a clickable link showing your location
can be sent to a friend.
* Common datums such as NAD83 (US) OSGB36 (UK) NZTM2000 (NZ) SAD69
(South America) and ED50 (Europe) can be selected from the custom
datum page or you can configure your own datums including local
grid systems (such as those used at mine sites). You can also load
and save datum params.
* UK grid refs with two letter prefixes can be shown if OSGB datum
selected. OSGB grid refs can also be shown on smartwatches.
* Elevation profile of your route can be shown.
* Average GPS locations over time to give more accurate result.
* Take photos from the app which are optionally geotagged or have
the location "burnt" into image.
* Show sun rise and set times.
* Export waypoints to CSV file in current coordinate system.
* Create a new waypoint by projecting an existing one using an
entered distance and bearing.
* Compute length area and elevation change for tracklog.
* Offline map support by downloading tiles from map tile servers or
using your own map images.
* Comes complete with an Android Wear version for use on your
Android Wear smartwatch.
PERMISSIONS: (1) GPS - to determine your location (2) Network
