When reporting a bug, it helps to include your iOS version, your iPhone model, and what you were doing when it happened.

Common questions

Does it work with no cell signal?

Yes. Your position, coordinates, compass, waypoints, routes and track recording all work fully offline. The only screen that needs a connection is the map, which loads Apple Maps imagery — pan the area you need while you still have signal and it stays cached for a while.

Why does it ask for "Always" location access?

Only when you tap Start Recording on the Tracks screen. Recording a track means logging your position while the phone is locked in a pocket, which iOS calls background location. It stops the moment you end the recording, and the blue status-bar indicator is shown the whole time. Nothing is uploaded.

Is there a subscription?

No. One purchase price, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads.

Which coordinate formats and datums are supported?

Formats: MGRS, USNG, UTM, Lat/Long and OSNG (British National Grid). Datums: WGS 84, NAD 27, OSGB 36, AGD 66 and ED 50.

How accurate is the position?

It uses your device's GPS, so accuracy depends on your hardware and sky view — typically a few metres outdoors. The Location screen shows the current accuracy estimate.
