Send this information back to base via Email, with an Optional Photo. (Take a new photo or choose existing from library) *

The Email Subject and Email Text can be customised and saved from the Settings Tab. Once set, your customised text will be used for each new Email message.

Simplified information can also be sent via Text Message / iMessage or as a Twitter "Tweet". *

Includes a handy graphical guide to the United States UTM Zones.

For the best accuracy, use in an open space, away from trees or hill edges.

Like a traditional compass, use with the phone in a flat position, not upright.

When continued usage is required, you can set the iPhone Screen to stay on indefinitely, from the Settings tab.

This app requires Location Services to be enabled in your iPhone, and you must grant permission to the app to use these.

Compatible with iPhone. Not compatible with iPod Touch, or (non-cellular) iPads, due to the lack of GPS and Compass hardware.

* - Internet Connection, and correctly configured Text Message (or iMessage), Email and / or Twitter settings, required to fulfil.

Terrible! Would not let me make a list of waypoints


Basic and simple

This app does exactly what it says it is going to do. There are no bells or whistles. The one thing I miss is elevation. Using consumer-level GPS for elevation is an estimate, but in the mountains it can be useful. Put it in the update!
