• Real Navigation Power: Unlike other apps that simply display waypoints and routes on a map, iHikeGPS NZ empowers you to do real navigation to those waypoints and along those routes while receiving crucial information such as Estimated Time of Arrival, current bearing, and remaining distance and elevation gain to intermediate and final destinations. Use iHikeGPS NZ when you are on the trail and away from cell service. For your safety on the trail it always works no matter where you are hiking without requiring an Internet connection.
• You can view elevation graphs of your Tracks and Routes with Waypoints, speed and % grade shown on them.
• You can view elevation graphs of your Tracks and Routes with Waypoints, speed and % grade shown on them.
• You can create, import, edit, and navigate both on routes based on a recorded or imported path, and on routes based on a series of waypoints.
• There is never any confusion over what maps you have available offline. They are clearly listed and shown on an overview map.
• iHikeGPS NZ' s code size is kept very small by efficient programming so in an emergency, you can download it easily even over a weak cell connection.
• The current version of iHikeGPS NZ runs on the latest devices and also on older devices with older versions of iOS , all the way back to devices such as the iPhone 6.
• Check the App Privacy section. We don't know who you are when you are using iHikeGPS NZ. We never send your current location or your recorded track to our servers. Hence we cannot and don't use your location data. We cannot and don't provide your location data to anyone else. Unlike other mapping apps that profit from using your location data in ways that do not keep it private, iHikeGPS NZ maintains the highest level of data confidentially.
Posted on YouTube: "On that day I was using iHikeGPS app to track… When I'm doing any exploration hike, this is the app I would always use to make sure I will be able to return to my car. I've encounter dead zone areas where there's no internet signal, some apps will freeze and stop working… I would not rely on using those … apps for exploration hikes. As basic iHikeGPS appears to be, it continues to work flawless without internet. To this day I continue to use iHikeGPS for certainty and survival." - Carlos
