七麦数据

The key feature of this app is the use of a simple pointer to find your way; no mobile data used; no maps required. This is especially useful in remote locations where accessing maps can be challenging or when travelling overseas where mobile data costs can be prohibitive.

WHAT DOES THE APP DO?
• Save numerous locations to return to or visit later.
• A simple pointer guides you where to go. Choose any route and the pointer continually updates the direction required to reach your goal location.
• How far away? The distance to your destination is constantly updated as you progress.

STORE AND MANAGE AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF LOCATIONS
• Store your current location to return to it later
• Store any location anywhere in the world
• Planning a trip? No problem. Store multiple places to visit in advance ready for your arrival.
• Sort your locations into an order that makes most sense to you.

FIND LOCATIONS USING GPS AND A SIMPLE POINTER, OR USING MAPS
• Find your way using GPS and a simple pointer; uses no mobile data, maps not required.
• See how far away from your chosen destination you are at any time.
• If you’re connected, you can choose to use the Maps integration to navigate to your destination instead.

SOME EXAMPLES OF WHEN AND WHERE YOU MIGHT USE THE APP
• Parked your car in an unfamiliar city? Maybe you’ve parked in a long stay airport car park and gone on holiday? No worries, you’ll easily find your car when you want to go home.
• Pitched your tent at a festival amongst 1000’s of others? You’ll find it again, anytime, no problem.
• Want to find your way to a particular tourist attraction? Save the location using the built-in map and follow the pointer to find it.
• Need to get back to your start point after a long walk in the countryside? That’s not an issue, and you can check how far away you are from your start point at any time.

HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM THE APP
• The app uses the built-in GPS chip in your device. This requires clear line of sight from your device to the sky to lock on to GPS signals broadcast from space to establish your position on Earth. If you stand between skyscrapers, sit inside a building or walk under dense foliage then this will likely impact the GPS chip in your device from establishing an accurate location. Try to find some clear sky and your device will soon find your location.
• Avoid magnetic interference near your device as this can affect the built-in compass and give a false direction. Moving the device around away from interference can help it pick up the Earth’s magnetic field and determine which way is North. If the device determines it needs to recalibrate its compass then the standard compass calibration screen will be displayed.
• Continuously using any app that uses GPS will drain the battery more quickly than normal. The app only uses GPS while it is active so one way to minimise battery usage is to use the app when you need to check the direction you need to travel to reach your destination.

AND FINALLY…

We built this app to make navigating without maps as simple as possible.

If you have any feedback, ideas for new features or suggestions for improvement we’d love to hear from you. You can get in touch with us via options on the Settings screen of the app.

And if you like the app and want to support us, please, give us a 5-star review, you’ll make us more than happy :)

'find my way back now' is a great app to bookmark places to return to or visit later. It not only helps you find your way back to places like your parked car, your hotel, the train station etc. but it also allows you to store places to visit before you even set off. Return to or visit any bookmarked location with the mobile data free mode (using just the built-in GPS and direction pointer) or use maps where connectivity permits, the choice is yours.

STORE AND MANAGE AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF LOCATIONS

● Store your current location using GPS
● Store any location anywhere in the world using maps
● Planning a trip? No problem. Store multiple places to visit in advance ready for your arrival
● Sort your locations into an order that makes most sense for you
● Share locations with other users (running 'find my way back now' version 3.1.0 or later) via email or sms. Send a location to family and/or friends and arrange to meet

FIND LOCATIONS USING GPS/DIRECTION POINTER OR USING MAPS

● One key differentiator of this app over others is the use of GPS and the custom direction pointer to find your way; no data used, no maps required. Great for remote locations or overseas travel
● At any time, see how far from your destination you are as the crow flies
● Alternatively, if you're connected, use the Maps integration to navigate your way to your destination instead

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT 'find my way back now'?

● 'find my way back now' comes into its own if you are ever without cellular coverage or when you travel overseas and want to avoid data roaming charges
● Use 'find my way back now' completely data free to store your current location as well as find any stored location using the specially designed custom direction pointer
● When you have cellular coverage or WiFi access, you can use the built in map functionality to drop pins to store locations anywhere in the world as well as drag and drop pinned locations to refine exact positioning

HOW BEST TO USE 'find my way back now'

● Sharing a location with others via sms requires the recipient to have upgraded to at least this version of the app for this feature to work
● Ensure you have clear line of sight from your device to the sky so your device can lock on to the free GPS signals broadcast from the numerous GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. If you stand between skyscrapers, sit inside a building or walk under dense tree foliage the GPS signal will likely be blocked. Find some clear sky and the device will find your location
● Avoid magnetic interference (like that found in vehicles or near other electronic gadgets or appliances) as this can affect the built-in compass and give a false direction. If the device determines it needs to be re-calibrated then it will automatically display the standard iOS compass calibration screen
