Usual Top of My Location Page (#1*)

A “Go To” Waypoint or Route is Set (#2*)

* When a “Go To” waypoint or a route is active, tap twice in the gray bar to switch between
(#1) and (#2).

Change the units displayed (e.g. degrees, UTM) by using the Settings App.

When using a “Go To” waypoint or a route with waypoints, the Distance and Bearing are for the straight-line to the next waypoint. The ETA is to the next waypoint.

When using a route converted from a track log, the Distance is along the curved route to the end of the route. The Bearing is the direction to the next point on the route. The ETA is to the end of the route.

When a Location or Elevation Accuracy background turns yellow, this indicates that the GPS satellite signals are not being received properly. Therefore your position may be off.

Stitching Maps

The option to stitch adjacent maps together is selected using the Settings App.

Maps for adjacent areas may be downloaded by double-tapping in a blank space or by going to the Map List page.

Stitch Maps OFF	Stitch Maps ON
Only one map is shown.	Multiple maps are shown.
Map margins are shown.	Map margins are hidden.
Fastest map display.	Slower when multiple maps are on screen. Zoom in to speed up.
Zoom out to show the entire length of very long tracks and routes.	Zoom out is limited to less than the size of one map.

When two adjacent maps partially overlap, as for example along the USA-Canada border, to bring the back map to the front, tap its name on the Map List page.

Map Stitching Limitations

Map stitching works best with the iPhone 5 and 4S, the 4th and 3rd generation iPads, and the 5th generation iPod touch. Stitching will still function on older devices, but map display updating may be too slow for convenient use due to the limited processing power.

Most USGS topo maps use the UTM map projection, which changes when you cross the boundary line between two UTM zones due to the curvature of the earth.

Thus map stitching will not work across the black lines shown on this map of UTM zones.

California USGS maps use the Albers Conic map projection instead of UTM. USGS map stitching works anywhere within California, but it will not work across the California borders with Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.

Clear a “Go To” waypoint	Tap the “Go To” Waypoint name (shown in green). Tap “Cancel Go To”.

After setting a “Go To” waypoint on the Waypoints page, the top bar of the “My Location” page looks like this: The Estimated Time of Arrival is recalculated every few seconds, based on the trail just traveled since the “Go To” waypoint was set, and assuming that the trail ahead is similar in twistiness, steepness, and direction. The ETA will not appear until you have hiked a couple of minutes with track recording turned on, so your speed can be more accurately determined.

The elevation difference will be shown only if the “Go To” waypoint has an altitude entry.

If your speed exceeds 9 miles per hour, then the Course (the direction you are moving) will be shown instead of the compass reading.

Battery Life:

You can turn off several settings to reduce the iOS device's drain on its battery when you are using iHikeGPS on a long hike. Adjust the following settings in Apple's “Settings” App:

• Tap “Wi-Fi”, then Turn off Wi-Fi.
• Tap “Bluetooth”, then turn Bluetooth off.
• Tap “Brightness & Wallpaper”, then turn down the screen brightness to the lowest acceptable level.
• Tap “iCloud”, then tap “Documents & Data”, turn off “Use Cellular”.
• Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”. Tap “Fetch New Data”. Turn off “Push” and tap “Manually”.
• Tap “iTunes & App Store”, then turn off “Use Cellular Data”.

Also:

• Plug the iOS device into a car charger on your way to the trailhead so that you start the hike with a completely charged battery.
• On the Track Page, select “Always”. Put the iOS device to sleep when you are not looking at it. When you stop for lunch or to enjoy the views, on the Track Page select “Off”.
  (Don't forget to turn Track Recording back on before resuming your hike.)

If you follow all the steps, you may be able to record tracks for about 10 hours of actual hiking. Use an external battery pack to extend this time.
