Current Location and Departure Checklist

  • Current Location: latitude, longitude, altitude, accuracy, and location permission status.
  • Departure Checklist: whether offline maps are enabled, whether GPS is positioned (showing time and accuracy), and battery level. It is recommended to depart only when all three items show green checkmarks.
  • Sunrise/Sunset: calculated based on your current location; you can confirm the time it gets dark when planning your trip.
  • If You Return Now, Estimated Time to Reach Trailhead: displayed after loading a GPX route, calculated based on your location and route, for reference only. The estimated speed can be adjusted in 'Settings → Tracking' by changing the hiking speed coefficient (the larger the number, the longer the estimated time and the more conservative).

Weather Forecast

The info panel displays the weather forecast for the county/city at the current center of the map, including weather phenomena, temperature range, and rainfall probability, and estimates local temperature based on altitude. You don't need to be in the mountains—drag the map to the mountain area you want to visit to plan your trip in advance.

Info After Loading a Route

After loading a GPX route, the info panel will show route summary, mountain entry permit and park entry permit reminders, and route progress. When you deviate from the loaded route by more than 50 meters, you will be reminded with sound and vibration (this can be turned off in 'Settings → Tracking' under 'Route Deviation Alert').
