Info Panel 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 → Tracks & Navigation' by changing the hiking pace factor (the larger the number, the longer the estimated time and the more conservative).

Open it with Full weather in the info panel. The layout follows Apple Weather. All data comes from Taiwan's Central Weather Administration (CWA), and only place names are sent to the server, never coordinates.

1. Tap the place name at the top to switch between townships or mountain forecast points "near here".
2. Tap the thermometer icon at the top right for Mountain Stations, and the arrow icon to refresh.
3. Use the search bar to look up any peak or township without moving the map.
4. The day strip switches days. The further ahead, the less reliable the forecast, and later days are labelled as forecast.

From top to bottom the screen shows:

• Warnings: heavy rain, strong wind, low temperature and other bulletins currently issued for the county; expand one for the full text.
• Mountain cautions: for a peak forecast, thunderstorm and freezing risks inferred from the forecast. This is not a CWA warning; go by conditions on the ground and official bulletins.
• Current weather and hourly forecast: weather, temperature and an hourly row, with the current slot boxed. Values are colored good, caution or severe.
• Nearby observation: live readings from the nearest weather station within 50 km, including today's high and low, humidity, pressure, wind, gusts, rain and UV, with the station's elevation and distance, and how far the measurement is from the forecast.
• Temperature, chance of rain and total rainfall: total rainfall is measured by nearby rain gauges, over the past 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours and 2 and 3 days. CWA normally publishes only a chance of rain, not forecast millimeters.
• Daily comparison: today against yesterday's forecast. The app starts keeping forecasts the day you first use it, so there is no comparison on day one.
• Route high point: opened from a GPX route, estimates the temperature at the route's highest elevation, dropping 0.6°C per 100 m.
• Details and options: wind, humidity, feels like, dew point, chance of rain, comfort, UV and sunrise/sunset, plus units for temperature (Celsius/Fahrenheit) and precipitation (millimeters/inches).

The thermometer icon at the top right of the full weather screen lists mountain weather stations. Sort by Highest first or Nearest first, or search by station or county name. Tap a station for temperature, humidity, wind, gusts and rain; a reading over an hour old warns that the station may be down. Show on Map returns to the map and flies to the station.

Stations and the Nearby observation card also have a 7-day / 30-day trend you can switch between temperature, humidity, wind, rain and pressure. Daily rain is the day's largest running total. The Aki Map server records readings hourly, so a freshly started history is short and the screen says how many days it covers.

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 → Location & Safety' under 'Alert when off route').
