Locating and Tracking Modes

Tapping the locate button for the first time activates GPS and enters "Follow": map always centers on your location.
Tap again to enter "Follow and Rotate" mode; the map rotates to match your direction of travel.
Tap again to turn following off. You can move the map freely; GPS continues running.
Long press the locate button and select "Stop Locating" to completely stop GPS to save battery.

Map Layers

You can individually toggle terrain and land cover, water and waterways, contour lines, roads, mountain trails, place names, mountain POIs, buildings, protected area boundaries, slope shading, plus navigation routes and recorded tracks. You can also toggle all layers at once.
Layers not supported by the current map data will be automatically disabled. For example, the lightweight version map data does not have slope shading or building details at maximum zoom.
Coordinate grid lines and scale bar can be toggled independently.

Coordinate Format

Coordinates are displayed in the format you choose. The Add Waypoint screen shows decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, and TWD97 together. The safety location card shows WGS84, TWD97, and UTM coordinates, making them easier to share with rescue services.
