## What is SigTrax?

Signal Tracking Toolkit

SigTrax is the signal tracker’s toolkit combining the power and visual capabilities of IOS mobile devices with high precision GPS locating and hand held mapping to plot bearings and determine Crosspoints™, locations where bearing lines cross, potentially the location of a signal’s origin.
THE SIGTRAX DIFFERENCE
Signal tracking has always been a vital resource, assisting in emergency situations,locating interference or noise sources and serving as a valuable asset for spectrum monitoring.  SigTrax expands this resource by supplying tools that allow signal trackers to find the origin of signals faster with more accurate results.

SIMPLIFY THE TRACKING PROCESS
The advent of mobile smart devices allows us to have tools that before were either non-existent or like the signal trackers collection of papers, maps and marking instruments, unwieldy to carry and use. With SigTrax, manually handling maps, plotting intersection points and determining a route to reach an intersection point is eliminated, simplifying searches resulting in faster and more accurate results.

BEARINGS AND CROSSPOINTS™
Bearings are lines from a starting coordinate toward a compass heading as an indication of the approximate direction of a signal.  Bearings can be entered into SigTrax in multiple ways, selectively viewed, edited or deleted.  Bearing collections can be archived then retrieved at a later time, vital when tracking signals over long time periods.

Crosspoints, locations where bearing lines intersect, are automatically managed
when bearings are added, deleted or edited. 

Driving maps complete with text and voice routing instructions direct the user to a Crosspoint location.

EASY TO USE
The SigTrax user interface was designed to be simple and easy to use in less than ideal conditions.  SigTrax can be customized to individual preferences and needs using the Settings function.  A complete User Guide is included for quick reference.

SigTrax+ OPTIONAL FEATURES
SigTrax+ optional purchasable features expand the signal tracking toolkit.

SigShare™ allows bearings and archives to be displayed in a large format such as Google Earth, ideal for presentations.

DataTrax™ is a smart interface that automatically inserts and plots bearing generated from external systems such as Doppler.

The SigTrax website details DataTrax features and requirement.

TraxTeam™ allows cooperative hunting, a foundation of signal tracking, that greatly extends the possibility of a successful and timely hunt, vital in emergency situations.
Multiple trackers form a TraxTeam™ instantaneously sharing bearing information with the hunt group.

REQUIREMENTS

### 5/5 — Super App für Peilung

*2021-08-19, version 2.4.9*

Habe die App auf IOS seit 3 Jahren und läuft problemlos.
Inzwischen auch auf Iphone 12 kein Problem.
Die Bedienung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig daher wäre hier Erklärungsbedarf evtl.auch mehrsprachig wünschenswert 
aber die Leistung ist Bestens  ! Ideal geeignet zur Peilung eines Störsenders oder zur Fuchsjagt oder auch zum Ausrichten eines Parabolspiegels z.B auf 10 Ghz.
Für mich verwunderlich das so wenige die App haben.Hier wäre eine Präsentation z.B in einer Amateurfunkzeitschrift nützlich.
Wenn die Beschreibung besser wäre hätte ich 5 Sterne gegeben.
Für Funkamateure ein super Tool.

### 5/5 — I’m so glad I found this App!

*2018-07-23*

I don’t use this App for it for what is what designed for but once I figured out some settings it works great for what I do use it for.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2017-02-11*

This program seemed more like it was made for entertainment purposes than the nav purposes. I deleted it after five minutes.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2016-09-17, version 1.5.4*

Nice App but since Update to iOS 10 automatically Bearing insert will not work anymore.
Please update!

### 2/5 — Not compatible with iPad-Air

*2014-08-17*

Purchased and download but could not install on iPad-Air.  iOS said not
'compatible with iPad'
