## What is UpGo!?

Climbing safely with abundant functions such as browsing the map offline, notifying the current position by voice, searching for a destination with AR View, importing an external GPX file, and safety confirmation. 
UpGo!'s recorded data is stored only on your device and can be used safely without advertisements. You can save up to 5 times in the free version. If you like it, you can save it as many times as you like (only billing 100 yen), and you can use the tracking function using iCloud. With the tracking function, the movement data of the person who is acting on another iPhone or iPad is displayed on the UpGo! map in near real time. This is an epoch-making function for confirming safety.

＜Major features＞
