## What is Waypoint?

Did you ever get lost on a trail and then reached your GPS app to realize that you don't have an internet connection? YIKES! Then you need to download the original "Outdoorsman GPS App". 

Waypoint is a fun Navigation App that shows you the STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION and distance to a destination set by you before without needing an internet connection. Since 2011, outdoors enthusiasts like you can save key locations like watering holes, tree stands, your car's location, hidden stashes, etc. As long as you have a good, clear sky, you can go back to your saved location, NO INTERNET REQUIRED.

NOTE: Waypoint is designed to be used in the remote, outdoor areas, where phone or internet signal does not reach. 

NOTE: For best accuracy, use Waypoint only outside, where you have a clear path to the sky. Walls lower GPS accuracy and big metal objects near the device impact the Compass.

NOTE: If issues appear, please use the support site so we can target and fix them, thank you.

### 3/5 — Does not fit screen

*2025-04-29, version 2.1.3*

Layouts to large for iPhone screen      Can not see full compass

### 5/5 — Waypoints app - the perfect app!!

*2022-03-06, version 2.1.3*

I wanted a simple to use app and this is it!  It’s easy to enter waypoint info, there’s a compass in the lower right corner so you know what direction you’re facing, there’s a large arrow pointing to the waypoint in the middle of the screen, the distance to the waypoint is shown and lastly the accuracy of the distance is shown in the upper right.   I will never lose my car again whether at Disney World, the Indy 500 or at a large mall.

### 5/5 — Simply marvellous

*2019-04-12, version 2.1.3*

Very simple to use and navigate by. I wonder how I missed this smart little app. So handy for marking points off the beaten track, where normal phone maps do not work.

### 3/5 — Easy improvement would be helpful

*2019-03-11, version 2.1.3*

Button to save the current location and then give it a name. 

Next, option to be able to enter lat/long in deg:min:sec

This app is great for sailboat racing.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-01-02, version 2.1.3*

Just a pic of cardboard. No entry point. Nothing. Incomprensible garbage.

### 1/5 — No map.

*2018-12-30, version 2.1.3*

Shouldn't there be a map? All i get is cardboard.

### 1/5 — Can’t enter location without lat and long

*2018-12-20, version 2.1.3*

You can’t search your location from the map. You can’t hit enter on a written search in the search field.

Without these features this app is useless, unless you already know your latitude and longitude and have it memorized to enter into the app

### 3/5 — Absolutely no instructions

*2018-11-04, version 2.1.3*

There should be a small short trial or walk through.  Even after watching videos since the videos didn’t explain which buttons to push to save your current location.  I had to find alternate ways to contact.

### 1/5 — Was good in the beginning!

*2018-09-06, version 2.1.3*

Why so many stupid changes on something that worked so good when it first came out?

### 5/5 — Does what I need

*2018-07-06, version 2.1.2*

Easy to use app that seems to do what I need. Easily save a GPS waypoints so you can get back to that location after riding through the trails.

The app utilizes your device's GPS capabilities to determine your location and provide directions. As long as you have a clear view of the sky, it can function independently of cellular or internet signals, making it ideal for remote areas.

### What kind of locations can I save?

You can save any key locations relevant to your outdoor activities. This includes things like watering holes, tree stands, your car's parking spot, hidden caches, or any other point of interest you might want to return to later.
