The White Mountain Hiker (WMH) apps are the ones I wrote for my own hiking. The apps to prioritize 2 things of interest to serious hikers: offline access to data about their hike and privacy. WMH Moosi covers the area west of Franconia Notch from the Kinsman Ridge, Mt. Moosilauke, to Stinson Mountain. The apps come with: • Two different base maps, each with 40 ft contours and a maximum resolution of 2 meters per pixel (zoom level 16). A simple gray shaded relief map that emphasizes topography whereas a full color base map emphasizes ledges, gullies, etc. • A 10 m resolution, on-board digital elevation model (DEM) which enables the user to get the elevation at any point, draw topographic profiles along any path, calculate true slope distance and not just map distance. No internet connection needed for topo or maps. • Digitized trails for the entire region from the U.S. Forest Service (with 5 m point spacing) and NH Granit public databases. Toggle on or off different types, make calculations, plot topo profiles along the trails, change the colors of different trail types to suite your liking. • A builtin database of many hundreds of geographic points, summits, huts and shelters, natural features of interest, and other points of interest (POIs). All major summits have been located using the highest elevation in the DEM. • Custom hikes can combine segments of several different existing trails and you still get all the data on slope, elevation gain, etc. that you could want. • Record GPS tracks, or freehand draw paths to record your favorite bushwhack. Topo profiles can be plotted along these paths so you can see what you are getting yourself into (or already did). Share these off-trail excursions as .GPX files with other users. • An innovative rangefinder uses the builtin DEM along with the device compass and accelerometers to give you the distance and bearing to a feature simple by pointing the device camera at it. The accuracy of this feature is subject to the accuracy of the device magnetometer, which is easily affected by magnetic fields. • Set your own POIs and attach photos to them or take new photos without leaving the app. Photos can be annotated. User POIs can be emailed to anyone the user likes. Do not rely on this as a safety feature as it only works when you have a cellular data connection and there are many parts of the White Mountains without reliable cell service! • Weather forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) — with hourly conditions for the next seven days — for any POI. Want to see how hard the wind is blowing on top of Mt. Washington? Sure! This feature requires an internet connection. • Weather radar base and composite reflectivity from the NWS can be overlaid right on the base map so you can see where inclement weather lies with respect to your hike. This feature requires an internet connection but your location is not sent to the NWS server. • A builtin Apple Maps screen displays all of the trails and POIs on a satellite, hybrid, or road map. • Your privacy is respected: your location is never sent to any advertising agency, the programmer, or anyone else (unless you choose the email or message your location). The app is not ad-supported, does not collect any personal data, and can be used without ever connecting to the internet (except for the weather functions). • Some things that the app does NOT have: (a) builtin trail descriptions (although you can tap a button in the trail details screen to launch your device browser to search the internet for information about the trail). (b) Social networking. You cannot connect or post to your favorite social networking sites from within the app. There are plenty of fine apps that will let you do this (and harvest your location at the same time!). ## Key features - Offline base maps with contour lines - On-board digital elevation model (DEM) - Digitized trails with customizable colors - Database of geographic points and POIs - Custom hike planning and analysis - GPS track recording and sharing - DEM-based rangefinder - User-defined POIs with photos ## Frequently asked questions about White Mtn Hiker Moosi ### What hiking areas does White Mtn Hiker Moosi cover? White Mtn Hiker Moosi covers the area west of Franconia Notch, from the Kinsman Ridge and Mt. Moosilauke to Stinson Mountain in the White Mountains. ### Can I use White Mtn Hiker Moosi without an internet connection? Yes, the app is designed for offline use.

The huts, shelters and campgrounds have also been updated with the latest from the USFS. • The outlines of Wilderness Areas and Special Interest Areas in the White Mountains have been added. • Estimated times for any trail are now provided using the AMC formula of speed over the horizontal and time to go up 1000 ft. The app is preset to "book time" (2 MPH and 30 minutes per 1000 ft of elevation gain) but the user can change those numbers however they want in the Settings Screen. The app also now incorporates a simple "Pace Calculator" (accessed from the Settings Screen): enter the time, distance and total elevation change for a hike and the app will show you a table of horizontal and vertical paces that are compatible. You can select the pair that you want to use for future hikes. • Display a time table for multisegment custom hikes by tapping the new "Time Table" button in the contact details screen. The time table shows the distance, elevation gain or loss, and estimated time for each segment. You can export an expanded version of the Time Table (which includes average slopes, and cumulative distance and time) to send to others or to enter into a spreadsheet, etc. • Topo profiles now show the different segments of custom hikes. • Get driving directions to any trailhead or town you tap, or between any two points you tap on the map. The driving directions are provided in Apple Maps. • The uncertainty of your location is now shown as a red halo around the location dot whenever GPS is turned on. • Safe hiking links -- the USFS WMNF alerts and notifications page and the NH HikeSafe website -- are now provided at the top of the settings screen. • Better graphics at zoomed out magnification levels including the elimination of overlapping labels, etc. • Editing of user entered paths and tracks now works as it was supposed to all along. • Updated users manual. ### 2.0.0 — 2023-04-03 V. 2.0 -- 31 March 2023 • New color base map is somewhat less garnish green and is lighter overall giving better visibility of the overlying trails and points of interest. • The online satellite map view is more functional now showing exactly the same information as the base maps. You can measure distances, draw paths, sketch on the image, etc. Be aware, however, that the online map usage will download imagery over your cellular data connection when outside of wireless range and you may incur download charges. • Bug fixes and interface tweaks. ### 1.0.5 — 2022-03-17 v. 1.0.5 -- 2022-03-16 • The weather graph on the Weather screen now displays the wind direction as small arrows. This can be toggled on or off by tapping the wind direction row in the table of conditions below the plot. • Tapping the map selector at the top of the Legend Screen will select the new map and automatically close the Legend Screen now. You will no longer have to swipe downwards to dismiss the Legend screen manually. • Subtle improvements to the base maps which include display of more ponds and lakes. • Fixed a daylight saving time bug that affected the sunrise and sunset times in the Weather Screen. ### 1.0.1 — 2022-02-08 No release notes. ## More apps by Richard Allmendinger - [Stereonet Mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stereonet-mobile/id1194772610) - [FaultKin Mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/faultkin-mobile/id1234264776) - [Strat Mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/strat-mobile/id1289101464) - [Chocorua Map](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chocorua-map/id1475276985) - [GMDE Lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gmde-lite/id1557325241) - [White Mtn Hiker Pemi](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/white-mtn-hiker-pemi/id1580650866) All apps by Richard Allmendinger: https://appshunter.io/developer/1194772609 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
